Age of Decadence by far. It's the best cRPG since Fallout 1 and it ***** on Underrail.

This is a real sad state of affairs when half of the games listed are in beta. The top game has been in beta for 2 years. Maybe the award should have been beta of the year?

This whole buying early access and leaving the game there is garbage. I'm ready for a sea change.
