Red Dead Redemption II

1. Red Dead Redemption II

This game is a masterpiece the amount of polish and variety is unparalleled, it is not perfect the controls can be frustrating and some of the decisions are questionable. But even though it is one of the most awesomely realized worlds in a game ever and so beautiful.

Gris

2. Gris

Gris is one of the most beautiful and incredible sounding games I have ever played short but so well crafted. I love this game so much.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

3. Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

I can't believe how good this JRPG is, so beautiful, so fun. Just can't recommend it enough.

Tetris Effect

4. Tetris Effect

Can you make a better Tetris game, oh yeah you can this is it, I haven't had such a good time playing Tetris in forever.

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

5. Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom

Another incredibly beautiful and fun JRPG the changes from the first game are plenty and it has a cool city building feature, the combat changes are fresh and enjoyable and its like playing a anime.

The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories

6. The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories

Swery continues to make incredible games, this game is so powerful and one of the greatest stories with a very underrepresented population getting the spotlight and the struggles they go through. Love it so much.

Marvel's Spider-Man

7. Marvel's Spider-Man

Insomniac can make beautiful games, and fun ones. The city is beautiful and the traversal is so good.

God of War

8. God of War

Wow this sorta shocked me how good it was, Corey Balrog really made a powerful game, and god damn is it beautiful.

Life Is Strange 2

9. Life Is Strange 2

Only one episode has come out so far for this but boy is it good, Dontnot has quickly become on of my favourite studios and in the fallout of telatale games its great to see someone carrying on the adventure game genre with polish and good tech!

Donut County

10. Donut County

So fun, and some of the best writing I have ever seen in a game. You owe it to yourself to play this game!
