These are either games I played for the first time this year, put a lot of time into them or finished for the first time, or games I've continued to play throughout the year. I've left off the FFVII remake which I'm not quite finished with and also Darktide which is not finished.

Hard to say anything more about this game that hasn't already been said. Love the return of a bunch of mechanics from dark souls 2, the best in the series.
FINALLY. Turns out this game is incredible wow. Still need to go through the DLC but in terms of atmosphere and world Elden Ring only beats it out in terms of scale but the razor focus of this game is amazing. Lesson learned, don't go to England.
Turns out I still love turning giant monsters into hats, unfortunately mostly played solo but the time I had was very very good. Excited for the new mainline release in the series as a follow up to world.
Oh man, this was my Sid Meier's "one more turn" game of the year. Hours disappeared in seconds and I consistently blew past any reasonable hour I should have gone to bed. Less replayability than I would have guessed but running through the scenarios is incredibly satisfying.
Had previously only gotten to trains and given up in a huff, finally launched some rockets in multiplayer and was so much fun. Can't wait to come back and do it all over again but this time in a slightly less spaghettis way.
With my computer out of comission for some time this year, I got to go through some of my playstation backlog and man this game was a treat. Very difficult but fighting the valkyries were some of the most satisfying fights and the setpieces were magnificent in presentation and scale. I wish the RPG aspects were a little better fleshed out but that's just nitpicking in a masterpiece
Turns out this classic game is classic for a reason. Amazing bare bones game that's presentation is a real treat. A part of gaming history I'm glad I got to experience
I physically was a sweaty nervous wreck any time I finished playing 9/10 would recommend.
This game is an incredible work that would not be possible without gamepass. A historical murder mystery with some of the best presentation and art I've seen. The pains it takes to represent accurate historical components is astounding.
Yet another great Arkane game, I wish it was given a better chance to flourish by Bethesda behind the scenes. The tech and manipulation of alien powers is so so good and I need to finish a second playthrough sometime.
