It's solid but Origins is definitely not the best Arkham game.
Crazy that they still haven't fixed the analog input being limited to just 8 directions for MGS1. Glad I didn't buy it.
PS1 games tend to pale in comparison to PS2 games though. It might be the single biggest leap in game quality which in itself is transformative. I think there's a good argument for that jump too.
And SD->HD was an incredible time, not just for graphics but for gameplay possibilities and physics due to a much stronger CPU. Even mediocre games felt very impressive and "THIS LOOKS LIKE REAL LIFE!" was a common sentiment. haha
So I think all ...
Got no points recently after spending €140. 🗿
Would hope when Sony fixes this that I'll get the points for that.
The second NaughtyDog show their next game, I think we all know that any concern about them leaving a mark will be gone. NaughtyDog publicly stated that they're working on multiple big single player games and when they're shown off they'll be closer to release. Demoing TLOU2 3 years early caused some crunch so they're avoiding that now.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is Tango's worst game and doesn't belong on a list like this.
It should probably be replaced with either Returnal, Spider-Man 2, Resident Evil 4, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Cyberpunk 2077/Phantom Liberty, Baldur's Gate 3 or Alan Awake 2. There's too many better choices than Ghostwire than I have the time to list, tbh.
I miss MAG. 🗿
100% agree. I suggest people watch DigitalFoundry's video for a non-clickbait, competent analysis: https://youtu.be/XCmoZ8Rxiq...
Completely agree. DigitalFoundry even said that the game looks great and that the lack of these features for a fighting game prioritising response time makes sense.
PS4 Pro patches set PS5 backwards combability up to be WAY better, making the PS5 a better console. That alone justifies it. They were objectively a good thing for consumers. Even if you don't get a PS5 Pro, it will benefit you in the future when you get a PS6.
"Like I've said above, developers haven't even got started with what we have now,"
That's not true though. Non cross-gen games like Final Fantasy 16, Baldur's Gate 3, ...

Metal: Hellsinger recently added a roguelite mode and ... I've been playing a lot of it. Highly recommend that game.
I actually added Tinykin to my wishlist just the other day. haha. I was surprised by how great it seems - never heard of it until then. Seems to have been extremely overlooked compared to something like A Hat In Time despite better reviews.
Gave it a go - this mode is exactly what the game needed (besides maybe a campaign DLC).
Metal: Hellsinger and Trepang2 are the best FPS games I've played in a good while and they're both from small dev teams.
The game has been selling very well on console though.
They went out of their way to get it to play well with a controller. The UI, movement, inventory menus, etc are quite different.
If you look at the GTA5 reveal trailer compared to this one, the jump is absolutely massive, tbh. https://youtu.be/QkkoHAzjnU...
Even multiple releases later, GTA5 now still looks so flat and undetailed by comparison. https://youtu.be/VNbONMSObf...
Could you give a timestamp to any shot in the trailer that looks ugly?
I bought Sable a while back because it seems like a game I'd love and the art style is amazing but ... dear God ... https://youtu.be/mIJ7EjKhN-... The framerate is like a car that's conking out and about to die. It stutters all over the place, especially on the bike. It's not very playable.
You can get used to a low framerate but not this. It's like this on every platform and ...
It's a particularly childish form of deflection. Hi-Fi Rush got quite a few nominations because it's actually a great game and deserves them.
Last year Stray and A Plague Tale: Requiem were nominated for GOTY. Hi-Fi Rush would have made the top 6 last year.
But it's fair to say that this year was stacked (the best year for games in a while) so it didn't make it but neither did a lot of high quality games so it's no slight against it. S...
Nice to see The Talos Principle 2 get some love too. A lot of great puzzle games this year like it and Chants Of Sennaar are getting barely any attention.
Even weirder, Take Two owns the rights to the Max Payne IP and Remedy are doing Max Payne remakes.
This must be incredibly awkward.
