I'm gonna do my writeup tomorrow but I have Fifty! games on my list and it's not even everything I played this year. And it's a ton of bangers. Just for a small teaser, final fantasy 2 pixel remaster is at the bottom of the list.

50:Final Fantasy II 49:Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 48:Mirror's Edge Catalyst 47:Final Fantasy I 46:Xing: The Land Beyond 45:The Entropy Centre 44:Ghostwire: Tokyo 43:Wipeout 2048 42:Knack 41:Sonic Frontiers 40:Like a Dragon: Ishin! 39:Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars 38:Forspoken 37:Honkai Star Rail 36:Endling: Extinction is Forever 35:Oxenfree 34:Untitled Goose Game 33:Sackboy: A Big Adventure 32:Furi 31:The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me 30:Knack II 29:Final Fantasy IV 28:Live a Live 27:Severed 26:Cult of the Lamb 25:We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie 24:Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores 23:Ninja Gaiden Sigma 22:Psychonauts 2 21:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom 20:Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Reunion 19:Humanity 18:Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name 17:Super Mario Wonder 16:Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty 15:Hitman 3 14:Final Fantasy XVI 13:Disco Elsyium 12:Citizen Sleeper 11:Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective 10:Sayonara Wild Hearts What can I say? This music game just really impressed me and touched me a little bit. It was fun going after all the trophies/achievements as I had to replay the various stages in different ways. I have never played a music game as well put together and visually impress me as much as this did. 9:The Surge Okay, finally, I played a souls-like that was getting close to as fun as the original From Software games. The sci-fi settings were great, but I will admit the gameplay is a little stiffer than it should be, and the level layouts is really confusing at first. Can’t wait to play Surge 2 and Lies of P next year as my next souls-like adventures. 8:Resident Evil 4 (2023) Of course, one of the best horror games got a straight up remake, and looks and plays better. Easy win here. Keep in mind, I’m a sucker for horror and scifi as you go down my list. 7:The Talos Principle 2 Okay so if you remember Talos Principle 1? Great little puzzle game. Well, it just got better. The environments are amazing to walk around and look at. The puzzles do feel more balanced and fair. Story is just as good, if not, even better. I honestly love it more than the first game 6:Blasphemous So The Surge, impressed me with how much I had fun with a sci-fi souls-like. Well here’s a 2d Spanish Castlevania-Souls-like. And I loved it! Great bosses, and I did all the trophies as well. It was really fun to do the challenge of beating every boss without using my healing flasks. 5:Marvel's Spider-Man 2 And here we are, probably the best PS5 exclusive that people have been waiting for. 2018’s Spider-Man captured the attention and hearts of millions, and we’re back with a duo of Peter Parker and Miles Morales as Spider-Mens. I won’t touch too much on the story, because I think it’s best experienced, but let me tell you, they have the best portrayal of some familiar plot-lines executed before in the comics/movies. This game is worth your time. 4:Signalis ACHTUNG! SCHWERER AUSNAHMEFEHLER! Survival horror makes a big comeback in Signalis. It is a top-down game but it plays very similar to hardcore survival horror games like the original RE1. The visuals in this game were insanely creative and the atmosphere was incredibly tense. I think this is worth your time if you love sci-fi horror games. 3:Alan Wake II Initiation 4. That should be all that needs to be said. But look, I enjoyed 2010’s Alan Wake 1 and I have been waiting for over a decade for this. And it did not let me down. Let me start off by saying this isn’t that impressive of a game, but it is an impressive experience. If you’re a tv series fan, especially of stuff like Twin Peaks, you own it to yourself to experience AW2. Sam Lake has done it again and I cannot wait for more in the Remedyverse! 2:Dead Space (2023) Remember how I said I loved sci-fi and horror? Well here’s one of my favorite games of all time, from 2008. They just took it and made it better in every single way. It controls better, it looks better, it plays better, it’s more tense, it’s even got a bit of added content and fleshes it out more. There is no reason to play the original anymore. 1:Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon And now we arrive at #1. Last year, Elden Ring won GOTY and I’m hoping From Software does a double-header and AC6 wins GoTY this year. From Software has taken one of their oldest franchises and finally created a new modern entry (their last one was from 2013!). And oh boy, this plays amazingly well and has even more fun bosses and looks great and the environments are a wonder to behold, and I think even Souls-like vets will find some enjoyment in playing AC:VI. But I will end this by saying I am probably the forum’s biggest From Software fan and that is why, without question, I nominate Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon as my number 1 game I played in 2023.

One of the things I like about trophies is I can go view my profile on a website and go back in time and figure out what I played/finished between now and last December. Then it's fun just throwing it all (I've played over 100 games but I kept it to a top 50) into ranking engine and see how the sort gets it. As a fun thing, I 100%/got the platinum for 40 out of 50 games on my list. It's been an amazing year.

I love how many people are voting Talos 2. It has exceeded the original in every way possible (except average puzzle difficulty and that's not a bad thing IMHO) I'm actually replaying the first on steam deck and I can say I hate how much they use the mines/sentries in it. It's so annoying and auto fails you back to the start of the whole puzzle. In talos 2, you can almost never fail and have to restart. You can almost never get completely stuck and even if you do there a restore checkpoint function

It is a rookie mistake to post your list too early as there's still 3 weeks of gaming time to knock out few GOTY candidates.

Hell yes another person voting for AC6 as number one. We might have a shot at getting in the top numbers!

I really was worried talos principle 2 was going to get overlooked because of all the amazing games that came out this year but I see plenty of folks with it in their top ten! And yeah I really think the harshest criticism you can have on that game is the average puzzle difficulty is easier which isn't a bad thing. It's more easily enjoyable by a larger audience!

Owl Inspector posted:I initially thought the puzzle difficulty might be a bit too low compared to the first game but with 132 of them to get through I think it’s good you breeze through some of them or the game would feel exhausting by the end. the gold puzzles definitely had a lot of the original difficulty and a couple of them took me a good half hour to figure out so the game still isn’t exactly easy. Yeah absolutely agreed, if you really miss that original difficulty, just go for 100%, and it'll be exactly what you wanted. Like the statues, and gold and yeah.

Yes, more points for Armored Core 6! I hope it'd got a good chance of ending up in top five, maybe even top 3 (we know bg3 and totk are going to be in top three for sure)

Really great list BP. I'm glad so many variety of videogames exists to entertain and be enjoyed by many people like the year of the jrpg fan, to the dude on a memory journey, to the trophy hunter, to the challenge seekers. This goty thread is really interesting to see what kind of people put together lists like these.

Signalis got a big quality of life update recently with lots of accessibility options Including expanding your inventory (the number 1 problem people have with signalis) It's worth a try at this point especially if you love survival horror or games that are unique artistically. Anyways year, loved how many times Armored Core 6 showed up. Hopefully Armored Core gets lots more future games!

I may not have read every single word but I've read every game title everyone posted so basically I've read at least every single list itself. Partly because I'm always looking for more games to play, fill up my wishlist and get mroe games to get more trophies in. Bring it on!

veni veni veni posted:Also it's way too late to update my list but I really wish I had put Ghostrunner 2 on it instead of Aliens Dark Descent but I didn't start it until last week. Way better game than Aliens though. There's always 2024 list! That's why I make it simple for myself and cut it off in November so I do a Dec-Nov 12 month period.

Manoueverable posted:Frankly, if anything people were a lot colder on TotK than I expected. Wouldn't be surprised if it barely made top 3, there's a lot of ballots that didn't list any Nintendo games at all but still highly rated BG3, Alan Wake, Armored Core, etc. Even if people were colder on totk than expected, it still got in a lot of people's top three so it'll have a good shot at top 3. Realistically I very much expect armored Core 6, totk, Alan Wake 2 and bg3 in top 5. How the order goes is gonna be interesting.

Hey I think that's my first quote! Just FYI this game recent a patch very recently that solves a lot of issues many people had with this game, like the limited inventory space. I beat this game mere weeks before that patch.
