To make sure the best games don't get overlooked, every few months I'm going back through and picking out my personal favourites. Here are six of them. (Games featured: Mibibli's Quest, Critters for Sale, Small Saga, Knuckle Sandwich, Backbone, Supraland)

We end Season 1 with just another day at the office: functional programming, illogical animals, and really needing to take a nap. (Games featured: Yet Another Exhausting Day, Operation E.C.H.O., (Composition), Glitch Pets, Orange Island, Slime Research)

This episode focuses on older games. As in "already out". Look, always talking about upcoming games messes with your sense of time. (Games featured: Ascent: Crash Landing, The Subject, In Space No-one Can Hear You Jump, Gorescript, Lemma, Wand Wars)

"The bends" occurs when you quickly go from extremes of elevation. And with underwater exploration and mountaintop adventure, this episode certainly qualifies. (Games featured: Verlet Swing, Emergence, Izel's Observatory, Ribbiting Saga, Skybolt Zack, The Mystery of Woolley Mountain)

Words are good. I use them a lot. So here are some games that are about words and communication, and some games that very much aren't. (Games featured: The Word is Not the Thing, Lab Assistant, Bird By Example, Small Saga, Spiralagon, Judged For Crime)

Is there anything more important than water, in all its forms? Maybe air. Hard to say. Water's definitely in the top two, though. (Games featured: Water's Fine, Mibibli's Quest, WaveCrash!!, Ada, Overflow, Mist Hunter)

Is magic real? That question is not addressed at all in this episode. But we do address things that are close to magic, and that's close enough. (Games featured: Critters for Sale, Out of the Hat, Brownie Cove Cancelled, Cavern of Illusions, Gray Dawn, Alchemist's Mountain)

For this episode, we're going underground. And then above the ground. And then on the ground, but that ground's above other ground... it's all confusing. (Games featured: Mineralph, Down the Well, Timothy and the Tower of Mu, Phaeria's Mine, Unbound: Worlds Apart, Some Assembly Required)

Naturally, a good game requires good gameplay. But the best games also offer interesting and compelling narrative experiences. (Games featured: How Do You Know Mr. Blue?, Tennis Story, Genesis Noir, Fumiko!, Silent Night, Heaven's Vault)

Ludum Dare is one of the world's largest game jams. In this episode, we look at six games from Ludum Dare 44: Your Life is Currency. (Games featured: 99 Hearts, Hydrate and Annihilate, Batclash, Bloodletter, Drytown, Escape from Hell)
