I put about 300 hours into No Man’s Sky this year.
What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )

It’s hard to pick. None really stand out that much among the rest but probably Ghost of Tsushima or Chivalry II.

Replying to agree with your position on GoT. Kept trying it after it first released but some other game would always come up and take over. While I loved tears of the kingdom, Spiderman 2, and a slew of other releases this year, GoT strands out for me. I’m terms of gameplay, story, and definitely visuals. While not perfect in everything, it was amazingly good in so many ways. Glad I finally got around to it. Now to keep hitting that back pile of unplayed gems.

Geometry Dash. It’s the only game I played this year. So far, at least.
Stety@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Phoenix Wright.
I recently bought a ds lite in a second hand store and found that game to be one of the most fun ones. Scribblenauts is also quite fun.
brenticus@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Chants of Sennaar. Thought it would fun, turned out to be probably my favourite thing I played this year.
BG3, TOTK, and Vampire Survivors are all very up there as well. Really great year for games.

Pretty easily Hunt Showdown with honorable mention to Remnant II, Northgard, and Age of Wonders 4

The Forest and Sons of the forest. Haven’t been happier playing this - unique as hell and gave me similar vibes as Subnautica. :)
LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
I finally picked up Exanima after years of being out of by the early access, but damn what a unique and engaging experience. Reminds me of the first time I played Morrowind or Demon’s/Dark Souls.
It’s a game where your own experience as a player is your greatest asset. I highly recommend it for anyone into slow dungeon crawling and looking for a challenge unlike anything else.

Vampire Survivors completely drew me in this year.
A couple of years ago, I was having dreams of designing train lines in Cities Skylines. A couple of days ago I was having a dream of weapon combos in Vampire Survivors. That's how you spot a good and influential game.
The_Vampire@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Hard to pick. I would say my favorite new game is Slay the Princess. My favorite game I’ve returned to, and I returned to a lot this year, is Deep Rock Galactic. Rock and stone, brother.

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.

Really enjoyed valheim. Not sure it was my fave but really enjoyable. A game I can just keep going back to.
StephniBefni@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.

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.
Lazhward@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Perfect Tides.
Crystal_Shards64@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
avater@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Guild Wars 2

I finally finished Zelda II this year and really enjoyed it.
SpookyUnderwear@eviltoast.org 10 months ago
That game gets shit on a lot, but I’ve always enjoyed it. People don’t like it because it’s different.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 10 months ago
From this year: BG3
From before this year: Dwarf Fortress

Spider-Man: Miles Morales got its Steam release in November of last year, but I didn’t get to it until after New Years. The Steam Deck handled it really well, which just makes me pissed that Insomniac signed a PlayStation exclusivity agreement for Spider-Man 2.

A Plague Tale: Requiem.
To be fair, 2023 was the year I played the most games I’d consider masterpieces, so the list goes on, but Requiem got up there immediately as my favourite ever and it’s been “living in my head rent-free” ever since.

Xenoblade 3: Future Redeemed
I’m a huge of the series and this is one of the best entries, even though it’s a DLC campaign.
SpookyUnderwear@eviltoast.org 10 months ago
Awesome. Finishing up XC3 (at about 175 hours). Plan to start FR sometime next month.
criss_cross@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Just started this one but Afterimage is becoming a big favorite of mine. A really great Metroidvania game.
Older, but also played Frostpunk. It’s a really great twist on a city building game. Highly recommended.
One odd ball I’ll throw out is Last Case of Benedict Fox. It’s a complete mess of a game, but the exploration and puzzles are a lot of fun. I never realized how much I want a metroidvania where you go around just solving puzzles. If LCBF just dropped all combat and focused on puzzle-solving it would have been a lot better.

BLACKTAIL
It really sucked me in their world
Lemminary@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I really liked Kingdom Two Crowns even though it was a bit short for a base builder.
Renacles@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
Probably Remnant 2 although Hi-Fi Rush is close behind.
Kinakuta@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.

Kerbal Space Program! Sunk 20 hours into that one over the last two days alone!
eldnikpw@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Age of Empires IV. It’s an RTS, so you need to multitask. I find it more difficult to play than souls-likes or other timing games, but I enjoy the struggle. I’ve only played 3 out of 16 factions available but I’m hyped that there’s probably more content to come. Especially since their newly released expansion was said to be the bestselling expansion for all their AOE games.
Renacles@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
I second AoE4, I started playing this year and made it to conqueror recently, it does a great job at teaching you mechanics in a very intuitive way.
