With such a shallow week of release due, in part, to the United States holiday I wondered if it's even fair to have a GOTW poll. However, last year there was a poll and EchoSeven indicated he wouldn't be able to host this week so I assume it's fair game. I'll add new/overlooked games to the original post as nominations come in. If anyone in the community has any ideas how to handle the odd holiday slump with releases please post for consideration of all.
Please add the sadly ignored The Sorcerer's Stone, one of the best match-3 variations I've played in a while. Takes a couple minutes to get into with a not-so-great tutorial, but once I did I was hooked. Noms: LIMBO The Sorcerer's Stone Greedy Dwarf
It looks like The Sorcerer's Stone was released on 06/13/13 so is not eligible for current GOTW consideration. Am I overlooking something? Was it quickly pulled and re-released?
Nope. People were just not aware of its existence until it went on sale and Sanuku posted a video of it. Like I said, it's been out for a while now.
Well, that sucks. Thanks for being late Sanuku! Just kidding. I appreciate all the work he does with videos, etc. Ashame no one noticed it the week of release, it's a great game. But there's probably thousands of games, some of which are hidden gems, that we miss.
LIMBO game Winner Greedy Dwarf Runner Up SmashnBash Honorable Mention(s) The more I play Ninja Gaiga,the more I realize the controls need work (the jump button sticks) causing a ton of unnecessary deaths-Im removing it from my honorable mention list and the game is over priced.
