Hollow Knight -- overrated, but it does some stuff well too like combat and atmosphere. I think I would be less harsh on HK if its world was smaller or its warping system was more flexible. I'll be paying attention to its sequel to see if this issue continues.

Life is Strange 2 -- Square-Enix never caught the same magic LiS1 had with this or LiS:BtS. That said, I have a lot of respect for what they TRIED to do with the morality system by the end of the game with the brothers. I suspect that designer choice of Sean being your immediate impact and Daniel being your long-term impact is what led to other qualms I had with the game though. For example, episodes weren't side-by-side so much as they were spaced out between episodes, resulting in time gaps that made my decisions like what to do with my money feel less important, but it's hard to see long-term impact with Daniel too if this all took place over like a week.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps -- cool game. I probably prefer the original but they're similar in quality.

The Witness -- Jonathan Blow is a master of "tiny gasp of breath at realizing the solution" moments, and holy moly this game is huge. I prefer Braid, but Blow is into masterpiece-gaming.

How would you compare What Became of Edith Finch to other walking simulators? Looks like you liked it. I'm interested in trying it soon and would say with my experience in the genre that my favorite to least favorite would be:

The Stanley Parable
The Beginner's Guide
Gone Home
Dear Esther
the static speaks my name
Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerand: A Whirlwind Heist
