Quite possibly the biggest misstep by Nintendo with the Switch so far. Regardless of the rumours, whoever thought that releasing a new premium model with little to no improvements for people who play docked was a good idea?

Ah, no one else voted for BPM: Bullets Per Minute.

As someone who's not super keen on Rogue-likes, I adore this game.

I feel like the trailer sells what the game is really darn well.

It's coming to consoles this year! Don't skip it!

Ghost of Tsushima was absolutely my favourite game of the year. I played it on my PS5 with high frame rate.

The highlight for me was the setting, the quests, and the combat and stealth gameplay. The world was absolutely beautiful to explore, with countless locations that are painstakingly crafted to look like a sacred samurai battleground, or a tranquil spot for meditation.

The combat is just stupid fun.

The story had something to say and it covered the topic in the best way I've seen so far.

Only issue is that the open world collectibles/minor quests were a bit old fashioned. However, they were adorned with so much set dressing and theming that I was happy to keep doing them.

Also, it seems a little silly but the shape of the open world leaves something to be desired, as it feels less like exploration and more like working your way down a queue. Breath of the Wild starting you in the middle of the open world was no accident. However, I understand it's based on real events in a real place, and the structure does have its own strengths, such as a strong sense of progression.

I haven't touched Legends mode and don't really plan to. But what a great add-on to what is already a pretty chunky game.

I've played a few hours of Hades so far. The furthest I've gotten is Elysium. Rogue-Likes aren't really my jam so I find it a little hard to stay committed (I've started playing FF7 Original now) but I really like how quickly and easily you start to improve your character.

Honestly I'm not grabbed by the story at all and I'm here mainly for the gameplay, but the graphical style is great :)

Replaced and Redfall were my highlights. I was a little disappointed by BF2042 but...

They needed to show a vertical slice of Hellblade 2. It's been nearly 2 years since it was announced.

@jdincinerator Wrong thread pal.

Personally, I think Miles has the same issue as Resident Evil 3. It’s very short considering the price, and there’s not a lot of content to play. I got the platinum extremely quickly.

I love the way they’ve magically transformed the city in key places, like Harlem other places.

I also love the effort made to make Miles feel separate to Peter. From the animations to the character to the costumes.

My biggest criticism is that this game feels like it’s not necessarily trying to tell a good story. The purpose of the game feels like it exists purely to get Miles to a certain point ready for the eventual Spiderman 2.

It doesn’t make it bad by itself, but I can’t help but think this game would have been more at home as the Act 1 of the true sequel.

Well, that's my name there at number 2 with @Sheria .

I've never played the original and don't plan to. I fell in love with Jill's portrayal in this game. I loved the action pace. I really enjoyed the bossfights and the set pieces. The finale is fan-fucking-tastic.

There's much less content than 2, but I had a blast playing this game over and over. It was really fun to earn the money to unlock the various bonuses like defense coins, weapons, etc. And then the increased difficulties was a really welcome addition that was borrowed from RE7. Being able to replay the game in a harder difficulty with remixed enemies and item locations was basically like playing the game fresh again.

The biggest issue was the price. I think RE3 was worth the price if you literally played everything the game had to offer. It didn't feel like good value for money.

However, now we're over a year later? I recommend it to absolutely everyone. A rollercoaster ride of a game from start to finish.

Good game. I loved walking round a dark corner just to find some deep cut reference. My favourite was the Days Gone motorcycle.

The first 6-10 hours of Cyberpunk 2077 are magical. And then the cracks start to show.

Night City as a play space is not the world that was promised in Trailers. There's more fun to be had in Grand Theft Auto 4 in terms of open world activities.

Chromanticore is an abomination. It's transphobic as hell given the almost complete lack of trans representation outside of the advert and a blight on an otherwise decent game.

The biggest problem with Cyberpunk is that they spent so long trying to make it work that they ran out of time to make it as good as it could be.

But, the Main Quest is absolutely incredible and I shall almost certainly play it again at some point. The missions were straight out of Grand Theft Auto 6 in terms of design and structure. The writing was great and the plot was fascinating. I was deeply moved by the end. Which is why I think it at least deserved an honourable mention.
