Duh. Waited an extra 6 months and it didn't disappoint.

2. Forza Horizon 5Forza Horizon 5https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Forza_Horizon_5Opens wiki page

Didn't put as much time into this as I intended, but it took me 3 days to get it to run. Otherwise, very fun.

3. Ghost of TsushimaGhost of Tsushimahttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Ghost_of_TsushimaOpens wiki page

Waited and picked this up for PS5, it is excellent, but there is a lot of game here and I know I'll be pecking away at it for a while.

4. Super Mario 3D WorldSuper Mario 3D Worldhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Super_Mario_3D_WorldOpens wiki page

Missed this on Wii U, switch version also good.

5. Battlefield 2042Battlefield 2042https://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Battlefield_2042Opens wiki page

I haven't put as much time into this as I'd have liked, but it's another battlefield. Initial instability killed a little of my enthusiasm but, when it hits, it hits so well.

6. Final Fantasy VII RemakeFinal Fantasy VII Remakehttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Final_Fantasy_VII_RemakeOpens wiki page

I acquired a PS5 and played the DLC, which is what I'm rating here. I can understand not liking where they're going with this, but I'm excited to see it. And it plays well. And it's gorgeous.
