Woodling Gameblogging Award Nominees 2021

We try to do the gameblogging awards in December; they're part of our year-end wrap-up. However, this year, a dead coyote and an even deader mental state (which I haven't gotten around to writing about yet, appropriately enough) led to that slipping. So, uh, here we are with some belated 2021 game nominees.

2021 by the numbers: 24 games completed, 1 game abandoned, and 1 ongoing, for a total of 26 gameblogging entries. This narrowly edges out 2017 (the first year we ever did this, in which we had 29) as the lowest amount of entries in the history of us doing game writeups. You would think that losing my job and getting waylaid with the kind of ADHD and executive function struggles that left me practically bedridden for months on end would have led to playing more video games, because what else was I doing all day? But, uh, apparently not.

Some of these categories are bare enough that we may as well not have them, while others still managed to have a lot of great games in contention for a highly competitive award. Which ones are which? I guess you'll have to keep reading to find out.

( Onward, at last? )
