My list so far is subject to change...but indies really controlled this year for me which was basically just two big AAA games i cared about in ER and GOW... ER was my favorite game of the year and God of war was a bit disappointing for me (still a solid 85)...but high on life is by far my biggest surprise...I expected it to be funny but it genuinely has some of the best combat in a shooter in yeeeeears. Cod wins due to polish but variety and movement isn't close. HOL is an instant classic and biggest surprise for me.

In an attempt to not put Elden Ring for most choices and spread awards out amongst games i've played.

Topher Topher Is Witcher 3 cormack12 cormack12 not available for remaster or remake?

Topher Topher cormack12 cormack12 are we not allowed to class The Witcher’s new update as a remaster?

We are only including games that have releases either initial or new to a platform. Perhaps a fine line between a next gen patch and a remaster, but at this point I think that's the line we have drawn.

How about Dwarf Fortress? Technically on PC for years, but the Steam version with UI marks a rather dramatic change alongside it being a paid for game for the first time.

These are games released this year. We don't have an "ongoing game" category, but that might be something we can add in later iterations of this.
I get that, but the games multiplayer keeps updating. This year they added the the zero build, which completely changed how people play the game. Eh. It’s my multiplayer game of the year.

I mean hell, it also released on the new UE 5.1 recently too, with a whole new map. I don’t know. Seems short sided to knock out GaaS for certain categories. Especially if they keep updating.

There are tons of games getting updates. That's just a rabbit hole we are not going to go down right now. We have to limit our scope here or it would never have gotten done at all. Sorry, but it is what it is.

There should absolutely be an ’ongoing game’ category. I’m surprised it wasn’t suggested enough in the previous thread.

We would have to take nominations for something like that well in advance. Definitely something to think about for next year. BTW, Dwarf Fortress was added.

What the fuck does the Gamepass one mean?

A game that deserves more focus through chance to play without buying
Or
Utter dogshit paid game that shouldn't charge money to play?

Serious question as both could be applicable

Only one category I haven't a clue about so I've left it blank (it should have been on Gamepass).

I love that it is easy to go back and with the possibility of updating based on games played over Christmas. Great job!

My issue was does it mean a great game that people will love if they played it but won't risk the cash to try, or does it mean a paid game that is shit and the public shouldn't be charged to play it

I can think of at least one for both

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
cormack12 cormack12 Topher Topher can we have this one added?


It's a pretty good indie JRPG with a spin: instead of being story focused like most of those, this one is about exploration, party building and challenging combat.
