MODERATORS
Throughout the year I played:
-Secret of Mana (haven't played in 15 years or so. Game still holds up)
-Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (and the Torna DLC). The main story is fantastic. A bit quantity of quality with all the Blades.
-The Legend of Zelda: TOTK. This game is great. Ultra hand blows this game wide open
-Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Finish this one up now and about to start the DLC. Story IMO is the poorest of the 3 games. But they took the best of the first two game's battle mechanics and improved that system.
Probably XC2. It was a lot of fun.
Chants of Sennaar. Thought it would fun, turned out to be probably my favourite thing I played this year.
BG3, TOTK, and Vampire Survivors are all very up there as well. Really great year for games.
Hard to pick. I would say my favorite new game is Slay the Princess. My favorite game I've returned to, and I returned to a lot this year, is Deep Rock Galactic. Rock and stone, brother.
Vampire Survivors completely drew me in this year.
A couple of years ago, I was having dreams of designing train lines in Cities Skylines. A couple of days ago I was having a dream of weapon combos in Vampire Survivors. That's how you spot a good and influential game.
The Forest and Sons of the forest. Haven't been happier playing this - unique as hell and gave me similar vibes as Subnautica. :)
I put about 300 hours into No Man's Sky this year.
Lingo. It tickles my brain in wonderful ways. I'm currently working through the custom level Liduongo, sequel to an earlier map named Duolingo, and I continue to be surprised, delighted, and utterly perplexed.
It's a rules-based puzzler that doesn't tell you the rules buried in a confusing labyrinth. The only downside is that it requires a strong grasp of English, limiting its audience.
Kerbal Space Program! Sunk 20 hours into that one over the last two days alone!
Well Tears of the Kingdom ate up about 4 months of the year for me. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was a game I had been waiting 20 years to play. So that was really nice. I just wish there was more of it to be honest haha.
Resident evil 4 remake and Bloodborne were my next favorites.
There's been a lot of great games this year, but BG3 just barely beats the competition for me. Alan Wake 2, TOTK, Hi-fi Rush, and Lethal Company have all been great experiences as well though.
Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed
I'm a huge fan of the series and this is one of the best entries, even though it's a DLC campaign.
Awesome. Finishing up XC3 (at about 175 hours). Plan to start FR sometime next month.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales got its Steam release in November of last year, but I didn’t get to it until after New Years. The Steam Deck handled it really well, which just makes me pissed that Insomniac signed a PlayStation exclusivity agreement for Spider-Man 2.
Really enjoyed valheim. Not sure it was my fave but really enjoyable. A game I can just keep going back to.
Perfect Tides.
Baulders gate 3 for sure. I mean in a few months it's already more than half the hours of my most played game. I love the characters and the way I can effect the outcome of different events, and I love exploring it all again with different character combos.
Y'all gotta play The Finals. It's so much fuckin fun. I'd honestly been pretty bored with games until recently when it was released

Resident Evil 4 Remake
Guild Wars 2
It's close between Baldurs Gate 3 and Nioh 2.
BG3 is just that good, but Nioh 2 is one of my all time favorites, and I finally cleared everything in the game, early 2023.
Crusader Kings III. I‘m scared to turn it on by now cause it always makes days disappear for me.
