1: Metroid Prime Remaster
2: Final Fantasy XVI
3: Armored Core 6
4: Scorn (PS5)
5: Alan Wake 2
6: Quake 2 (PS5)
7. Dead Space
8: Star Wars: Jedi Survivor
9: PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo
10: Resident Evil 4: Remake

[vaibhavpisal]

Quake 2 in top 10 LMAO.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Heres my top 5:

1. Spider-man 2 (despite all the woke shit, I loved the main story)
2. Resident Evil 4 (amazing remake, excited to replay it already with its dlc).
3. Phantom Liberty (pretty much reconfirmed that CDPR are kings in storytelling/atmosphere/characters)
4. Baldurs Gate 3 (I didnt like the gameplay that much which is why its lower, but the story choices are the best there is)
5. Reserved for either Alan Wake 2/Talos Principles 2/Remnant 2/Lords of the Fallen that I have yet to play/finish until the year ends.

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Have to try The Dredge. It’s horror-ish right?

It does have some horror undertones due to its unsettling atmosphere, but other than that it's quite a cozy experience I would say without any kind of jump scares. Def recommend it if you have some free time to sink into it.

 

[Con_Z_ǝdʇ]

System Shock Remake. Many great games this year to choose from and hard to point to this given that it's actually a nearly 30 year old game on its base. But it had the biggest and most lasting impression on me.

 

[Chukhopops]

1. Alan Wake 2
2. Starfield
3. Endless Dungeon
4. Atelier Ryza 3
5. TotK

Still haven’t played BG3 which should top TotK.

 

[struggler_guts]

Baldurs Gate 3
BALDURS GATE 3
BALDURS GATE 3

 

[Godot25]

TOP 4 (I'm considering some games for 5th spot)

1. Alan Wake 2
2. Hi-Fi Rush
3. Cocoon
4. Jusant

 

[SCB3]

1. Tears of the Kingdom
2. Alan Wake 2
3. Spiderman 2
4. Baldurs Gate 3
5. Lies of P
6. Starfield
7. Mario Wonder
8. Jedi Survivor
9. RE4 Remake and Ada DLC
10. Street Fighter 6

It's been a fantastic year for games and could easily do a top 20, entries 3-9 are pretty interchangeable for me in my list

 

[tommib]

TOP 4 (I'm considering some games for 5th spot)

1. Alan Wake 2
2. Hi-Fi Rush
3. Cocoon
4. Jusant

I really want to play cocoon and jusant. Just too much on my plate at the moment. I’m sure they’re fantastic.

 

[Warnen]

2. Resident Evil 4
3. Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty
4. Returnal (PC)
5. Dead Space

I should buy a 5K PC just do play Returnal from scratch at max fidelity.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Did you play the new campaign it comes with? Best FPS shit in years, man.

Quake 2 rtx comes with a new campaign? wtf, how long is it?

 

[Hugare]

1. Baldurs Gate 3
2. Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty
3. Alan Wake 2

Many good games this year, but few that were really great in my opinion.

 

[Chukhopops]

Ryza 3 is massively underrated and TotK is full of flaws I will not derail the thread with.

 

[Fess]

Too soon, it’s only november…

My current GOTY is Starfield.
Zelda TOTK is number 2.
But I’ll decide for real in january when the year has ended.

 

[ungalo]

my GOTY would be Phantom Liberty if it was a game, but so far i don't have a real GOTY, even the first two were disappointing and don't deserve GOTY in my opinion


Top 10 games i played, in fact it's pretty much all the games i played this year, ranked, the last three are here by default they are really average :

1) Starfield
2) Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
3) Alan Wake 2
4) Hi-Fi Rush
5) Cocoon
6) Atomic Heart
7) Yakuza Ishin (if that counts)
8) Wo Long
9) Lies of P
10) Sea of Stars

only Wild Hearts can't fit, worst game i played this year, and Forza but i barely played

games that i didn't play yet and want to play : mainly Armored Core 6, Baldur's Gate 3, Final Fantasy XVI, Remnant 2

 

[acm2000]

Alan Wake 2

cant be arsed to do places for the other 9 but it include in no particular order: Phantom Liberty, Starfield, HiFi Rush, & Atomic Heart.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Top 10 games I’ve played this year.

Super Mario Wonder
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Evil West
Diablo 4
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Last of Us Part 1 PC
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Campaign
Kena Bridge of Spirits
Spiderman Remastered PC
Warhammer Inquisitor Martyr Edition

 

[NeverYouMind]

1. Lies of P
An atmospheric Bloodborne clone set in a dystopian reimagining of the tale of Pinocchio. Its a surprisingly competent action game with higher quality production values than the game that inspired it and interesting implementations of original mechanics. Can't wait for DLC.

2. Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin (PC)
By far the best Action RPG mechanically that I have ever played. It released last year for consoles, but wasn't ported to PC until this year. It realizes the potential of what Final Fantasy titles have been aiming to become since Final Fantasy XII. It is also a great remake of the game that started the franchise.

3. Resident Evil 4 Remake (No DLC Garbage and Ada voice modded out)
A remake that sometimes misses the mark for presentation, but succeeds in delivering better designed levels, more in-depth gameplay mechanics, and a more polished experience.

4. Hi-Fi Rush
A fun hack and slash with a Saturday morning cartoon plot, style, and cast. Its high energy presentation reminds me of playing No More Heroes for the first time. Fortunately, it comes equiped with more advanced and polished gameplay mechanics.

5. Hogwarts Legacy
An unexpectedly successful release with high quality production values, decent plot, and interesting characters. It offers a fun trip back to the castle in a different time period while expanding on other aspects of the wizarding world.

 

[Punished Miku]

Top 10 games I’ve played this year.

Super Mario Wonder
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Evil West
Diablo 4
Guardians of the Galaxy
The Last of Us Part 1 PC
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Campaign
Kena Bridge of Spirits
Spiderman Remastered PC
Warhammer Inquisitor Martyr Edition

I keep pushing back Evil West. Been sitting on my hard drive for too long.

 

[John Bilbo]

In no particular order:

Remnant II
Tears of the Kingdom
Armored Core VI
Sifu (Steam release)
Lies of P
Counter-Strike 2
HoloCure - Save the Fans!
Lunacid
Super Mario Wonder
F-zero 99

 

[Zug]

BG3 is the most interesting thing released this year imo.
The other big contenders are either remake/remasters or another iteration of something.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I keep pushing back Evil West. Been sitting on my hard drive for too long.

It took me a few stages to warm up to it, but once you’ve unlocked more of the combat abilities it really picks up.

It’s one of the those games where I felt so badass by the end that I jumped right into New Game Plus to wreck monsters right off the bat.

 

[poodaddy]

I don't think I've beaten ten titles this year.

For my personal tastes, I suppose Tears of the Kingdom would be number 1.
2 is Metroid Prime
3 is Starfield,

4 is RE 4
5 is Spider-Man 2.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Did you play the new campaign it comes with? Best FPS shit in years, man.

The new Quake 1 campaign was worth the price alone so thanks for the reminder.

 

[Guilty_AI]

Great games overall, many i still need to play or finish. But this is still the most fun i've had this year.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I really have mainly been catching up on the past few years' games I missed so I didn't play much new shit this year.

My favorites released this year would be:

Dead Space Remake
Stasis: Bone Totem

I wanted to worship RE4 Remake because I like most other changes but my body is just allergic to the dreadful game feel in the past few Resi games.

 

[poodaddy]

Great games overall, many i still need to play or finish. But this is still the most fun i've had this year.

I really need to play this. This is exactly my jam.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Hi-Fi Rush

 

[Chuck Berry]

Top 5 (no particular order)

1. Hogwarts Legacy
2. RoboCop Rogue City
3. RE4R
4. Starfield
5. Jedi Survivor

Have to finish Wonder and then Mario RPG is next week so my list is still fair game

And I still need to give BG3 a shot

And I still need to finish Atomic Heart. And FF16.

This year really sucked for videogames.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I really need to play this. This is exactly my jam.

Same. Another A+ reminder post.

 

[mrmustard]

Zelda
Mario
Starfield
Diablo
Harry Potter

 

[tommib]

Hi-Fi Rush

I so want to play this but no Xbox at home anymore. Waiting for a better Steam Deck to be released and will buy it on Steam.

I tried with this game. Played it for two hours and I kind of don't get it. I was baffled by how clunky it feels coming from Arkane devs. I also can't help comparing it to Desperados III which was a 10/10 for me, phenomenal game.

Am I just approaching it wrong you think? I WANT to like this game but couldn't wrap my head around the bizarre camera and clunky-ass combat.

Evil West is different from Weird West.

FYI, Shadow Gambit came out this year from the Desperado devs.

 

[FunkMiller]

ToTK still head and shoulders above everything else for me. 175 blissful hours with that game.
