Quite an impressive list, for a single year. And here people dare complain that GOG doesn't release "good old games" any more.
R8V9F5A2: My definition of a 'classic' is quite generous and covers games up to 2010....or was it 2005 ? I don't remember...I've already had a few Christmas beers when I decided to do this thing...'yes' Christmas beer is a thing in Sweden.
I don't know where the line is exactly drawn but personally I don't see why any game released after 2010 (2005?) should warrant the title 'classic'.
Meh, old =/= good, so age is probably not the most defining characteristic of a true classic.
Anyhow, my favorite "old-school" game of this year might actually be Underrail. Yeah, yeah... I know. But if one didn't know the release year, it would be easy to mistake it for a re-released classic. Besides, I hear it's actually been in development since back in 2008, so I guess that does make it old... ish.
