26. SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE
(FromSoftware, 2019, Down 2)
81 points, listed 10 times, #1 3 times


Sekiro makes it into the countdown for the fourth year on the trot as FromSoft rack up their third appearance of the night. That just leaves them with one more game in contention. I have a feeling we won’t be seeing that one for a while though…

(I got to post the fromsofts this year :D This is easily their joint best game. What an incredible journey it was !)

Returnal is SO GOOD

100% a must play if you like shooters, and the story is ace.
Just top tier environmental world building as well.
