I'll also mention that Grounded and Pentiment were among my favourite games last year.

I'm not even that big on survival/crafting games, the only other ones i've liked are Subnautica and Valheim. its among the best in that genre imo.

Obsidian have been doing some of their best work in recent years imo (though i'd say New Vegas is still their best)

My personal favourite, is The Witcher 3

a bit more objectively, maybe Divinity Original Sin 2

Dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome at the moment, so nothing unfortunately. Will probably start on Diablo IV once I can at least use a controller again.

its being made my Massive Entertainment who are probably their best studio though. Even if they aren't your cup of tea, the Division games are very well made. before Ubisoft bought the studio they made World in Conflict which was a fantastic RTT game.

I think this has a shot at being really good

Yeah, the story was very bland and uninteresting. Once I got bored of the gameplay, I stopped playing as the story did not have enough juice to make me want to see it through, granted Im not a huge Harry Potter guy.

I'm probably the only one who preferred the more RPG-Witcher 3 style direction they'd gone in.

Valhalla was a top-3 AC game for me, easy. they just needed to make those games shorter with less copy/paste content.

definitely GP. this game will move some subs for MS on there I imagine

I have mixed feelings about it.

said as much in the showcase thread, but I think my main concern is that the setting/universe looks very generic. my favourite part of Bethesda games is the atmosphere and immersion that comes from having these well-established universes with interesting lore, and maps that are very densely detailed and fun to explore.

I just feel like nothing in this reveal made the setting seem particularly interesting, with a lot of procedurally generated blandness. seems like it will have a lot of cool systems and ideas but I fear I will find it dull.

yea, very curious about this one. I think Massive are an excellent and honestly underrated dev team. probably Ubisofts best studio at this point

Bethesda games have a history of struggling on console especially. I think its something to do with their engine.

I remember hearing that Fallout 4 had drastic performance problems on console, but ran OK on PC.
