I definitely had an off gaming year. I’ve had a job change and haven’t been able to condone major game purchases throughout the year. I think the most I spent on a game (and it was an EShop card gift) was No Man’s Sky at $39.99.
So I’ve spent a lot of time with indie titles, but I don’t think that’s been a bad thing. Astroneer was a ton of fun, even though late in my game I started getting a game breaking bug which I resolved by deleting some files.
But my favorite game of the year would actually probably be Autonauts, a game about coding robots to perform resource gathering, crafting, and base construction. I love those types of games anyway, but to have to use coding to make these little robots perform simple tasks made me understand computer language better than I ever thought I would.
The game hooked me in with its cute trailer but won me over with its very cerebral implementation.
Astroneer might be my second favorite, only beating out No Man’s Sky because I played it first.
