Since the normies are starting to do their GotY thing.
I think mine’s Hardspace: Shipbreaker, although 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim continues to grow on me.
Tunic. Not that old either (2022), but I guess it’s not “this year”. The whole game is captivating.
Disco Elysium.
I missed it when it came out, but it’s an amazing game. An amazing amazing game.
The normies? What is this, reddit

Return of Obra Dinn. Such an incredible experience.
Rain World is absolutely amazing. I’m hopelessly addicted to it. Highly recommend if you like unique games.
I’ll share three based on how much I want to play them again soon
- The Last of Us Part 2
- Kena Bridge of Spirits
- Days Gone
The King’s Field Trilogy on PS1. These games bounced off me hard back in the day, but I got curious about them after reading about their influence on Souls. These were games that were waaaay ahead of their time, and so satisfying now that I have the patience to really appreciate what From Software were trying to create. Also: definitely play the translated version of the first Japanese one.
Probably ‘Talos Principle’. I still haven’t finished it though. A tier puzzle game for me. Maybe S tier by the time I finish!
Second one just came out
Super Mario Odyssey. It’s mostly extremely fun, controls well, with only occasional camera angles and poor checkpointing infuriation lighting its copybook.
Kenshi. Unlimited replayability and modability.
