so far, leading the way is NieR: Automata (53hrs), a game where I regret absolute none of the minutes spent with it. GOTY for certain.
The rest of my top 3 are the hours I spent near the start of the year with Final Fantasy XV (36hrs) and Yakuza 0 (33hrs). I actually loved this Final Fantasy more than most, I really loved the whole thing of just guys being friends, it's something I rarely seen done as well as on display here. I also loved the combat which I know many hated. Despite its flaws, I thought it had enough in the characters and the world for it to easily be worth my time. Yakuza, meanwhile, was something I wasn't expecting to adore, but absolutely did. I bought it after seeing all the incredibly positive feedback on here and I'm so glad I did. Incredibly fun game, amazing story and now I'm in love with a series I never thought I would be.
