    Mine was fire emblem engage!! I loved it so much I beat it twice in a row! Going to revisit for a third time to take it down on Maddening mode one day.

    Such an honest and refreshing take on a game of a year list. That's what I like most about your channel. I'm looking forward to jumping into Assassin's Creed Mirage and Forspoken when I get the chance.
    Some game highlights for me this year were Hogwarts Legacy, Final Fantasy 16, Star Ocean The Second Story R and Mario RPG Remake. My personal game of the year would have to be FF 16 (which had it's own fair share of criticism). I absolutely loved it!

    It's the third time I think I see you mentioning the Star Ocean Divine Force, it really got me interested, never played a game from this franchise before , it seemed to me to be a good entry point for the series!

    Your thoughts on Forspoken and Assassin’s Creed Mirage ran completely counter to much of what I’ve heard (well, perhaps not completely, but I like that you’re pointing out elements that appealed to you rather than painting broadly). So maybe I ought to try them for myself. Also, with the Christmas vibe and the book this was a very comfy video.

  • @tzovlask
    @tzovlask Před 7 měsíci +1

    Merry Christmas Irene! I am that one person who agrees with you on Forspoken, I loved that game so much!
    My GOTY picks for 2023;
    5) Metroid Prime Remastered - I never playedc the OG version, but after playin this, I understand
    4) Resi Evil 4 Remake - I never playedc the OG version, but after playin this, I understand (haha)
    3) Remnant 2 - this one doersnt get the love it deserves, everyone forgot about it for some reason
    2) Alan Wake 2 - what a trippy game. Exciting. Riveting
    1) Bulders Gate 3 - man I love how other large AAA franchised crapped themselves because of how goo this is haha
    Honorable mentions;
    * Forspoken - I actually liked Frey. It was refreshing that she wasnt some pretty girl who is perfect, I enjoyed her jank. Also best magic of the year for me!
    * Hogwarts Legacy - not only is it polished, it is well made, well written. Honestly, the game awards were a complete joke this year!
    * Zelda TOTK - I do not want to hear any excuses from anyone about how the switch is not powerful enough to run games. I dont understand how they made this work on Switch, but it sure puts Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to shame!
    * Spiderman 2 - I really enjoyed this, it was an improvement from the first one. I just wish that quest designs were more creative, especially when spidey has so many moves/traversal ability. I loved it anyway!
    * Star Wars Jedi Survivor - Again it improved itself from the first instalment. I liked it. There is something that just doesnt feel Star Wars to be about it, but I still had a good time!
    * Cocoon - if you have gamepass, play it. Honestly, in your words, this is such a game. Such a game. All you use is one bution and the left stick but it is such a game
    Games I want to play later;
    *Sea of Stars
    *Fire Emblem Engage
    *Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 with Phantom Liberty
    *Armoured Core 6
    *Super Mario Wonder (might play this today lol)
    *Octopath Traveller 2
    *Star Ocean Second Story R
    *Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

    I am really glad you gave forspoken a chance and loved it, I still haven’t played yet. There are too many games this year. People love to hate things, which I find too stressful to watch and I really appreciate watching your positivity.
    My list:
    1. FF16
    2. Xenoblade chronicles future redeemed
    3. Zelda TOTK
    4. Legend of heros trails to azure
    5. Star ocean divine force (I am still to play second story r remake, or whatever the official title is, but looks amazing)
    Honourable mentions:
    - master detective archive - rain code . This was pretty fun, i really want the game to get a sequel
    -fire emblem engage - I had a lot of fun battling
    - final fantasy 6 - I am only just starting, I love that the brought the final fantasy original games to ps5 and I can play them. I am sure I will enjoy going through the games 1-6, now that I have them

  • @snowenn
    @snowenn Před 7 měsíci

    With a huge backlog, I mostly played games not released in 2023. I only played 5 new releases:
    5: Roots of Pacha: Cozy life/farm sim. I got stuck somewhere which caused the game to stagnate. So I went through phases of being totally addicted and phases of being bored in 30 minutes.
    4: Star Ocean Second Story R: Does this even count? The original game was far older. I never played the original and I enjoyed this for the beautiful graphics, nice music and incredible quality of life updates. For me, it was fairly obvious that this is an older game and it has some issues with story pacing and the optional characters have minimal impact on the story. I enjoyed it anyway.
    3: Sea of Stars: I loved the visuals, music, puzzles, verticality of the levels and the combat. The story and main protagonists are somewhat lacking, though the story picks up in the later parts.
    2: Forspoken: Just like you, I loved it. I was addicted to it and tried killing as many mobs as I could because I enjoyed the combat so much. I've never played such a parcouring game before and it was fun. It did have some pacing issues, the first tanta took way more time than the later ones. Maybe some content was cut? And it would have been cool if there would have been another city or village with living people to be discovered somewhere. The one city was a bit lacking. I didn't mind the banter with cuff at all.
    1: Final Fantasy 16: This game is far from perfect. Equipment is a bit of a joke, and the environment is really beautiful but there's nothing to find when exploring. I loved the characters and the story. The game looks amazing and the title screen music gives me the chills.
    I enjoyed the non-2023 games a lot more actually. Some of my highlights in no particular order:
    * Graveyard Keeper: I was so addicted to this game. Unfortunately the expansions introduce soft locks and crashes (at least on PS4) and the game gets framerate issues the further you get. But it was so much fun. I recommend this to anyone who likes life/farming sim games.
    * Atelier Firis: My first foray into the Atelier series. People warned me not to start with this one, but it's the one I had so I did it anyway. I was pretty lost at first but once I got into the flow I was addicted. Definitely looking forward to playing more of this series!
    * Guardians of the Galaxy: It took some time to get used to the constant party banter, but it's easily the best part of the game. I played this right before seeing the 3rd Guardians movie in the cinema and I remember being disappointed by the movie because I felt the game did a much better job for portraying why I liked the original movie in the first place.
    * Tactics Ogre Reborn: First time playing a strategy RPG. It took some time to get used to all the systems. Then I got addicted to recruiting all kinds of different units. Probably my most played game of 2023 with over 120 hours.
    Honorable mentions:
    * Assassins Creed Revelations: I played this on PS3 and my parents have a tv that does 3D stuff which was compatible with the game. It looked amazing for a PS3 game and the 3D feature made it a very special experience. Though I think Assassins Creed games aren't really my kind of thing.
    * Trails in the Sky series: I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with these games. But I'm totally hooked on the overarching story and I can't wait to see how it continues!

    Great list for 2023 games of the year!. I love your top 5!!. I agree with you. Forspoken was also my best game of the year. I did almost everything in that game. I am only one trophy for platinum. I also enjoyed Assassins' Creed Mirage and Fae Farm. I am still getting back to some games I haven't finished yet, like you say. You can't play all the games at once... I have been also playing some other games like Remnant 2, Persona 5 Tactica and Lies of P. which I personally put them in my top 10 games of this year. Thanks for your videos. Keep them coming!. Have a wonderful holidays. Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2024!.

    I definitely agree with your take on forespoken, I never play as a caster but that game made it incredibly fun to use magic. I feel like the character was too unrelated for most people and that's what doomed the game's success but the game itself felt incredible to play.

    I think it's great how you have stood by your enjoyment of a game so many people reported negatively on, so kids for that.
    As for my favorite games, I feel like I'm on a bit of a different wavelength than you as far as games though, even though I greatly enjoy your reviews... but I'll provide my list anyway. Have not had much spare time this year so really only played a handful or bigger games, but I did enjoy:
    Baldurs Gate 3 - so much depth of story here, no-where close to finishing but I really like it.
    Horizon Forbidden West / Burning Shores - I love the lore in this world and the gameplay.
    Slay the Princess (on Steam) just a cool and unique game. I really like the person behind it, Abbey Howard, a comic artist.
    That's it... hope you have a great year filled with wonderful games ahead of you!

    Kudos to you for your honestly. Forspoken was not my game of the year, but I did enjoy it. It's like many people didn't like the protagonist and the dialogue and progressed to manifest that upon all other aspects of the game blindly.
    It was NOWHERE near as bad as many people made it out to be. Not even close. We just live in an age of hyperbole where so many people just ignore nuance in anything.

    Well - I don't mind that you placed Forspoken on the first place. I honestly have fun with that game right now. I love to see you like Valkyrie Elysium. I liked that game very much too. In general I agree with the other games on your list. A few games not on your list are my top games of the year. I name a few in no particular order: The Legend Of Nayuta - Boundless trails, Trails Into Azure, Crymachina and Starfield. But the highlights for me this year where Baldur's Gate 3, and my number one - The Legend Of Heroes - Trails Into Reverie. My god - I love that game!

    Merry Christmas😊 My most played game was Disney dreamlight valley with fae farm and wylde flowers taking 2nd and 3rd. The fact that wylde flowers got so many hours is thanks to the free updates because I'm still playing my original file that I finished the story for last year before the first update. I also got roots of pacha for switch and my sister gave me an Xbox one for an early Christmas present. I've been abusing the game pass and love venba, soul hackers 2, and coral island so far.

I was obsessed with that game! The emotions it gave me and then the depression I felt when it was over was almost too much lol.

    It's hard to enjoy a game when you play as a character that you don't want or care to see succeed, either because it's a bad unrelatable character, or the mission doesn't motivate you at all (which has happened to me). Developers should learn from that.
