Game of the Year 2021 - Round Five

[Neon Ignition]

We're moving into the later side of the year and another batch of the years releases are now listed above to single out the diamons from the rough.

Which of the above games were the better titles you played this year?

Kena was an absolutely beautiful experience. Perfect length too.

Sextape, etc.

I've only played a few on that particular list and, of those, only Forza is really GOTY material. Cruis'n Blast is pony, Warioware is great but not GOTY-worthy and Skatebird is amusing for a few minutes, but then irritating. Haven't played any of the others.

Nothing except for Dungeon Encounters. Superb game.

[Stakers]

Loved Kena but it was odd how tough the boss battles were. I’ve picked Far Cry 6 and Metroid Dread. Far cry was just far cry but I enjoyed it and put in a ton of hours. I’ve kept it to maybe 100%. Metroid dread on the other hand was a great experience but I finished it and sold it and don’t think I’ll ever want to play it again. Deserves to make the final list though.

Damn, I've since played Tales of Arise after voting here. The combat in that game is sublime. I vote for that too.

[Dogg Thang]

I can vote! I can vote! I finally played a game from 2021! I had been keeping Life Is Strange True Colors as a reward for finishing my new year art piece and so got to play it and, wow, I love it. It's absolutely gorgeous and the characters sucked me right in. So that gets my vote.
