The game I enjoyed the most this year is Lords of the Fallen even though it had a few launch issues I absolutely loved it.
Honorable mentions to Armored Core 6, Lies of P, Remnant 2, FF16 and Monster Hunter Rise (gamepass).
I've built up a bit of a backlog since the recent multiple decent sales these include Resi 4 remake, Monster Hunter Rise and Sunbreak (PS5), Baldurs Gate 3, Destiny 2 Lightfall (currently addicted again) and AC Mirage.
This year I have stupidly pre ordered Rise of the Ronin and Dragons Dogma 2 even though they release on the same day (I should have waited for a sale on one of them). I have a physical copy of Granblue Fantasy Relink on pre ordered thanks to an Amazon gift card I had from my brother for Xmas. If Elden Ring DLC releases anytime soon I already have enough games to see me through the whole year (not even mentioning Black Myth Wukong probably my most highly anticipated release).
