There's been a lot of great games this year, but BG3 just barely beats the competition for me. Alan Wake 2, TOTK, Hi-fi Rush, and Lethal Company have all been great experiences as well though.

Throughout the year I played:
-Secret of Mana (haven't played in 15 years or so. Game still holds up)
-Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (and the Torna DLC). The main story is fantastic. A bit quantity of quality with all the Blades.
-The Legend of Zelda: TOTK. This game is great. Ultra hand blows this game wide open
-Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Finish this one up now and about to start the DLC. Story IMO is the poorest of the 3 games. But they took the best of the first two game's battle mechanics and improved that system.
Probably XC2. It was a lot of fun.
Perfect Tides.
Well Tears of the Kingdom ate up about 4 months of the year for me. Bomb Rush Cyberfunk was a game I had been waiting 20 years to play. So that was really nice. I just wish there was more of it to be honest haha.
Resident evil 4 remake and Bloodborne were my next favorites.
Lingo. It tickles my brain in wonderful ways. I'm currently working through the custom level Liduongo, sequel to an earlier map named Duolingo, and I continue to be surprised, delighted, and utterly perplexed.
It's a rules-based puzzler that doesn't tell you the rules buried in a confusing labyrinth. The only downside is that it requires a strong grasp of English, limiting its audience.
Baulders gate 3 for sure. I mean in a few months it's already more than half the hours of my most played game. I love the characters and the way I can effect the outcome of different events, and I love exploring it all again with different character combos.
I really liked Kingdom Two Crowns even though it was a bit short for a base builder.
Guild Wars 2
BLACKTAIL
It really sucked me in their world
Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed
I'm a huge fan of the series and this is one of the best entries, even though it's a DLC campaign.

Probably Remnant 2 although Hi-Fi Rush is close behind.
Really enjoyed valheim. Not sure it was my fave but really enjoyable. A game I can just keep going back to.

Probably a toss up between Hi-Fi Rush, Doom Eternal, and Guilty Gear Strive. I suck at fighting games, but I love learning all the unique mechanics of the characters.
Crusader Kings III. I‘m scared to turn it on by now cause it always makes days disappear for me.
It's close between Baldurs Gate 3 and Nioh 2.
BG3 is just that good, but Nioh 2 is one of my all time favorites, and I finally cleared everything in the game, early 2023.

Replayed RDR2 on the PS5, most fun I've had with a game in a while.
How did you feel it was different from the first time around ? Ive been meaning to pay it a second time but haven't quite took the leap yet.
The first time I felt like I spent most of my time in cutscenes and figuring out what to do. The second time I just plowed through the main story and enjoyed the ride.
Generation zero
Mechabellum
Vampire Survivors and its horde of clones
Sludge Life. Was such a fun little world with a killer art style. Has some really funny moments in it. I saw there were achievements for different endings so I may go back to it at some point to and try for those. Oh and a cool OST to go along with it
Demon Souls. Gadamn it's good...
