Are we allowed to include DLC? Very few games have taken my interest this year, but two that stand out is the DLC for Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree and Phantom Liberty for CP2077. Both are the only times I have really sat down and had a lengthy gaming session and been wanting to come back and play some more. Otherwise, my other choice would be Space Marines 2 I had a lot of fun playing through SM2 but it's also not a game where I'm already thinking about my next playthrough which I am with ER and CP2077.
