So far, what's your GOTY? Or what you think it'll be?

[Fatboi1]

I beat Astrobot the other day and I LOVED it. Loved it alot, was fun from start to finish and I'm still finishing up secret levels/bots/trophies. BUT, man I cannot help it Rebirth is still my GOTY. That game was the only game that had me glued to my seat almost every night for a few hours. Hell I'm listening to the OST right now.



Loved every moment. The gameplay, the graphics, the music, the exploration, story, characters everything. Even the mini games weren't really souring my experience. Cannot forget that game. Only games left for me that I'm anticipating is Ass Creed Shadows and Metaphor somewhat. I HIGHLY doubt they surpass Rebirth for me though. Wukong is pretty good so far too.
Edit: Forgot to add Stellar Blade 2 and Helloblade 2.

1. Astro Bot
2. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
3. Helldivers 2
4. Prince of Persia The Lost Crown
5. Erd Tree/Stellar Blade

Still got Metaphor and Dragon Age coming that can change the list. Rebirth is very close to astro for me but the amount of bloat in Rebirth and the ending is where i take some points off. I take points off Astro bot for the exact opposite reason, the biggest negative is that i want more.

Rebirth felt like by the end i was pushing the plate away and with Astro i was waiting for seconds.

@Fatboi1 , how dare you limit it to only two votes.

Astrobot, Rebirth, Wukong, Stellar Blade, Tekken 8. That's not in any order, tho the first two are fighting for top spot. Lost Crown is an honorable mention as well. As is 9 Sols.

Easily FF7 rebirth, that game was just so good. Curious to see how this holds for me come December.

Visions of Mana and it's not close. My personal favorite game this generation and last. Any Mana Series fan will love it as it's right next to Secret of Mana for me. For someone who has the SNES as their favorite system of all-time, this game was that good. Got everything I wanted out of a Mana game: the lore, visuals and music. Customizability-wise I love how it sets up class and subclass versatility for Min-Maxing. It's definitely deep. Think of Trials of Mana but with a Secret of Mana story. First game I'm about to 100% going back to the PS3 and going to replay again. I literally put time aside from work and school to play it.

Voice acting was great (a brehette is one of the main voice actresses). Dialogue and story were wholesome. I love the thought that went into the game.

[Microfracture]

1. Rebirth

It is an underrated game for sure. Not my top 5 of the year for a few reasons within it itself and among what are my top of the year, but it is really good. This coming from another long time Mana fan and I won't refute anything you said here really, as I ultimately agree with your sentiments of its greatness.

I ate good this year.
It's kind of hard for me to say but I did enjoy Stellar Blade, alot.
We had, and are still having an amazing time with Helldivers 2.
I have to hop on Astrobot after Black Myth: Wukong. I did end up enjoying that first level of Astro that I did play.
Give me a couple of weeks and I'll definitely let you know. Right now it's out of Black Myth: Wukong, Stellar Blade and Helldivers 2

Yeah, it's more of a personal preference for me as it hit all the nostalgia marks Like I mentioned, I'm not really much of a modern gamer and I'm not going to favor realistic graphics over more artistic visuals (my favorite style). I think that's really the SNES upbringing though which is what did it for me.

I wanna play more of these games but that “woke content” thread turned me completely off of them.

 

[Illuminatos]

Rebirth and it’s not even close. I don’t see how any of these other games are even coming close.

 

[gambinomakeitwrk]

Rebirth for me, easily. Wukong 2nd as of right now. Haven't played Astro Bot yet but moving onto that next.

 

[Tunez]

FF7 Rebirth for now
