League Overview:
Welcome to Year 7 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The OpenCritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2025. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Marvel's Wolverine and it gets pushed into 2025, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2024. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2025. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $100 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

League Overview:
Welcome to Year 7 of the GameTZ Fantasy Gaming League! This is basically fantasy football with games. Each person picks 10 games and those 10 games make up your "team" for the year. The OpenCritic scores for your 10 games are tallied up at the end of the year to determine your total. Highest overall score wins. You also get 2 alternate picks (these should be safe choices) just in case one of your picks gets delayed into 2025. So if you shoot for the moon with a game like Marvel's Wolverine and it gets pushed into 2025, one of your alternates takes its place and you don't end up with 0 points for that game. The goal is to pick games that you think have a very good chance of releasing in 2024. Don't YOLO your way into a bunch of 0s lol.
The Rules:
1. No DLC or Expansions
2. No Ports or Remasters (full remakes are allowed)
3. Alternate picks can only replace games delayed into 2025. They cannot be used to replace games in your top 10 that review poorly.
The Prizes:
1st Place: A $100 Amazon Gift Card
2nd Place: A $20 Amazon Gift Card
3rd Place: A $10 Amazon Gift Card

#161 Archer
I didn't even know there was a new contra game.
It looks decent. Surprised about the low scores. Looks like, based on the quick gameplay I just saw, very much what one would want from a modern contra.

Not sure if it’s on anyone’s list (thought I saw a few with it) but Contra is sitting at a 74 with 15 reviews I'm surprised at the lowish score. It looks pretty good from what I watched of it. Looks like a straightforward gunner (the gameplay I saw) so maybe reviewers are disappointed that the fomula wasn't tweaked, that it isn't all new mechanics/etc?
I think it deserves higher. It has a quality look to it, that work was put in, imo.

#163 PizzaTheHutt
That's disappointing. The score is even lower on Metacritic. It's from the same devs that did Contra 4 on DS in 2007, and that reviewed well.
It looks like the Switch version in particular is the worst way to play the game. Nintendo Life's review says to skip the Switch version and play it on Steam instead. But then the Steam reviews are not that much better, so this isn't a case of reviews of the Switch version dragging down the overall score of all versions.

We've got 4 pretty big games dropping in the next week and a half. Let's get those guesses in! Same rules as we had for Unicorn Overlord.
Alone in the Dark - 72
Dragon's Dogma 2 - 90
Princess Peach: Showtime - 74
Rise of the Ronin - 85
This was tough. I'm probably way too high on DD2. Really curious to see where everyone else lands.

Alone in the Dark - 69
Dragon's Dogma 2 - 87
Princess Peach: Showtime - 72
Rise of the Ronin - 83
I have no idea what to expect for Rise of the Ronin and Dragon's Dogma 2, as those are games I probably would never play anyway.
But last May I played the Prologue/demo of Alone in the Dark and really wasn't blown away by it (but it was only 10 minutes long), though they have had multiple delays to work on fixing things like the graphics, which looked kinda last-gen.
Princess Peach I've had little interest in since it was first shown, and impressions of YouTubers that have played the demo weren't good enough to change my mind, so I don't have high expectations for this one either. I actually can't decide if I want to swap the scores for AitD and Peach or leave them as is.
