Hi gamers, what did you play this year? What was your favourite game?

bonus question - Are you going to grab anything at the Steam winter sale?

BG3, ESO, Going Medieval, Dead by Daylight, and WOW Season of Discovery

i'm not going to pick anything up from the steam sale tbh, everything i want to check out i'll just pirate. games on my list in no particular order are: black geyser, citizen sleeper, crusader kings 3, grounded, little witch in the woods, stoneshard, horizons gate, kenshi, knights of the chalice 2, and ultima 9.

the one game i'll probably pick up is tainted grail the fall of avalon. (there's another tainted grail game by the same dev so beware and don't get confused) seems like a dark ass skyrim and looks cool.

Haven't heard of Fall of Avalon, it looks like exactly my type of game. I am always modding Skyrim to have more realistic and deadly combat, this sounds like it's going for that vibe. I will definitely be checking it out, thanks for the recc!

I don't play any new games ever. I played RE2 which was excellent, I played Last of us concurrently with the TV show and now I'm playing Elden ring.

Battlebit Remastered is great for a few reasons

  • The actual gameplay is a fun Battlefield-adjacent core
  • Destruction is meaningfully integrated into almost all maps (except for one where it's disabled)
  • Nice variety of gamemodes (if you play on community servers because all public ones vote Invasion 24/7)
  • You have to accept an agreement at the start of every match that made a bunch of chuds seethe
  • The game very aggressively bans people who violate that (very basic) agreement
  • Bans are shown globally to all users in game and a lot of the time people reacting to "User was banned for sexism/racism" end up saying some unhinged shit and then they get to join the banwave

I really liked The Wandering Village, which I think is from this last year. It didnt do anything particularly wow but i lost so many hours to it, its just really fun and sweet.

I really enjoyed Secrets of the Obscure expansion for Guild Wars 2. It's been pretty fun and I'm liking some of the characters in that. Also some of the maps are really nice looking. But it felt like a fresh of breath air? Besides that, Project Zomboid was fun earlier this year with some past friends I had. but my most favorite was probably Signalis, minus the anticommunism. The anticommunism that's present in it is really frustrating. But like I wanted to try it last year but couldn't until this year, and I really enjoyed it, and the game just hits the right notes? also I've also played it in a time where im dealing with my own stuff to like grief, like my mom having passed earlier this year. so like I dunno, I just vibed a lot with that game

I think the only game I played this year that came out in 2023 was Armored Core 6 but that game rocks
