The shading is amazing.
I would love to see Kefka in your style.

@iboshow voice actors don't get the prestige that regular actors do, so I'm not surprised they don't announce them earlier. They seem to only care when it's a big character, so for Spider-Man it made sense, or if it's a celebrity playing them like Rhonda Rousey playing Sonya in MK11.

The most surprising thing to me from this list has been that people voted for Metal Gear Survive. Didn't think anyone liked the game.

They haven't really been making a big deal about Sam Witwer being in this game, so not surprised it's flown under the radar.
Being an obsessed voice actor fan, I thought it was him from an earlier gameplay video but that beard threw me, and the nose looked weird.
I like him a lot, so him being the main character actually made me more interested. Not sure I'll play it, because those zombie hordes look stressful, but I hope it does well.

My top 3 were the same as this list's top 3, but they moved around all the time up until the voting deadline. All three were games I adored, and that I was obsessed for a month or so around their releases. For someone who has a terrible tendency to not finish games, the fact that I finished those three was surprising. I knew I would finish Spider-Man since I love comic books and Insomniac games, but GoW and RDR2 were huge surprises since I didn't care for their previous games.
God of War basically took my number 1 based on the fact that I used to HATE Kratos, and by the end of that game I didn't. Add to that an interesting story and fun combat, and it just beat out RDR2.

My list though was:

1. God of War
2. RDR2
3. Spider-Man
4. Assassin's Creed Odyssey
5. Let's Go Eevee
6. Tetris Effect
7. Celeste
8. Smash Bros Ultimate

Well this is awkward... I apparently forgot to put MHW on my HMs. I forgot it was this year for some reason... Too many games came out and apparently I forgot the first half of the year. Still happy with the games I did choose.

MHW is a great game and wins my imaginary award for best DLC/Updates.

@sabotagethetruth and we continue with the idiocy of people trying to lay the blame for school shootings on video games. Why deal with the real causes when you can lay the blame elsewhere and try and make some money?

I'm not exactly concerned about difficulty in the games I play, but I do try to start most games on normal. With Divinity though I just start with story mode, because I am terrible at this style of combat, and for me the game is all about the experience and the story. It is pretty much a perfect D&D game.

ACO got my number 4 without me even finishing it, and mostly that comes down to how great Kassandra is and how much fun it is to just clean out an entire fort. I definitely think it's too long, but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the story.
Also, the cultist system was a great addition to the series.

DQXI is a game I would have adored as a kid, when I had more time and patience for JRPGs, which I just have come to realize I don't anymore. I know I'd love it for like 20 or so hours, and then I'd be distracted and never finish it.
