I guess it's because it's a DLC, not a standalone game

Rename this thread as "Worst casual game of 2019" and it's fixed.

Yes, and keep the current vote numbers.

It is an autistic list,also a chore to go trough. It lacks order and it is filled with a lot of garbage. The actually upcoming games and the ones that maybe come someday in the future are all mixed. Still kudos for doing the job Abu Antar

Competition seems rather weak. I should probably try Disco sometime, but I was never into adventure games.
Planescape Torment had simplistic but flashy combat at least and you could become lovely overpowered there.
TOW failed badly at the itemization. Mechanics/development could be more interesting/less generic also.
So my vote goes to The Surge 2.

You people who didn't play the game but goes on with OH THIS IS SO WEEZUAL NOVIL are worse than anti-vaccination activists. Just fucking try the game.
It is narrative-centered RPG without combat where you have funny and creepy voices in your head instead of party companions.

I must be entering my boomer phase, 'cause I haven't heard of, let alone played, most of those games.
ah yes because there's certainly nothing hipster about a reddit-tier political gommentary VN larping as an RPG.
What hipster, stupid millenial, its 2019.

Disco Elysium easily. There are points I'd grumble about it, but that's true of all full storyfag RPGs. PST and Arcanum set my teeth on edge when I play 'em a lot more than Disco for example. Some of the most enjoyable writing I've seen in a game in ages and lots of memorable characters and moments.
Rest of the list that I've played:
Outer Worlds, watered down FNV. It's not bad (Except for the tons of Fedex. So much fucking Fedex) to play but it didn't feel all that fun to explore or fuck around in. Did the first quest hub or two and then beelined the main story to get it over with.
Operencia the Stolen Sun, enjoyable dungeon crawling. Drags on a little longer than it probably should (You reach a definite point in your power where you peak and then you basically tread water for a few hours more) and it isn't as creative later on as it was in the beginning with the underwater castle, but it's nice. Not as intricate as Grimrock, but nice. Probably would be RPGotY for me if not for Disco.
Stygian Reign of the Old Ones, somehow a combination of too great of a scope for the developer to handle and too trimmed down to be manageable. Combat's basically a drag, but the setting and some of the moments are pretty cool. Still not really an ideal Lovecraft RPG, not even pulp "Gunning down shoggoths" Lovecraft.

There's no actual competition with Disco, but Druidstone was a positive surprise this year. Spent surprising amount of time with that.
I also really liked Greedfall and would have voted it as my #2 RPG of the year, easy, right after DE.
Actually, I played two similarly mediocre if competent games in October, but in case of Greedfall I still want to support the game with nice word and money but TOW... provokes nothing but (probably) unwarranted and illogical hostility that I still could not explain even to myself.

Yes, unwarrented and illogical hostility seems like a fair assessment of the emotional response of the Codex towards TOW.
I'm playing the game at the moment. Sure, it's not New Vegas reborn. The game is unoffensively mediocre, quite pleasant most of the times (companions, certain npcs, amount of reactivity one or two quests). Easily forgettable. Shouldn't really provoke such a strong and hostile reaction.

It is a hostility in response to the disappointment that many people felt. It is game made by Cain and Boyarski,some people got hyped and expected a good game from those two. The game is mainly boring and forgettable at best. Also Disco faces a lot more bitchtalking in the codex than TOW. Fucking having anthem having more votes than TOW just shows how forgettable is.

I just saw Legends of Amberland, a one man project, is closing in on The Outer Worlds. Wow.
I mean, I understand the dissapointment in Cainarsky. People expexlcted something brilliant but got something okayish. But the intensity... I thought that by this time the Codex should be used to getting only dissapointment from the great ones of old.

Legends of Amberland is also a rather good game.
