Astro Bot begs the question: Why can't every game be like Astro Bot? Everything about this game is a complete joy. I've gobbled up all the additional speed run levels as well as the special holiday level they added post-launch and I cannot get enough. Amazing controls and the use of the Dualshock's haptic feedback bullshit cannot be understated. No game has ever felt this good to play.
Honorable Mention: Penny's Big Breakaway. This was the game I had the second most fun with this year. It's not as polished as Astro Bot is of course (not many games are) especially being from an independent team but it's still a great game in its own right. Amazing OST as well - incredibly fitting music for a Sega-inspired platformer. Forever excited to see what Christian Whitehead and his team do next.
