Bonus Ranking: Viewfinder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXX1bYpioAM

I have to assume this will be the last bonus ranking, and if not it really, really should be because if I keep playing indies I'll never finish the list at this rate. Viewfinder is yet ANOTHER game in the first person sci-fi reality-bending puzzle indie games, which again is a very overcrowded genre. That being said, I've at least liked every one I've played. Viewfinder is no different, with some very interesting puzzles that vary pretty drastically between hard and super super easy, but overall I'd say it wasn't overly challenging. When the puzzles clicked though, they're great. It does some very cool thing with non-photos having physical existence in the world through paintings or postcards or silly drawings. These are some of the best moments in the game, but unfortunately they don't play into the puzzles too often, they're most just neat. It also does the thing where characters only appear via voice recordings, and the characters really aren't all that interesting. I ended up just not really caring about their stories. That is, EXCEPT for Cait, who is basically the Cheshire Cat if he was British and just tagged along to tell you how smart and good at puzzles you are the whole time. Legitimately, Cait is one of the best game characters of this year.

I did enjoy it a good bit even if it's not one of my favorites ever, I think for now I'm gonna drop it just below Norco at #77
