The Lists
The Keeper has opinions about lists. They impose a false order on fundamentally unrankable things. They invite argument. They are, in short, irresistible — and the archive now holds twelve of them.
Daniel’s (@dungeondive) ranking compulsion spans years and categories. The annual anticipation lists for 2019 and 2020 capture the optimism of a collector who hasn’t yet learned what delays and disappointments await. The dungeon crawl rankings (part one, part two) and adventure game countdowns (part one, part two) attempt the impossible task of ordering the genre’s finest. DungeonQuest earns its own dedicated review on the strength of a 15% survival rate and sheer elegance. And for those who think Daniel only stacks cardboard, his top 10 horror books proves the rot goes deeper than the table.
Elsewhere: the top 10 “normie” games for people who haven’t yet fallen down the hole, Tom Cohen’s curated list offering a second opinion, the top 10 solo RPG things for the happily antisocial, and Forgotten Depths — a solo dungeon crawl that earned its way onto the list by sheer ingenuity.
The Rankings:
- Top 10 Games I’m Looking Forward to in 2019
