Honorable Mention #2: Game Center CX 1+2 Replay - An amazing tribute to the experience of being a gamer in the 80s and 90s, and one that I enjoyed even more than UFO 50. I wish I could put it higher, but the lack of an English translation makes it a bit hard to recommend to the average player. - ThreadSky

Honorable Mention #1: Nintendo Switch Online Playtest Program - I'm not even allowed to say why this is on here, but suffice to say it's going to have a lot of people hooked when it comes out for real. Such an obtuse, weird, and fascinating game. And now, for the real Top 10:

#10: Brighter Shores - The creator of RuneScape returns with another surprisingly addictive "second-screen MMO", and I'm not usually an MMO guy. While it's still in early access, the frequent updates show this has the potential to be something really great.

#9: Helldivers 2 - D3 has repeatedly tried and failed to create a westernized take on Earth Defense Force, only for Arrowhead to nail it on the first try. Fighting massive hordes of monstrous bugs and killer robots has never felt this cinematic yet hilarious. An instant classic.

#8: Palworld - All controversies aside, Palworld does a remarkable job of bringing a sense of wonder and freedom back to the monster taming genre that I haven't felt since the Game Boy. The fact that blowing away cute critters with AR-15s is really funny helps too.

#7: Pokemon TCG Pocket - Every time I try to get back into the traditional Pokemon TCG I'm immediately turned off by how complex and Yugioh-like it's become, but Pocket does a wonderful job of dumbing the mechanics down while retaining a ton of depth. Great for those who just want to collect too.

#6: Zenless Zone Zero - It feels insane that a game with such immaculate vibes and production values is free to play, but I suppose that's to be expected from MiHoYo. I tapped out after a few updates because it's just hard for me to stay addicted to a gacha, but what a time it was.
