Sequel this year! Don't sleep on it folks! If you haven't played the first one yet this is your chance to catch up in time!

I actually forgot I had this game on my list and I'm happy it's in the top 50.

Also my son had his grandmother preorder the special edition of the sequel for Christmas, so I'm obligated to play it day 1. I can't wait!

Oh no, we have reached the most perilous of moments! We are about to enter the hallowed halls of the top 40 but for one game this means we must leave them at the gates. Such a terrible fate, especially if this were to be a game that was released this year. The agony! The ignominy! Which game will have to live with the fate of being your #41? It’s time to find out!

Here we are in the top 40 and it is starting to become serious business. From here on out we’re going to start seeing a lot more of this year’s biggest games fall. I do hope your favourite doesn’t get knocked out of the running! Let’s see who’s up next at #40!

Reminder for anyone going "ooh, a good Halo game?" that while it is a good Halo game, the progression and customisation systems are predatory and terrible even aside from that. Get in (multiplayer is free!), shoot dudes, then get out when it stops being much fun to shoot dudes.

If Silksong comes out this year the '22 year thread is going to be in a dead lock between it and Elden Ring. Doubt that will happen what with the complete silence on the project for over a year now.
