To be fair, I played the PS5 version after a lot of bugs had been fixed. If this was the game that came out at launch, it easily would have been up for GOTY. This game is gorgeous, fun and I cannot stop playing. Even after finishing the game, I went back in to get the platinum which includes doing every "gig," which is to a side mission what a side mission is to a main mission. It's been a long time since I have played an open world RPG and didn't reach the point of, "I'm ready to be done, let's just finish the story."
This game was an emotional JOURNEY. Fantastically done. Wow. I think this was better than Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. It would have been my #2 game in 2021 if I had gotten around to it then, just behind Resident Evil Village.
Specifically, this is Monster Prom XXL. Wow. This game is hilarious. It only takes 30-60 minutes (depending on length you choose) to play through a run. I'm not sure if it's highly replayable, or I just want to see all of the things, but the repeats lose effect.
Really enjoyed playing this with my wife. Played through multiple episodes and had a blast playing co-op NES Castlevania. Highly recommend.
Holy cow. This game was really interesting and didn't over stay it's welcome. Had the right level of creepiness without feeling like too much. Interesting story.
It's like they took the gameplay from Doom 2016/Doom Eternal, but made it good! They also made a grappling hook that is way better than Halo Infinite's. This game was a lot of fun.
This is the most relaxing game I think I have ever played. There's something so cathartic about playing this on easy and kicking someone in the head until they collapse into a pile of unconsciousness. I don't think there's another sports game that's fun at lower difficulties. Winning in Madden 100-0 or something is really boring. This has not gotten boring yet. The pre-game hype make me think, "Haha. This computer AI thinks they have a chance. Now they have brain damage."
This game is bat crap insane. The story is wild, and the gameplay is a lot of fun. Slicing people up gets really cool.
Played through this with my wife. It was difficult, but surprisingly soothing a lot of the time. Some times the game was BS and broke its own rules. Overall, a lot of fun.
This was an adorably fun platformer and free! Totally forgot to play this in 2020 when I got the PS5. I see why it was on so many people's top ten games of the year.
