I need to finish Metaphor (or at least make more progress, cause let's be real I'm not finishing it before the end of the year) before I can make my list.

Game of the Year Yeah it might be DLC but this expansion is bigger than most full priced games so sorry not sorry, I easily spent more time this year playing Elden Ring again than anything else. With this much content, including the new weapon classes, it's more than worth the $40 asking price. Runner-up Admittedly, this game went through a rough patch and a few controversies, but it eventually landed in a pretty good state. This is one of the most fun multiplayer games I've played with friends in years, to the point where sometimes even dying can be fun when everything is so over the top and covered in explosions. This is one of those multiplayer games where you make your own stories by taking part in some truly insane battles full of setpiece moments that you yourself orchestrate. Throw in the fact that the monetization is usually pretty reasonable and it's hard to go wrong with Helldivers 2.

It's that time of the year again! Game of the Year (But not really because it's DLC): MORE Elden Ring, that's all I wanted, all I needed, all I could ever ask for, and it delivered. Found some of my favourite weapons and armour in this DLC, the bosses were pretty cool for the most part, the soundtrack was amazing. A most excellent addition to an already awesome game. Game of the Year (this time's for real): The Emperor is pleased. First one was fun, but with some issues, this sequel improves on pretty much every aspect while still keeping what made the original so fun to play. Tons of enemies, lots of cool weapons to fight said enemies with, customization, co-op, everything is here! The story is pretty decent, and all I could ask for in a game like this "here's a cool/badass reason for you to go somewhere and kick ass".
