Julian's Gaming in 2022 - 4th

Dec 13, 2022 by Thnksfrthmmrs
This top 4 are all among my favorite games of all time. Top 20 minimum. While I'd recommend the last few as well, these are my HIGHEST OF HIGH recommendations.

A.I.: The Somnium Files was not really on my radar until this year. Didn't take much convincing from a friend on Discord though. Sci-fi murder mystery with a lot of elements similar to the Zero Escape trilogy and made by Spike Chunsoft, THE DANGANRONPA PEOPLE? Fuck yeah, sign me up!

This game doesn't take a lot of time to get going. You start off right away investigating the corpse, and the game sets up the mystery nicely. Why was her body brought to a carousel? Why is her eye missing? What happened in the first place? It doesn't take long until you're PSYNCing into the first Somnium, and from that point forward the flowchart is god. With 5 different endings and a ton of exploration to do, you've got your work cut out for you if you want to solve the mystery, and trust me when I say you are not prepared for some of this shit.

Let's discuss the game. The Somniums work KINDA like escape rooms? Diving into the psyches of various characters to uncover the truth behind situations they aren't willing to open up about (or in a couple cases, literally can't.) There's a lot of humor here despite... everything, most characters are pretty funny and if you like REFERENCES, well... you're eating good here. It balances the moods out quite nicely though, as I said there's plenty of humor, but there's also plenty of horrifying and graphic moments in here, and there's also a lot of heart. There's a couple Somniums in particular that just broke me pretty hard, and a few of the endings of routes hurt in the best way.

This game is phenomenal, and I can't wait to dive into the sequel after Christmas. This game casts a very wide net and if any of the factors in my first paragraph about the game appeal to you, CHECK THIS ONE OUT. Hell, I already got Boots22 to play through it as well, and he can vouch for the quality here, lol. What more can I say?
