“I loved Pikmin 4 a LOT more [than Tears of the Kingdom]. I had so much fun with it dude. The level of detail that went into such minute things as well as the craftsmanship of every area, enemy and music were just incomparable. It was in my opinion the best Pikmin-related entry to date and my only complaint was that there isn’t something that makes the game harder, though I have that same complaint with TOTK.” – Ambigant
“Talos Principle II, hands down. Such an outstanding sequel to a game I loved.” – Mireille is sensational, like a She-Hulk
“I think this year was one of the best in recent memory for me in terms of what I played (and what actually came out this year). Top 10:
10. Slay the Princess
9. Dungeons of Eternity
8. Shadows of Doubt (Early Access)
7. Dredge
6. Blasphemous 2
5. Zelda TOTK
4. Remnant II
3. Lies of P
2. Astlibra: Revision
1. A Space for the Unbound
I’ll be playing BG3 over the holidays so this could still change!” – DenzilOfDojima
“Sea of Stars was a throwback JRPG experience I absolutely devoured, just a pure treat of a game with gorgeous pixel art, a great soundtrack, memorable characters, an interesting world with great lore, an engaging turn-based battle system, and fun traversal and puzzles.” – Lufia 2 = GOAT
“My Time at Sandrock came out on November 2nd and I’ve already completed 3 playthroughs for a total of 495 hours. I will undoubtedly play it several more times before the next My Time game comes out.” – KateH
“Easily T’Chia and BG3. Special shout out to Armored Core 6 and No Man’s Sky as well.” – RedEyedJedi410
“Pikmin 4.” – sxp151
“Remnant 2 was the biggest, most consistent surprise to play with friends, and the next most rewarding.” – Nicholas Alberts
“Armored Core 6. I don’t know what to say about it other than that From has once again raised the bar for second-to-second gameplay. It just feels right.” – melted_snake
“Pizza Tower was the most fun I’ve had with a game in years, and the soundtrack is in my top 3 of all time. I want more goofy depictions of anxiety-addled characters like poor Peppino.” – B. H.
