Glitch is the perfect game for 2020 and everything that will come after. It is a game about living in a world that is broken and wrong and simply wants you dead, and yet still finding ways to be okay (or even happy). It is also a game where you get to pop back up after being incinerated by a fireball and say "Aha! You simply incinerated a lifelike doll of me!"

Playing a strategist is a pleasure. These world-killing void-gods are suprisingly relatable and accessible, and to be honest there's room in the same game for someone dying of Empathy and Dying of Sandwiches.

Jenna Moran's diceless system makes it so you have nigh-unlimited power, but in a balanced and fun way. You won't be arguing semantics, but rather trying to brainstorm what, exactly, destroying the sun would do.

In addition, the quest system makes progressing something that creates a story in and of itself. You can get XP for staring into the distance or playing with a dog, if that's the kind of story you want to tell.

I beg anyone reading this to pick up Glitch. the writing alone got me through many weeks of legally mandated quarantine, and running it has never been anything but a pleasure.
