With the year wrapping up, pretty much time to discuss your top favorite games of the year. I’ve bought a large chunk of the AAA releases that made their way to Steam plus a couple of great indie titles.

I only play games on PC so I never got to play Breath of the Wild or Mario Odyssey which I’m sure are great games!

In order, these are my top 5 games of the year based on quality and the fun value:

1. PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS (almost hesitated to put this on the list because it’s not released, but it’s by far the funniest experience I had in a game all year, especially with friends)
2. Assassin’s Creed: Origins (the biggest surprise for me, never thought I’d put an AC game on this last since Unity came out)
3. Total War: WARHAMMER II
4. Yooka-Laylee (huge fan of the Rare games of the SNES and N64. Wasn’t as good as I was hoping to be, but I’m still very happy this got released and it’s a solid game)
5. Resident Evil VII

Honorable mentions: Prey, Middle-earth: Shadow of War (started strong, got way too repetitive toward the end), Ghost Recon Wildlands (great but eventually repetitive, haven’t played PvP update)

Biggest Disappointment: Wolfenstein II (way too much “hit you over the head” with virtual signaling and SJW)

Yooka Laylee at 4?

If you wanted a game like it that was good just play A Hat in Time

Yooka Laylee appealed to me, as said in the OP, because I'm a huge fan of Rare games like Banjo Kazooie, DK 64, Conker, etc.

Again, A hat in time is a better 'rare game' than yooka laylee

My two cents, A Hat In Time is a kid game. Way too easy, provides little challenge. Cute game though and its not a horrible experience overall.

What I gave was my opinion as a consumer. My opinion angered him just like how the opinions of conservatives anger SJWs. Instead of giving a rebuttal of substance, he ragingly said "kys" and disappeared into the wind, classic SJW. Therefore, he has hurt feelings.

Wolfenstein was awesome. I’m not some triggered SJW who is offended just because a game is critical of white people.

Don’t care, killed Nazis.

Well I'm glad you liked it. I'm not saying people can't enjoy the game. I just didn't like it and I thought The New Order was better. Obviously neither hold a candle to Doom 2016 however. How some people here though see a conflicting opinion as a personal attack and get triggered is beyond me though.

1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - No game has captured my attention so completely
2. Super Mario Odyssey - Almost as good as Galaxy, great nonetheless
3. Cuphead - Just a brilliant experience
4. Steamworld Dig 2 - Best indie outside of Cuphead, no question
5. Splatoon 2 - Most multiplayer fun I've had all year

Xenoblade 2 has a chance to crack this list. Most of the big third party titles I gave a shot - MvC, LotR, SFV - were massive letdowns.

1) LoZ: Breath of the Wild
-- No competition for my top spot. Great refresh of mechanics set in a gorgeous world with the classic Zelda theme.

2) Super Mario Odyssey
-- Just fun. Pure gaming.

3) Assassin's Creed Origins
-- Can not believe I thought about placing this game above Super Mario Odyssey.. for a second. What a pleasant surprise.

4) Horizon Zero Dawn
-- HZD was my favorite title within the first 10hrs. But it didn't follow through for me. Going from encounter/instance just felt taxing and took me out of the main story.

5) Prey/Wolfenstein II
-- Hard time filling the 5th spot with a title I really enjoyed. Until I finish Wolfenstein II, it is sort of a tie between Prey and Wolfenstein II.
