I can't even remember which games came out which year. I'll say I liked Dead Cells a lot and Blue Prince was really cool, but other than that nothing's sticking out in my mind

 

[fake-kun]

SUPER MARIO BROS 2 IS THE GAME OF THE YEAR EVERY YEAR

 

[Potapota]

I got Baldur's Gate 3 during the christmas sales I think and it sure has earned a retroactive goty 2023 to me. Quite frankly I can't remember what else came out this decade that really stood out as much.
It's a wonderful game that I didn't even think I would like all that much.

2020: DOOM Eternal
2021: Psychonauts 2
2022: Signalis
2023: Hi-Fi RUSH

2025: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

 

[Soma_Shotgun]

2020: New Super Lucky's Tale
2021: Hitman 3
2022: Pokémon Legends: Arceus
2023: RoboCop: Rogue City
2024: Sonic X Shadow Generations
2025: Probably Robobcop again

Not sure how I'll feel about Robocop Unfinished Business. Looks more of the same and not sure what else can they do with the story. I'll play it regardles. Overall liked Rogue City. It retroactively fixed Robocop 2's story and the combat was fun enough but it could get repetitive and have some boring sections. It was also a slav-jank. Still, a must play for a Robocop fan for sure.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

2020: Jack Bros
2021: Jack Bros
2022: Jack Bros
2023: Jack Bros
2024: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
2025: Jack Bros

 

[Soma_Shotgun]

2020: Jack Bros
2021: Jack Bros
2022: Jack Bros
2023: Jack Bros
2024: Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
2025: Jack Bros

Been wanting to get into Shin Megami Tensei.(Definetly not regular Megami Tensei I saw videos about it how much a chore it is) Is the first snes game a good place to start? Or you have only played Jack Bros and V? lol

 

[GardeniaSky's icon GardeniaSky GardeniaSky]

I know for a fact Baldur's Gate 3, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Metroid Dread are all on this list for me. Instant classics. Will replay them until I die. idk about the rest.

[Tonberry]

• 2020 - Toss-up between Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Yakuza: Like a Dragon
• 2021 - Shin Megami Tensei V (I only played Vengeance but I can't think of any other game this year lol)
• 2022 - TMNT: Shredder's Revenge
• 2023 - Baldur's Gate 3
• 2024 - Dragon's Dogma 2 (Persona 3 Reload if counting remakes)

These are always so hard because I'm not very good at playing new games when they're brand new, except for like two or three games a year. I've been getting better at it thanks to Gamepass though but still.
