Best of 2021

List items

  • great heart

    the most shockingly well put together game of the year

    one of the best things I've played

    production values are insane, art is stunning, variety is constantly fresh

    music slaps

    the little open world hub areas are great

    controls a lot better than 1

    the writing and character work is so phenomenal. It is super funny all the way through while also dealing with difficult subject matter in an extremely classy and enjoyable manner

    a game about healing and bettering yourself and others is the perfect thing for 2021

    i can't believe it's 20+ hours at the quality level it is

    it's Microsoft's best game since I don't even know and also congrats to Microsoft for publishing the GOTY for the first time since we started doing this

    only imperfect thing is the power swapping

  • the freshest game of the year

    fantastic gameplay

    incredible sound design

    intriguing world and story

    making their bullet hell 2D stuff into a third person shooter worked so well

    best boss fights in years, hyperion especially

    dualsense stuff is great

    story stuff is a let down and that plus a slight lack of variety in gameplay later on are the only things that stop it from being #1

  • the king of schlock for this year, it's so unbelievably stupid

    outside of the segment in the first hour where you are in the village I had an amazing time from start to finish

    the castle segement was great, the PT segment was amazing, the fish monster segment was real dumb, the weird terminator factory was great, the dumb MW2 section at the end was dumb

    it's so dumb

    enviornmental variety is so much better than 7

    enemy variety is way better

    production values are incredible

    gives you that Resident Evil loop three or four times in smaller environments which I loved

    much more of an action game than horror which I was into

  • great heart

    feel good, fun animated family movie from start to finish

    incredible tech/visuals, gameplay feels so much better than it ever has

    has that comfy nostalgic, PS2-era vibe to it

    Rivet and Kit are great

    writing and character stuff is really well done

    left me ready to immediately play another one of them

    maybe a tad disappointing that it's extremely just another Ratchet game

  • shockingly good and high production, it's so much better than A Way Out

    controls feel fantastic

    endless creativity

    no segment overstays its welcome

    personality is very weird as is the story but i liked how odd it all was

    peaked early with the bee segment but it holds up to the end

    elephant scene

  • great heart

    the perfect thing for the end of the year for me, a very fun, very linear popcorn action adventure

    the writing and character work is way better than I ever expected

    best surprise of the year, I had utterly rock bottom expectations

    does more with the characters than the movie, ties the main plot into the interpersonal stuff nicely

    cosmo is the best

    visuals are amazing, soundtrack is good

    combat is very basic and dull

    overstays its welcome by an hour or two

  • DLC

    first 5 hours were incredible, last 5 hours were incredible

    loved the more sinister, dreadful vibes a lot of it has

    the entire first couple hours are some of the best opening hours of anything, ever

    the stranger is amazing

    middle section was not very fun for me, puzzle stuff that was obtuse to me and the stealth stuff

    if I was playing it as part of the main game and able to walk away from it to other places it wouldn't have been as much of a problem

  • great world, great visuals, great music, good writing, extremely mechanically deep

    will probably be my go to card game for the next long while whenever I have the itch

    only card game since thronebreaker to hook me

  • amazing story that somehow manages to provide crazy twists that recontextualize the whole thing *EVERY HOUR OR SO*, it's a delightfully complicated story

    manages to be comprehendible despite the complexity and variance/modularity in how you uncover it

    gameplay is almost nonexistent

  • wonderful heart and writing, playing it last year and finishing it after coming home worked really nicely

    great visuals and music and vibe, especially that its quiet and leaves me alone

    jank as hell holds it down
