Tons of great ones this year

Resident Evil 4 Remake was a real highlight for me, just a stellar way to revisit what I consider to be one of the best games of all time.

Haven’t finished it, but Tears of the Kingdom seems like it’s on its way to be a historically significant game and deserves the praise.

Jedi Survivor is a favorite for me. Really good review scores, but it ticks a lot of the right boxes for my personal taste and elevates it even higher. Technical issues aside, thought it was a far better game than Fallen Order.

Diablo 4 is also a lot of fun but I’m undecided as to how I feel about the endgame. As a campaign experience right up there though.

…soo much to play right now haha.

Really vivid memories of going Christmas shopping with my mother and getting Final Fantasy X with the strategy guide as an early gift when I was young. I think it had just released and it was all over the magazines I was subscribed to (shoutout Gamepro haha). Was super engrossed with it during that break. I always interested in RPGs, but I was at just the right age to really start enjoying them a lot more when that game came out. Was a really awesome, memorable winter break.

…on a more duderbo note, my high school friends and I would stay up ungodly hours and drink waaaaay too many Five Hour energy shots playing Halo 3 and later Reach. Undoubtably unhealthy, but very good times.

lot of attrition at Arkane Austin per this thread

Yeah even as someone who loves those types of games it’s definitely a thing that’s beginning to impose itself on the space a bit too much at this point. This looks fresh compared to how most third person RPGs are these days.

Super Metroid and Chrono Trigger are the first two I think of personally. Just historically great games with legacies that are still felt today.

See through plastic is still cool and I will fight anyone that says otherwise.

This is shaping up so well by the looks of it. The pace of play looks exactly what I would want out of a modern mech game. Very excited about this one. From Software does not miss.

Really hoping for Fable! Soft spot for that series and it’s been too long.

Redfall 2 announcement ;^)

Tough to say though. Definitely has the potential to be the biggest one of these events over the past little bit as you have to figure Microsoft is in swing for the fences mode. If they have anything, now is the time to show it and push it hard. Would be nice to see something about Fable but that’s been kind of rumored/expected. There’s a lot of stuff that could be cooking in all those studios that they own, anything could happen.
