In a year jam-packed with big releases like Tears of the Kingdom, Baldur's Gate 3, and Spider-Man 2, which games came out on top?
These lists always feel so corporate, hard to take these as a true opinion from big sites like this.
Yes exactly! You can quickly tell it was just "the games that cost the most to make/hype/etc."
Two of my best friends played it a bit and said it was "good." They didn't provide details but said it was better than 3 (I f'ing hated that game, so generic and no strategy required).
Mixing Dark Souls-like gameplay with the Star Wars universe sounds good on paper
lol what? It doesn't hold a candle mechanically to dark souls. It's way less consistent and way less polished.
TL;DR
12 - Resident Evil 4 remake
11 - Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
10 - Dave the Diver
9 - Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
8 - Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
7 - Diablo IV
6 - Super Mario Bros. Wonder
5 - Armored Core VI
4 - Street Fighter 6
3 - Baldur’s Gate 3
2 - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
1 - Alan Wake II
I'm having a great time playing "The Planet Crafter" over the last month, my favorite game I've played this year.
