Coho 2025 Gamelist (not a ranking b/c I can't be bothered)
Game(s) of the year
- MegaBonk - A Tier: Very fun mashup of Risk of Rain 2 and Vamp Survivors + memes
- Easy Transportation Inc.- S Tier: Just exceptional, fun short gameplay experience
- Shadows of Doubt: A Tier: REALLY cool detective game with procedural quest system. a bit too wonky to be S tier, but very worth playing.
Honorable Mentions
- Cyberpunk 2077 + Phantom Liberty: A+ Experience, Very good and immersive world Loved it.
- MonsterHunter Wilds: B Tier- A lot of the spikiness I loved of MH is gone here but I need to go back and try out the patches
- Ostranauts: A+ Tier - Super interesting and deep (but rough) space salvaging survival game. Really love the attention to detail
- Factorio: SpaceAge: SSS Tier: Just exceptional. Probably up there for favorite game of all time and the expansion kept pace amazingly
- Cast n Chill: A Tier: Very chill idle game, amazing art and fun simple fishing, but needs WAY more content/progression.
- Hackmud: B+ Tier hacking game, very immersive and nerdy terminal-based MMO? very cool concept but just a bit too inaccessible, though perhaps thats the point
- Tunnet: B Tier networking game: Yeah you network hardware and dig out new devices to build a network that's efficient, but it's a bit too steep in progression/complexity IMO
- A Short Hike: SS Tier adventure game, just amazing adventure game. Top music, fun retro art, and completable in like 2 hrs
- Ixion: C+ tier city builder: This game just is a bit to difficult in the wrong tedious ways. Great concept though!
- Shadow Empire: A Tier 4x game: SUPER deep systems, cool setting, could use more UX and polish in experience/animations/explanations. Very worth though.
Games I went back to
- Eve Online: A Tier MMO (if you're into the long haul). Has hit some great improvements in the past couple years so enjoying getting back into it.
- Stardew Valley: SSS Tier farming game ofc. You know
- Hardspace Shipbreaker: SS Tier chill break-apart spaceship game + cool story. Can't wait for more. this was my 2nd playthrough
- Webfishing: B+-A tier fishing game. Cool progression and just amazing vibes and content design. Love it and wish It wasn't abandoned but man... so good
