Too early for me to say, its truly not a year yet until November 11th or so. Waiting for Forza Horizon 5 to hit 1st.
But so far really enjoyed Demon's Souls, Returnal, Psychonauts 2, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, Death Stranding Directors Cut, FF7 Remake Integrate and Diablo 2 Resurrected.
Waiting for Forza Horizon 5 as I said and Halo Infinite to hit but that's going into the year 2 territory because it comes out in December.
Honestly, I do not think there is such a thing as a favorite game anymore for me. I am 31 years old and when someone asks me if God of War 2018 is better than Sea of Thieves or vice versa, my answer is neither. Simply because I love both of those games for a variety of different reasons, they are also very very different games from 1 another and you can't really compare.
I guess it would boil down too my playtime, but that's reaching for it to be fair. A lot of good games this year despite the delays.
However, I wil say that whatever year Bloodborne 2 or Bloodborne Remaster comes out. That would be the game for me for the best of the year.
Next most likely Elden Ring will take the spot.
I have a strong bias towards From Software titles. I won't lie. But as I said previously, it doesn't mean that these From Software games are better than others, it just happens to be the ones I love and enjoy the most when I spend my time playing them on a personal level, while still totally down to playing other games as well. I don't know if this makes any sense I probably sound very contradicting and its hard to explain it lol.
