With Hades II's early access and Balatro, feels like it's gonna be another Year of the Roguelike to me. (also playing Astral Ascent, but that probably isn't gonna win any hit awards)

aquaticrabbit posted:This game is completely over the top in the best ways possible, and I was hooked from the moment I finished the demo. Super Inactive posted:Has the best action battle system in an RPG yet. Boy of Joy posted:just blown away by the spectacle, combat, characters and music, so much so that after finishing it the first time I immediately replayed it in NG+ on Final Fantasy mode (aka Hard mode). BeanpolePeckerwood posted:The boss battles feel like the biggest things of all time, they completely command your attention for huge chunks of time and they forever change the landscape of the game's story when through. They are some of the most stunning videogame spectacle moments in recent memory, earning every orchestral crescendo and melodramatic flourish, transforming the build-up of narrative melodrama into propulsive action mechanics and regular old oh poo poo moments. broken pixel posted:Oh man. I bought a PS5 for this game and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, like a lunatic. I don’t regret it. Ibblebibble posted:The hype grew and grew with every trailer and playthrough and hell, I got a PS5 just for it. And then the game came out and was my hype worth it? Help Im Alive posted:Also after XV's attempt at a more action based battle system I was surprised the combat here is actually genuinely good (there's not much to it at first but it's really satisfying once you've got a couple eikons to work with) Clive would also rank p high on my list of FF protagonists but no one has made a thread for that  06. Final Fantasy XVI (SquareEnix) (2023) 298 points. Voted for 52 times. Appeared #1 three times. Average of 5.7  A new mainline Final Fantasy! And a protagonist named Clive! I am immensely looking forward to playing this game. It is going to be magnificent when I finally finish almost every other Final Fantasy. Now, the final five. How are they ordered? How many points did they acrue? Are they were you hoped they were?

I dunno, maybe let people like the games they like? Or maybe try a more positive comment like "I am glad so many people like Lies of P with its gameplay grounded on the rich foundations of Bloodborne" or something. This a GOTY thread afterall.

Alan Wake 2 still has the best vote average so far (7.7) Lot of people played FFXVI and placed it middle portion of their list.

FireWorksWell posted:I won't even mind if Hades 2 EA doesn't show up in Q1 with all the other games coming out. I really like it so far, but I definitely keep getting stonewalled by the end of Zone 2's bosses and I'm not sure if that's me being bad at videogames or not having unlocked enough metaprogression yet (somebody in the Roguelike thread made it all the way to the end of the first difficulty level on their 5th attempt). Definitely encourages you to run through zones as quickly as possible although there is a slight side benefit (earlier leveling of your overall character in time for Zone 2) if you stop and smell the roses/punch mobs just a bit more than the natural flow of the game otherwise encourages. The bosses are pretty fun and mostly what you're here for with 3 on a rotation per zone. It's not quite Hades-level in its other aspects, but it does come decently close and I'm finding a lot happens in between each run so far, still.

I'm surprised FF16 made it this high given that I have seen 0 discussion about it and know even less about it. Been a while since an FF failed to penetrate my gaming circles.

FireWorksWell posted:I made it to the city when I tried Throne's story in the demo before stopping and pre-ordering; the combat, cutscenes, vibes from hearing the night BGM of New Delsta and the visuals combined were all I needed. It's been nine months since I played it and I still think about this game. YoshiOfYellow posted:Even outside of combat you have a ton of ways to interact with the world and the NPCs that live in it. Every part of the world is rich with flavor and lore. The world truly feels full & alive & lived in. Exploring is an incredible treat. fridge corn posted:This is a game that has it all – a complete package. Everything this game had to offer was on point. The visuals, the gameplay, the narrative, the music (especially the music) was spot on. 10 out of 10s across the board. The Black Stones posted:What every sequel to a game should strive to be. Natural 20 posted:The best turn based rpg that has been released in the past twenty years. Bad News Panda posted:This game is singlehandedly the reason I'm so late posting my top 10 because I've been playing it obsessively over the last two weeks and just barely got it finished in time to put it on my list.  05. Octopath Traveller 2 (SquareEnix) (2023) 329 points. Voted for 47 times. Appeared #1 six times. Average of 7   So many of you wanted this in the top five and you got your wish. Here it is quite comfortably. Ocotpath Traveller II is a game I have heard being lauded in so many other threads and this placement feels so well earned by it. It has been a great year for RPGs from Japan.

It sounds promising, thanks! I'm still gonna wait for a sale, I think I need a break from Hades-likes after 100%ing Warm Snow (which was a drat blast to play through especially when I had everything unlocked). E: Hell yeah OT2!!
