Earlier, PC Gamer nominated Unexplored for Best Strategy Game of the Year, a category ultimately won by Total War: Warhammer II. The praise from the world's biggest PC games publication didn't stop there: to our surprise, Unexplored was one of the 'Personal Picks', described by PC Gamer as follows:
Alongside our team-selected 2017 Game of the Year awards, each member of the PC Gamer team gets to champion one favorite from the year.
Writer Wes Fenlon choose Unexplored as 'his champion'. He writes:
Unexplored doesn't try to do everything classic roguelikes do, but it channels their spirit into clever new ideas and offers much of their depth in an intuitive new interface. It's almost certainly the best game of 2017 you haven't heard of, and if NetHack's 30 year lifespan is any indication, it'll still be great a decade from now.
Thank you, Mr. Fenlon, we're deeply honoured!
