Jedi Survivor is a fantastic follow-up to Fallen order, taking the crew of the Mantis to new sights while also expanding the Star Wars mythos to new levels. In a time when Star Wars seems to be lacking in creativity, Respawn is breathing life into a galaxy far far away with the story of Cal Kestis, who has already become one of my favorite additions to Star Wars canon. The amount of customization in both appearance and gameplay helps create a perfect Star Wars experience that many newer games in the franchise have yet to achieve.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is another welcome addition to the Spider-Man mythos. While it does tread very familiar waters with the symbiote storyline, I found insomniacs' take to be fun and engaging from start to finish. Yuri Lowenthal and Nadji Jeter once again kill it as Peter and Miles, with Yuri's symbiote performance taking the cake. This game however does have some flaws when I take away my rose-tinted glasses, such as weird pacing issues and story beats that don't hit as hard as the original 2018 game, but the combat and web-slinging are the best they have ever been. It's a really fun game, and one I would definitely recommend to any Spider-Man fan.
Nier Automata is another amazing success from Platinum Games. The story, gameplay, and characters created a very enjoyable experience that still has me just as hooked as it did before. 2B has become a gaming icon from this game, and Nier really helps cement itself as one of the most thought-provoking and soulful games ever made.
