Your mention of Miranda Priestly in the Entrancing Villains Montage has earned you my respect forever.
One really good game that's getting a switch port is Omori. It's really good, cute, and sad. You'll love it.
Deaths Door is so fluid and stylish that I get giddy every time I see it.
Thanks for the amazing work, Dan! I wishlisted at least 5 games from this video.
wooow i never heard of 90% of these, they look so good.
Great
Someday I would LOVE to see you talk about animation in Vanillaware like 13 Sentinels, Odin Sphere and Muramasa.
Kena was the best thing I played in 2021 along with Nier Replicant. Such a beautiful experience.
You got me with the spider, I was watching this and I saw the skateboard, and I was just like, "it's riding a skateboard!!!" despite it being 6 am
14:19 that mocap hat is the best thing I have ever seen.
Lovely video
A clip of everhood was shown for 2 seconds that means I can recommend it again
Trippiest and one of the most creative games I’ve ever played
ppppLAY IT!!
My recommendation is Ender Lilies, the art style and music is really beautiful.
5:58 five night's at Freddy's
Rivet's design is just shockingly more appealing than Ratchet's with just a few tweaks.
I appreciate the kudos to Mark Brown. I saw this video and thought oh another gmtk video. Awesome breakdown!
Say no more’s animation is just the “fairy god parents” screaming sequence over and over
"It Takes Two".
Biggest miss in 2021 for you, mate!
I am surprised It Takes Two doesn't come up
Glad to see it get a mention, I absolutely love Guilty Gear Strives animation.
I wouldn't even remotely consider Lady D's performance particularly memorable or "electrifying". Maggie Robertson did a fine job, but it's honestly nothing special outside of maybe the animation/craftmanship that went into it. Certainly not on the level of an all-time great movie performance. She was popular thanks to meme culture obsessing over her design.
And I say that as someone who had RE Village as maybe their game of the year, and someone who didn't join the Lady D hype train, despite being otherwise very excited about the game, and thus wasn't disappointed by how relatively little presence she actually had.
I discovered your channel with the ArcSystem Works video, so it was nice to see Strive mentioned at the top. Haha.
the amount of games i had no idea existed made me realize how man gems i missed from last year. man! i have to check these out. can always trust you to showcase some incredible game animation with these videos.
17:12 did you just read my mind???
When I stop and look at it, I just remember how good strive looks.
This is undoubtedly one of my favorite channels.
Educational , entertaining it has it all
The one game I am surprised didn't make the mention cut for Pixel category was Unsighted. From Pixel cutscenes that lend a lot with a little, to limited-frame animations that convey a great sense of weight without breaking screen-refresh timing it does a lot of really cool stuff. On top of being a really really really good game.
Would be awesome to see you cover Asura's Wrath some day. A very underrated gem full of awesome hard hitting and sincere animation moments.
Amazing see Dodgeball Academia appearing in this list!
Such a beautiful game!
