Well, against all odds, we made it all the way to 2019, and what better way to kick off the year with the right goal-achieving attitude than… making a list! (A lot of us are planner nerds and it shows.)
But player, do not worry—this isn’t a “spend all my money on games” challenge. Tabletop, mobile, and free-to-play games absolutely count, and there’s a wealth of inexpensive or even free indie games you can support on Steam, itch.io, Humble Bundle… you name it.

At Sidequest, we have a flexible staff of some 40 contributors. Publishing a Game of the Year list for each of us is simply unfeasible, and there’s always a lot of overlap. Instead of giving you another (late, even!) list of the top ten games we played this year and why, we decided to turn it over to someone else.

The Sims 4 has been out for almost three years now, and I’ve been playing it almost since launch.
