I've invested too much time into this for it to not be #1. Its more ffxiv, but that's a very good thing.

2. Super Mario OdysseySuper Mario Odysseyhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Super_Mario_OdysseyOpens wiki page

A sense of discovery that I haven't found in a game in years. That ability to look around the corner and find something, a moon or coins or whatever, is something that more games should strive for.

3. Persona 5Persona 5https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Persona_5Opens wiki page

Note: I haven't finished this, but it has the mechanisms I loved from previous Personas, is gorgeous and is dripping with Styyyllleeeeee. What more could you ask for?

4. Destiny 2Destiny 2https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Destiny_2Opens wiki page

This had to be here. Like many, I've fallen off Destiny 2 a lot faster than I did the first, but the time spent was much more enjoyable.
