[Mattdaddy]

1 - Space Marine 2 (GOTY for me so far)
2 - FF7 Rebirth
3 - Helldivers 2
4 - Stellar Blade
5 - Witcher 3. Obligatory annual play-through (I play this game every year with mods and my god its so good every time. I fucking love this game. Probably shouldnt count since Ive played it 100 times but dont care)
6 - Dragons Dogma 2

Ive definitely played more than 10 games this year but those are the only ones that jump out as top tier for me.

Damn its hard to remember what I played this year vs last year. I wanted to add BG3, Rogue Trader, Alien Dark Descent, Robocop and FF16 on there. But those were all last year. Time all blends together when you get old lol.

 

[fart town usa]

Hmm, I'll try to keep it new games, or at least new to the platform I played it on.

Rise of the Ronin is #1. The rest would require too much thought to rank so I'll just list them.

Outcast: A New Beginning
Alone in the Dark
Legendary Tales (PSVR2)
Into the Radius (PSVR2)
Genotype (PSVR2)
Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore
Crow Country
FF7r: Rebirth
Soul Covenant (PSVR2)

[kungfuian]

Well I've only played 9 so far-
SOTN- 10/10
Ugly- 9/10 Fun Well Crafted Puzzle Platformer with interesting ideas
Bramble- 8/10 Very beautiful art/world although mechanically simple
Metroid Zero Mission- 10/10
Metroid Fusion- 9/10
Batbarian- 9.5/10 Surprisingly solid and meaty metroidvania with fun exploration and solid controls, played it with the lights on option because screw wandering around in the dark.
Aggelos- 8/10 Solid and fun metroidvania but lost some steam for me (a bit tedious) about the midway point.
Biogun- 9.5/10 This was a surprisingly well made metroidvania with great art, controls, combat, etc. Best with twin stick control set up.
Astrobot 9/10 Smooth if slightly easy/shallow gameplay enhanced by an incredibly beautiful world. I'd rank it somewhere just below Mario Galaxy 1 & 2

Yeah these are the games I should be playing on a 4090 rig with 64gigs of RAM, lol

 

[Crayon]

This is based on how much fun I had with them, affected by many things other than how recommendable they are. Also weighted with how much time I spent on them. Also, I didn't play many games this year. The top four were all time sinks.

1. Tekken8
2. FF7 Rebirth
3. BG3
4. Stellar Blade
5. Rayforce/layer section/whatever
6. Quake 2
7. NMS (VR)
8. Cotton 2
9. Amok
0. Crusader


And the worst game of the year goes to destruction derby 2.

 

[TheChumpNation]

1. Shadow of the Erdtree
2. Ghost of Tsushima
3. Diablo 4
4. Plague Tale: Innocence
5. Spiderman 2

only games I've finished this year

 

[dreamstation]

Can't really put them in order but some absolute stand outs were:

- Stellar Blade
- Helldivers 2
- Astro Bot
- SKALD: Against the Black Priory
- System Shock Remake
- Cyberpunk 2077
- No Man's Sky (played at release but haven't been back for several years)
- THE FINALS
- Last Epoch
- Nobody Wants to Die

 

[The Shepard]

I don't think i've even completed 10 games this year as they've all being long ass Jrpg's. All great though.

- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth (Best game of year)
- Like a Dragon infinite wealth
- Final Fantasy 6 pixel remaster (Best old school FF)
- Final Fantasy 5 pixel remaster
- Final Fantasy 4 pixel remaster

All on PlayStation Portal. Which has reignited my love of the Jrpg.

And I also replayed FF7 Remake and Yakuza LaD which are both excellent.

Think these are the only games I've completed this year. Not played anything really on switch and xbox.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Seems this topic pops up every month, here is my updated list, I always do a top 12, twelve months in a year after all:

1. Astrobot
2. Shadow of the Erdtree
3. FF VII Rebirth
4. Wukong
5. Unicorn Overlord
6. Helldivers 2
7. Darkest Dungeon 2
8. PoP: The Lost Crown
9. Space Marine 2
10. Rise of the Ronin
11. Kunitsu-Gami
12. Tekken 8

With Silent Hill 2 and Metaphor releasing next week I'm sure the list will be shaken up. Games like Stellar Blade, Infinite Wealth, Animal Well, Dragon's Dogma 2 and more didn't make the cut despite how much I enjoyed them, it's just a strong year if you actually love games.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

In order from most to least (best guess):

Destiny 2
Rocket League
Hades
Eleven Table Tennis
Into the Breach
Vampire Survivors
Warframe
Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: Siege
Elden Ring
Hades 2

Everything past Warframe is pretty light on time, like under 3 hours... but will put a lot of time into Hades 2 at some point since I finished all the achievements for the first game.

 

[CashPrizes]

My top 10 in order:
Persona 3 Reload
Unicorn Overlord
Helldivers 2
UFO 50
WoW: The War Within (best expac since Legion)
Space Marine II
Last of Us Part 2 Remastered (love the Roguelike mode, played that for like a month straight, did not beat the game again have already beaten it 2x)
Balatro
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Star Wars Outlaws (will be better in a few months with patches, still pretty good, and all the character models in the game are ugly, Kay is actually the most attractive person in the game, which I agree is bad lol)

I haven't played Astrobot yet, or the new Zelda game or ErdTree or FF7 Rebith

I honestly don't understand why people throw in games from other years. Doesn't add anything to the discussion.

 

[tommib]

I see Balatro a lot on the lists. I have it on my phone. Urgently need to try it.

 

[RPCGamer]

No order:

Broken Sword The Shadow of the Templars Reforged
HollowBody
Hobs Barrow
The Telwynium Book One, Two and Three
Perfect Tides
Five Nights at Freddy's: Into the Pit
Yakuza Infinitie Wealth
Sonic Frontiers
Penny’s Big Breakaway
