Thank you for posting this even if it was a bit late. Stranger of Paradise was easily the most fun I had with a game this year. It landed about where I thought it would:(
I’m hoping this will be added to PS Extra sometime (this year). I have been interested in because of the Nioh connections, but it never truly convinced me to get it.
My game of the year isn't much of a surprise, From Software usually ends up on top for me. The rest could move around some, but Forbidden West wasn't as impressive as Zero Dawn to me so that closes my list. And I haven't been able to put as much time into Xenoblade as of yet, so I can't put it up much higher for now. Still a very good year all things considered and looking forward to 2023 and of course GOTY content on Giantbomb.
