This year was an amalgamation of ol' reliable (Hades, Deeprock, Apex), working on my single player backlog (Doom Eternal, Prey), and hopping around some niches like anime murder mystery and slightly elevated flash games.
The following list is the order of games that I enjoyed and played this year with a short blurb about my time with the game.

Hail to the king, one of the few if only games I've ever gone back to after getting all the achievements. Playing with different combinations and pushing higher heats kept me going. I tapped out around 20 heat with my favorite weapons: Bow, Fists; and had a wonderful time.
Truly one of the best cooperative multiplayer experiences still. Been playing this one for a while now after being hesitant to jump in and boy I regret it taking as long as it did. Rock and Stone
This is not as good of a game as many other by it in this list but I did not laugh at anything else near as much. Living my best cannibal life and chasing my friends around yelling "OMNOMNOM" while chowing down on arms and legs was hilarious and so much fun.
A really inventive idle game with a great art style and just enough complexity to really want to dive in. Loop hero really was a fun experience this year and I really enjoyed my time with it.
Coming back to the DLC/achievement hunt, this game is as good as I remember. Arkane truly made some special sandboxes to play around in with really fun tools to get through the game. I did my first high chaos runs which really helped with the stress of some of my pacifist ghost runs.
I tried to push myself this year and with the help of some really extensive guides by WoolieGaming I finished my first monsoon runs and became way more consistent in the game. Excited for the expansion coming soon and it truly was a great game.
Wow. I cannot believe how long it took me to play this game but with the sequel coming out and my friends speaking really highly of the game I'm glad I finally did. The writing is so funny and good it was absolutely worth struggling through some of the more aged parts of this classic.
I came into this game after the final cut and wow the voice acting in this game is INCREDIBLE. I've been meaning to come back to the game but this is a hard one to replay but is a very special experience the first time. Not many games give you in depth conversations with your tie.
The DLC for this game was more outer wilds and building a self contained expansion into their physics sandbox is a feat. While it didn't grab me the same as the original game (literally one of my favorite gaming experiences of ALL TIME) it was still incredibly special and I'm glad I went through the strangers halls.
What a game and with continued development this is a really special game and I haven't played much else like it. As a huge weenie I can only play so much but WE GOT GHOSTIES TO HUNT.
