Game of the year: Babylon fall
The game is wired, cutscenes have literally filter that looks like someone cummed on your screen. Game has like ps2 graphics, gameplay is actually good when you understand how the game works. Definitely the most memorable game I played this year and I also was the fastest person who platinum it before chinks started destroying my time.
Action game of the year: Ghostwire Tokyo
Very cool consept, in that whole game only 2 people are alive rest are dead. You also doing pew pew from your hands. The game also shows how boring Tokyo is. It’s basically persona without school, social and monster capture elements. It also a game where I could feel like I am like the protagonist.
Best story: new tales of borderlands
Making such dislikable characters is legit talent. The protagonist are a skinny rat looking YouTuber get rich wannabe kid, his sister (bipoc) professor who is smart as Tony stark, a white obese women on mobility scooter that is non binary and is in her 50 and want s*x with that kid while he tell her she is like mother to him. It’s basically a dumb and dumber story. They get a treasure from vault that can heal you and makes you immortal and they decide to sell it.
Best racing game: Need for speed ASAP
It has best credits of any video game:
Best call of duty: modern warfare 2
It has Iranian general and Wagner
Best rpg: crisis core and soul hackers
Crisis core has unreal dialogues after playing this game for 30 mins and hearing those dialogues I was like no way the namura guy has a wife. The dialogues are very poetic even a bit Kafka like you can feel it was made by neurodivergent gay person it’s not how people interact with each other.
And soul hacker is a decent jrpg.
Best mmo: Lost Ark
It’s probably Lost Ark, I haven't played it the game is banned in my country. I also heard if you decide to play the game go to Russian servers since they are the only one with English languages + uncensored.
Worst game of the year: god of war ragnarok
I had a feeling like I am some creep walking behind kratos and his son the whole game. One time it’s ok to make such art strag mechanism but on second game it’s just stupid. That shit is literally the reason you can’t skip any cutscene’s or talk, b-word I am playing god of war let me kill stuff let me skip the bull shit I don’t care about your one frame shoot, that shit also limits the scope of the game.
Second worst game: elden ring
You played a soul game you already played it.

Ok, lets unpack this
No , but really, i felt like Elden Ring was a step back for Fromsoft. Sekiro was an incredibly interesting step in another direction, its a game that tried to have an actual narrative, your character is actually a character , not just a minmax build you make , it has more dynamic mechanics and level design and stuff and then we get "Dark souls again, but bigger!". It was a big let down. If the next From game is "Elden Ring 2 the Ringening" i am not going to even bother.

Yes, and it was really great. The but bigger part makes a huge difference despite being dark souls it felt new and adventurous and mysterious because of it. 10/10, the Ringening can't come soon enough.

Sekiro is nothing like a souls game, stop comparing them.

Thats the point neighbor. I wish From to stop rehashing souls formula but Elden Ring is like a step back to that.

It's not even the rehash that was the issue, it's just that the open world contributed nothing to the experience other than running around for 5 hours and missing a bunch of content that you go back and effortlessly stomp
ER should've been a linear game

"linear baaaad" cried the game journo and armchair game designer for the last 10 years and now every game is a generic sandbox with crafting mechanics
It really do be like that
The first dark souls was more like a Zelda game and that was the coolest part, now not even Zelda wants to do that.

There was literally nothing that DS1's "Open" World didn't have that Actual open worlds did, which is the worst part about it
DS2 was shit
DS3's world was linear in a shitty non-connected way
Imagine ER's map if they kept doubling down on how connected the map was

A compact but well crafted interconnected world will always beat a huge expansive but less deliberate one, always,

Ah yes the weeb game about getting yeeted by pattern bosses, which is literally nothing like Dark Souls but still gets compared due to also having clunky combat with stiff animations purpose built for dying in.

For me with elden ring the only new thing was the horse other than that it was just a dark souls 3. I enjoyed stranger paradise way more than elden ring. But sekiro was legit cool, but I doubt they ever make a sequel, the concept for this game probably was developed in 2004 when Activision was still making single player game and wanted a new tenchu but the game was only finished 15 years later as sekiro. But this year that dynasty warrior nioh game looks promising

A more stealth focused Tenchu like game would actually be cool.
I know nothing of Stranger of Paradise,. Heard one guy talking about it but i wasn't sure if he was being ironic or if it actually was a good game so haven't looked into it.

If stranger paradise didn’t had such bad graphic it would be a decent game but the graphics are like very bad even for ps3 standards and it’s runs terrible. At this point to make such bad graphic you actually need talent and it has to be deliberate. But it’s interesting take on souls games and bosses are actually cool but there ain’t as many as in souls games. Some lvls in the game are very bad like they are labyrinths with multiple floors. So it’s cool bosses and game play, questionable lvl designs and very bad graphics

i am willing to give it a try when i have the chance. With Squeenix you never know but i actually liked FFXV despite everything so who am i to tell.

Well ff15 was alright they probably needed to more years to finish it. But it had a good idea and unique world. Ff16 is gonna probably be Witcher 3 with dmc gameplay. But it’s kinda cool that square enix let devs with litle budget try stuff like left alive, silent man, front mission remake, Valkyrie game, star ocean Devine force, dios and etc, some of those games are interesting other total mess

FFXV is a collection of nice momments in a game with really shit plot, i hardly remember what it was about but i remember having a nice time just cruising the world doing missions and small stuff, I hope XVI keeps the same quality on character interaction because thats what saved XV from being a true dumpster fire.
I did see some of the new Valkyrie Profile game, the graphics readlly do look very ps3 on that one, shiny floors and all but thats just the reality of game deving i guess, anything below AAA big budget simply can't make use of all the tech available or it'd be too labor intensive.
