This week, it’s Alan Wake 2, which has released and scored an 89 on Metacritic, a tick below a 90, but a 92 if you’re looking on PC where its visuals can be maxed to their fullest.

I love FromSoft games. I still haven’t gotten around to AC6. It launched at such a bad time with so many other games coming out, especially if you have GamePass. BG3 came out about the same time (not on gamepass, but easy purchase), then Starfield (which was frustrating and bad, but still took time), Payday 3 (which is alright but flawed, and hopefully will be improved like PD2 was), and Cities Skylines 2. Notable mention to Counter Strike 2, while not doing anything that new for CS, it’s still the thing we’ve been waiting for for years. I still haven’t gotten around to it yet either, but patches are improving things so waiting is good.

Bg3
I would be surprised if this doesnt take it overal this year.
It is my 2nd favourite game of the year, but I am very biased towards fighting games and Street Fighter 6 is so damn good.
There have been just way to many great games this year, and honestly dont have enough time(or money) to get through them all.
People are sleeping on Armored Core 6.
It’s a good game! Though it does have a more narrow appeal than BG3 does.
