A series I'd like to get invested in, but never find the time to play all the games. Hopefully I'll get around it soon!

23rd?! Wow, I'm really shocked and it definitely deserves to be higher.

I'd really fun with Judgment and the main plot hit me on a huge level as I'd personal experience with it. Adding dub was a good attempt to attract new audience to the series, but personally I hope they stick with the old formula with the main Yakuza entries. Judgment was easily in my top 4.

However, it ended up in my honorable mention, why? Well, I don't feel like bringing it up as I take it very personally and it doesn't bring anything to the GOTY discussion. I love this franchise, but I'm really not a fan of the new approach the localization team are taking and I definitely fear the future of the upcoming Yakuza titles.

Total Games: 3

I can respect that. Kind of a shame since Iceborne is considered one my favorite games this year and it's not eligible.

May I ask why Iceborne is not eligible when Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna The Golden Country were eligible and made it to the list last year?

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is the most overrated game in the series. Horrible gameplay and boring mechanics, it doesn't deserve to be in top 100.

My top 8 is:

#1: Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season One
#2: Dishonored
#3: Dragon's Dogma
#4: Mass Effect 3
Honorable mentions: Journey, Far Cry 3, Diablo III, Borderlands 2

Persona 4 Golden was my first number one pick. I totally forgot about Binary Domain and Gravity Rush, they would easily make it in my top 8. I should start double checking before voting.
