Metro Exodus

1. Metro Exodus

The most richly immersive experience I had this year. Excellent shooting, atmosphere, and attention to detail. Unfortunately I thought a lot of the dialogue scenes on the train dragged and weren't as effective as they could have been.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

2. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

I played this at launch and fucking sucked at it, then put it down for about six months. I came back to it in November, everything clicked and I sailed through it. It's great to know that FromSoft can deviate from the tried and true Souls formula and still make something incredibly demanding and compelling.

Tom Clancy's The Division 2

3. Tom Clancy's The Division 2

The best third person shooter of the year. Makes Gears 5 look like a pile of old shit (which it is).

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

4. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

A surprisingly good mashup of familiar genres that stumbles a bit on the technical side. I hope this sells well because a sequel with more polish could be truly fantastic.

Red Dead Redemption II

5. Red Dead Redemption II

Mostly worth the wait! I wish the story had ended completely at the end of Chapter 6, but I guess you can't have everything.

Slay the Spire

6. Slay the Spire

Great game but I'm shit at it.

Void Bastards

7. Void Bastards

Not really the best Roguelite in the world but in all other aspects it really hits the mark.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

8. Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

I've realised that I don't actually like Symphony of the Night styled Castlevania games all that much, but this game is undeniably great.

Resident Evil 2

9. Resident Evil 2

Loved Leon's weapons, hated Leon. Hated Claire's weapons, loved Claire. If the remake of RE3 focuses on one campaign then I will eat that up with a knife and fork.

Far Cry: New Dawn

10. Far Cry: New Dawn

It's an open world game that isn't bloated and I beat it in like 12 hours! Truly remarkable in this market where "games that you play forever" are currently all the rage.
