We heard you were all waiting for a certain gaming award ceremony today, so we've got you covered... 🏆 THE SECOND ANNUAL CRITTIES ARE HERE ✨ Let's take a look at the favorite games our team played this year--which may or may not have actually come out this year! 😁

@marlowedobbe.com's pick: Crow Country 🐦 "This one stuck with me for so long after I played it! The aesthetic is immaculate, the monster designs are so incomprehensible in a scary way, the lore is very unique, and it amplifies that weird uncanny quality of old 3D horror games."

@cgortz.bsky.social's pick: Hades 🔥 @supergiantgames.bsky.social "Hades! Have you heard of this game? You should really try it it's fun!"

@jakecard.bsky.social's pick: Monster Hunter: World 🦖 @monsterhunter.capcomusa.com "Picked it back up for the 1st time since 2018. Most rewarding combat ever, and the equipment upgrade loop gets in my brain wrinkles perfectly. Can't wait to hit some Perfect Rushes with my Sword & Shield in Wilds!"

@anthony.megacrit.com's pick: Deadlock 🔫 @deadlockintel.bsky.social "Reacquainted me with the superb taste of salt. 🧂"

Ika's pick: Fields of Mistria 🐮 @fieldsofmistria.bsky.social "This game has combined the best parts of farming sims and given us pink cows, magic, and a gorgeous art direction! (pssst! Olric romance when?) 🙏"

@caseyyano.bsky.social's pick: Factorio: Space Age 🚀 @factorio.com "I always wanted a second job 👍"

@d6e.io's pick: Resonite ✨ @resonite.com "The ultimate sandbox game. Essentially a multiplayer game engine in VR. I love to tinker with items that make people laugh and collaboratively build worlds together."

@chaosed0.bsky.social's pick: Beyond All Reason 🤖 "Free to play RTS where the standard format is 8v8 and thousands of units is normal. Very unusual to see an RTS where teamwork is so heavily emphasized. Their moderation team is very active and bans toxic people. Cool game."

And last but not least, @demileaf.bsky.social's pick: Balatro 🃏 @playbalatro.com "Whenever I'm not playtesting roguelike deckbuilder Slay the Spire 2, I like to take a break and play roguelike deckbuilder Balatro. This one's got da jokers, baby."
