Steam Replay is out, so what game did you have the most fun experiencing this year?
Removed by mod
Call of duty black ops 3. Most of that time was spent in custom zombies maps, but the third party client that cleans up the cheater problem that plagues every old cod let me enjoy some occasional multiplayer, which despite being apart of the infamous jetpack era, I actually quite enjoy
Under Night In-Birth II [Sys:Celes]
UNI finally gets rollback, which means I finally gave the series a shot. The GRD system is a very unique concept that adds an additional layer of trying to win the advantage state, then pressing the advantage when you have it or respecting the opponent’s advantage when they do. And Vatista is just a very fun character to play, I’m having a blast with her.
Hollow Knight, and it may never be dethroned. Although The Finals gets an honorable mention as it would have taken top seat in any other year.
Factorio. And Cities: Skylines 2 if I’m playing it on Windows.
Factorio just makes hours disappear, it’s an amazing game! Have you played the expansion?
played? Past tense? You must be joking
Damn, you got me!

Disco Elysium
I know it did not release this yer, but I got to it now, so it is GOTY for me.
Haven’t really found anything particularly interesting from this year, so I’ve been playing mostly older games: my favorites were probably Trails from Zero/Azure and Chrono Trigger.
Some games I’m mixed on were Final Fantasy XIV and Metaphor ReFantazio. Both of them have parts I really enjoy, but also feel like they never reach the heights they could, both in gameplay and writing.
Helldivers II, baby!
Im a simple man. I see bugs or bots, I spread managed democracy onto them.
Sekiro. Played it a few months ago and I still think about it all the time. Amazing.
A Plague Tale: Requiem was so so soooo good, especially after Innocence, which was a pretty bad game in general IMO
Nine Sols. Really underrated metroidvania that flew under the radar for many people.
UFO 50 without a doubt. Most creative bang for your buck that’s ever been released imo
Tactical Breach Wizards
No love for Against the Storm? Technically it released 8th of December last year, but that’s not enough time for it to be able to get GotY for 2023, so it’s got to fit in here. (also I only played it after new years)
Other than that Balatro has got to be a strong contender for me. PoE2 is looking more and more likely to take it home next year for me.
