Game of the Year

[Metal]

Which game this year would you call Game of the year?

I've heard a lot of people say Pubg however I wouldn't include it because its still in Early Access.

 

I'm torn between Super Mario Odyssey, Legend of Zelda: Botw and Horizon Zero Dawn.

 

Between the two open world games I'd have to say Horizon Zero Dawn because It had a very strong story and combat.

Zelda had a very weak story compared to Skyward Sword and the combat was a very nice change but wish it had more weapons and not a tablet.

 

Mario hands down for me is a game of the year material.

It heavily has many throwbacks to Mario 64 but with Nintendo and Mario, they always try to add something new and evolve.

Adding Cappy into the mix was great. The added movement speed, The advance jumps and the post-game, end-game also add hours of more content. It's as hard as you make it and I felt it was a very easy game but once end game started It was really pushing my skills.

Hope to see DLC and more from Nintendo next year.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

 

Never has a game had the same growth, it's a fucking anomaly.

Super Mario Odyssey, hands down, will be Game of the Year by the fans. Anyone who says any other game will have to fight me hand to hand combat with two switch controllers.

Persona 5 because I'm a loser.

 

BoTW close 2nd.

 

Idk about Mario since I haven't played it.

The mechanics in Mario Odyssey and the fact that you can put so much time into it gets my thumbs up for game of the year. The recognizable controls and the fresh addition of Cappy allows players to play the way they used to play while opening up more doors for experimentation. Not to mention the fact that those who dare to explore are usually rewarded for their great feats. It starts off easy at first, which kind of made me uncomfortable since I like challenging games. However, once you make it past the first couple of worlds and also after you finish the game, the challenge really begins as they test your skills and see if you've truly found out how the game works.

 

Zelda was amazing too. I'm not much of a fan for stories, so that really didn't matter to me. Just exploring around and experimenting with the different weapons and enemies gave such a great experience for me. The addition of the tablet really opened up different types of strategies that you could bring into battle. Seemed too easy for me overall, but I plan on playing it

In Master Mode later on.

 

Persona 5 will always hold a place in my heart. If anything, this game made me appreciate strategy and turn-based games even more. Its story and relationship system has so much to give. Players who are determined enough to create the strongest bond with a character will be properly rewarded with the satisfaction of helping that character while also providing useful skills in either combat or in the real world, giving players more options on how to defeat enemies and overcome obstacles. I'm still planning on how to get Max bonds with everyone because of how satisfying it is to be able to help out the character in their time of need. It really adds to the immersion of the current situation Atlus puts you in.

 

Won't count PUBG cause I haven't played it and it's still in early beta iirc. I also remember some people saying it's buggy, which is expected from games in the beta stage.

 

 

Haven't played Horizon: Zero Dawn, but I'm sure it's good if it managed to get on that list.
