But now I like the relatively slow pace, the character design and the tweeness. I don't think I had the patience for it then. Ssuellid said: "This bored the crap out of me on its first release. Stacked alongside its modern descendants, like the less interesting but equally commercially-challenged Enslaved, its pioneering qualities are plain to see." Beyond Good & Evil is still a wildly ambitious game, often beautifully constructed and with its own distinct personality. What we said: "Can a game so shrouded in cult praise deliver so long after the fact? Surprisingly, yes. Since Counter-Strike has no game destroyed my life like this."Ĥ8. Plenty to see and do, bosses to fight, dungeons to explore, ores to be dug, homes to be built, floating islands to discover, armour to forge, the list just goes on and the most recent update adds even more!"ĭr Strangelove said: "Minecraft meets Metroid meets Zelda in never-ending wonderful 16-bit realms. Heitzu said: "A brilliant game, especially if you have someone to go adventuring in your generated world with. Mkreku said: "Little masterpiece! No apparent story, nothing to drive you onwards and no manual that tells you what you can do. Mrpsb said: "Single-player Terraria beats the pants off single-player Minecraft, and has been delivered in a fraction of the time." They're having far too much fun on the surface, and the spaces in between." It's because, if Terraria really does have a bottom, no one can be bothered to go find it. What we said: "There's a reason Terraria has sold a few hundred thousand copies in the first few months it's been on sale. "Single-player Terraria beats the pants off single-player Minecraft." A unique game with a twisted humour and a classical SNES gameplay with a 'let's try one more time' factor that makes it impossible to stop playing it." ![]() Neuroniky said: "I bought this on the day Skyrim released, and I spent the night playing it instead of the latter. ![]() You either love or hate the art style, dark humour and overall themes of the game, but even if you're the most religious person in the world you wouldn't deny this game is downright fun." That's some wicked game design right there. I was surprised, however, at the amount of different items and how each and every one of them served a purpose without killing the balance of the entire game. It sounded so much fun so I wasn't surprised when it indeed turned out to be a lot of fun. Indy said: " Edmund McMillen convinced me to buy this game simply by explaining the concept on his wonderful blog. It proves that there's more than one way to make a masterpiece." Yet this game is nearly as much fun as Super Meat Boy, and more profound. With Binding, McMillen and Himsl created the rules of the world and then set it in motion. In other words, he was a total control freak. That was a painstaking, pixel-perfect work - some seriously Old Testament, Miyamoto-esque stuff.

One last thing - while the consensus around the game at the top of the list was huge, so it can reasonably be termed the Eurogamer Readers Game of the Year 2011, it's worth remembering that lists are just a bit of fun, and that at this merry time of year it is not worth getting hot and bothered about whether one game is definitively superior to another. The comments we did include are a snapshot of the range of views expressed. We did read all of them while compiling the list, and it was fascinating to see where you agreed and disagreed on the games included. This year we had our largest ever response and we also received far more comments than before - and far more than we have been able to use here, so apologies if you submitted something that we weren't able to use. We take your top-five lists and scientifically jumble them all together to create the Eurogamer Readers' Top 50 Games, and then publish it all in one go along with a selection of your comments. Traditionally though we leave it to you to bring order to the chaos of the year just ended by voting for your top games and giving us your reasons. As you've probably spotted, we've spent the last week since we broke up for Christmas publishing personal accounts of some of our favourite games of the last 12 months, and we've also named our overall Game of the Year for 2011: Valve's wonderful Portal 2.
