20(21) Games You Should Have Played
🕑 Added 2021-12-30 14:48:20 +0000 UTC(Hi pals! this video has been uploading since yesterday evening and it's only just finished because my internet sucks AND youtube is having issues. Given the time-sensitive nature of the video and the holiday sale deals within, I'm going to put this one up at the usual time today - don't worry though, I've got a bumper-sized Architect Address in the pipeline to make up for this shoddy upload!)
It's the end of another year in videogaming and oh what a year it's been - regardless of how well your 2021 has gone, there's one thing we can agree on, that there's been a bunch of great videogames in the last 12 months.
Unfortunately, that also means that some otherwise great games have been overshadowed by bigger titles. Luckily, The Architect has spent the last 365 days rummaging through every last videogame released this year and has come up with a definitive list not of the best games of the year, but of the games you should've played... but probably didn't - as well as where best to buy them during the holiday sales. Buckle up! There's some real gems in here.

Great video, but I wish The Vale: Shadow of the Crown would have been included in it. As it is a very engaging sword fighting game that you can play without sight.

I saw the kickstarter back in the day and thought "yeah no way a game that looks this cool is ever coming out, pass." - now I feel like an idiot! And thank you!

Great video! Really delighted to see Genesis Noir in there. I was a Kickstarter backer for that game and it really blew me away--haven't heard many other folks playing it, so I'm glad it was able to get some attention! This really did feel like a uniquely all-over-the-place year for games, and I think your choices did a good job of representing that 😎 Thanks for your hard work this year! It's been a joy :3
