I loved the original and might be a little bit biased - but Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral town is my Game of the Year 2020 so far. It doesn't only bring me back to my childhood but even lets me look at it from a new, modernised perspective. It shows me how you make a good remake. And yeah, the concept isn't new, but the message of the game still great. Also, there's no better time than the current to publish a peaceful game like this. I'm in love with the game and the Story of Seasons franchise!

Florence tells a wonderful story about first love. You can see how love grows and goes and be part of a great story. It's over after around 40 minutes and I couldn't have any influence on what's happening, but that just meant that I wanted to experience more of this game. Florence is as delicate as a flower and as mighty as a storm.

I gladly remember Kentucky Route Zero for its dense atmosphere, great soundtrack and beautiful places - even if I sometimes asked myself what I'm doing in this surreal world.

Jessika and I have been in a long relationship and I'm enjoying every second of it. Very often, the game made me angry - but just because of the great story that depicts reality.

I didn't know 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim would be that one I had been missing for years. However, soon after I started playing, I was highly fascinated by the captivating story and an excellent gameplay mix.

Do you know how it is to read a really, really good book and you're sad when it ends? When you flip the last page and would like to have the same experience all over again? This is how Half Past Fate works. It's a videogame that feels like a really good novel. For me, it's a nearly perfect experience that I won't ever forget.
