Game of the Year 2021 Users Choice *Under Construction*
Top Line
** Note 1/1/22 ** So this is the first year in awhile that I didn't get my list together. I like the idea I had going of keeping track of what I was playing each month. Unfortunately, seems I was too distracted to work on the list beyond May. Been a chaotic year to say the least, and as I write this on the first of Jan '22, I'm about a month out of moving into my first house.. and its 700 miles away.. and I don't know anyone else there. I don't know how much time for gaming I'm going to have in the next few months but, I can at least assure you that with GT7 scheduled for the beginning of March, I am absolutely going to play that no matter what.
I've had a lot of my games already boxed up for many months now and I'm continuing to pack. Just cocooned my two Toshiba CRT TVs in bubble wrap and padding.
Which also reminds me, seeing the list I wrote of the older games or other stuff I got into in the first half of the year.. Feels like that was either forever ago or it never happened.
I can feel the urge to ramble on and on as I write this but that is an unsatisfactory form for this. I chucked some of my favorite games I played this year, off the top of my head, onto the numerical list below. Let's call it a generalized order. Better than nothing. If I come back to the list at a later date, at least I'll have a vague idea of the games.

Introduction
Games
Jan 2021
Kingdom of Amalour (PS4) - Finally unwrapped. Played for an hour or two? Seemed like it was still tutorial stuff. Juuuuust started to get interesting when I turned it off.
Ni No Kuni Remastered (PS4) - Gave this a punch immediately after KoA mentioned above. Even with the remaster, it didn't look quite as sharp as I remembered the original. Rose tinted glasses. The 60fps was nice. And the animated cutscenes are gorgeous. I was bum rushing it a bit because I had done all this early stuff before. Made it into the forest before I wanted to take a break. Hopefully I give it another go later.
BattleTech (PC) - Ho-boy.. My GOTY a couple years ago. There have been a couple DLC addons that I never really put time into. I was so bored, for some reason I fired this up. Started a new Career and I've been trying to mess with it every day. It's pretty rough with the early light mechs. I'm trying!
