It could be a game that came out this year, or not. Your choice.

Mine is Dragon Quest 11 Definitive Edition for Switch. Now I have played almost all DQ games. And yes they are all similar. But man I don't know how they keep doing it, but they keep surpassing themselves. So yeah if you like JRPG's just play it. Duh.

Runner Up=Darkest Dungeon Ancenstral Edition for Switch again. Damn it man. Hard as balls game but too addictive. Hope the next one will be amazing too. And I don't even like Roguelikes!

Best old game I played this year is Final Fantasy XIV. Real great stuff, particularly Heavensward and Shadowbringers. Hope the next expansion is like these and not like Stormblood.

It's all a bit hazy. I had the time to sink into playing fighting games online. FF7 Remake was an early favorite. Ghost of Tsushima is worth recognition but it's hard to think of it as more than a good AssCreed clone. Hades made Roguelite not an instant dealbreaker for me, but I haven't finished it. DMCV is as good as you'd expect. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity just now, it's very good, no doubt about it, but I'm sort of done with it.

Since quarantine started, probably Sunless Skies or Remnant. I do plan to get to Hades soon

Honestly, the patches for Final Fantasy XIV. If I don't include that, then Control. Control was a fantastic mix of Metroidvania and TPS.

Ori 2 > The Last of Us (the first one) > Witcher 3

I loved all of these games a crazy amount, and put over 140 hours in Witcher 3. I should probably get the DLC.

And man, so much love for Outer Wilds. I've had that via Game Pass forever. Think I'll actually start it tomorrow.

Easily Outer Wilds, which has become a top 5 game of all-time for me.

Best game that came out this year that I played was Hades.

Yeah sorry I want to amend my earlier post. This year has been something else so it's tough to remember what the hell was going on earlier this year lol

Persona 5 Royal is the best thing I've played this year and probably in quite some time. It helped that I never played a Persona game, and haven't really touched jRPGs in over a decade.

what a banger that game was

FF7R was my favorite new game of the year, but for games that came out previously I'd probably go with either Shin Megami Tensei 4 or Steamworld Heist.

Also Shovel Knight if we count the last campaign which I didn't get around to until a few months ago.

Hrm, technically I did replay Deadly Premonition this year...

But, of the games that came out this year that I've actually completed, Ghost of Tsushima. I'm currently working my way through Like a Dragon and I need to finish off 13 Sentinels and FF7R, so that might change though.

Catching up on FFXIV has been an experience. I thought I saw one of the greatest moments I've ever played during Post-Heavensward, but then Shadowbringers happened.
