A man of culture that acknowledges the superiority of Skyward Sword.

It was my GOTY till I got hit by awesomeness of System Shock.

 

[GHG]

I keep forgetting Lorelei. I’ll wait for a PSN release. Heard amazing things about it.

It's incredible. Played through it with my wife.

Still would have been great playing it by myself, but if you can play it with other people present in the room it really enhances the experience.

I played the whole campaign with bots and Operations with randos. If you chose to return to plus and jump in - hit me up I have about 25 000 xenos left to kill for the plat

 

[GHG]

Looking at this thread, I should really play granblue shouldn't I?

My top 10 so far:

• OPUS: Echo of Starsong - Full Bloom Edition - A

I cannot understate how incredible this game is with the voice acting added.

 

[acidagfc]

Sorted by enjoyment, not indicative of playtime or year of release.

0. Path of Exile (I play every league, so it does not really count, but it is my most played every year for like 10 years now)
1. Balatro
2. Persona 5 Royal (had to replay after P3R, it is a better game)
3. God of War 2018 (replaying at the moment, what a great game)
4. Hades II (did not play much, gonna wait for a full release, although it is already great)
5. Arkham City (had an itch for a Batman game, replayed 1 and 2, City is a better game)
6. Arkham Asylum
7. Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth
8. Persona 3 Reloaded
9. SMTVV (kinda dropped off in the second act, may come back later)


Balatro is my GOTY so far, which is very sad.

Alone in the Dark: The new Nightmare(I actually forgot that I played this, suffered memory loss due to seizure, checked my played games and this was among them for this year. 16hrs in, stuck at ridiculously hard boss fight)
R&C Size Matters (1hr in, funny loved this on psp when it first launched but yeah I feel like it didn't age well compared to the ps2 games)
Tekken 2( a classic that still plays surprisingly well, played some rounds against friends)

In no particular order(ASTRO BOT is my current GOTY, still want to try out Zelda before end of the year.)

1. Stellar Blade
2. Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

5. Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance

 

[HL3.exe]

Can't even reach 10

Still Wakes The Deep
Hunt Showdown
Gow Ragnarok PC
I Am Your Beast
Jedi Survivor PC (unfinished)

Tried some stuff here and there like Crows Country, but fell off quick, eventhough they look/play fine.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Great thread. Not sure I've hit 10 this year as I have had a great visit back to a couple of JRPGS

1. LAD Infinite Wealth
2. Astro Bot
3. Octopath Traveller II
4. Helldivers II
5. Space Marine 1
6. Hellblade II

I think that's it so far, I have such a pile of shame. Need to get to Black Myth Wukong, Space marine 2, Unicorn overlord and many, many more.

zenless zone zero

2 - Return to monkey island
3 - RE2 Remake
4 - Splatoon 3
5 - Sega Rally 2 (finally beat the arcade version)

[StueyDuck]

will list as many as i can that were truly interesting

HellDivers 2
Astrobot
FF7 rebirth
Animal Well
Balatro
Riven (i don't know if i count this considering it's a remaster)

As for games I've played that were ok, but not list worthy you could throw in Rise of the Ronin , space marine 2, honestly i struggle to remember if there even is anything else. It's all just a giant blob of the same stuff mostly for anything else I've played.

 

[Dafegamer]

Honestly mostly a dry year for me. Most games I had no interest in (Ronin, Stellar Blade etc) From what I've played of Helldivers 2 it was very fun, but I don't own it myself, will get once the new faction hits. The best games I've played this year released in the past, apart from Astro Bot. I have Plucky Squire installed but I'm thinking of deleting it for the moment to save some space for Silent Hill 2. The Games I was hyped about for years certainly didn't live up to the hype for me(Black Myth Wukong, I should've listen to the reviews giving it good not great reviews, I had way too high expectations) Also want to buy TLOZ Echoes of Wisdom before the year ends. Huge sucker for 2D Zelda so I doubt this will disappoint. One of the lesser years for me sadly

 

[TheStam]

1. Kingdom Come Deliverance - Why the hell didn't I give this a real chance sooner. Like a breath of fresh air playing an RPG in historical Central Europe without dragons or magic.
2. Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
3. 1000XRESIST
4. Octopath Traveller 2
5. Chrono Ark
6. Black Myth Wukong
7. Banishers Ghosts of Eden
8. Ghost of Tsushima
9. Slay the Princess
10. Balatro

 

[T4keD0wN]

1. Honkai Star Rail 2.0
2. Black Myth Wukong
3. Ghost of Tsushima PC
4. Jedi Survivor
5. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
6. Persona 3 Reload
7. GOW Ragnarok PC
8. Elden Ring DLC
9. Space Marine 2
10. Banishers

Havent finished a single indie game that has released this year with how packed it was so, still yet to finish Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and Nine Sols, both are pretty great, but Metaphor Refantazio will most likely claim the #1 spot for me if the demo is any indication.

Resident Evil 4 Remake
Deathloop
Returnal
Jedi Survivor
Diablo 2 Resurrected
