I definitely consider Elden Ring to be the best open world game released in the past few years, the open world is vast and filled with challenging enemies and exploration is rewarded by either getting a new weapon, a new spell, you name it.
That being said, I still have my own problems with it, there are a LOT of recycled bosses in this game, there's a huge difficulty spike towards the endgame that makes you feel like all of the experience and levels that you gained before then feel almost pointless, some bosses are incredibly unfair to fight and desperately need to be nerfed, (Godskin Duo, Elden Beast) regardless, I still enjoy the hell out of this game and it's still one of my favorite games of this year, I just hope that Fromsoft fixes some of these issues that plague, not just me, but a lot of players.

Sega, you had such a fun and unique take on the racing game formula, why did you have to go and turn Sonic into Mario Kart with Team Sonic Racing?!
Okay, with that out of the way, I do actually quite enjoy this game, the dynamic between Team Sonic (yes, I'm still calling them that) and the Babylon Rogues is really engaging and I still find it really amazing that Jason Griffith voiced both Sonic and Jet.
Also, the racing is so unique and fun and way cooler than having Sonic drive a car, SEGA!
And I know a lot of people ask, "Why does Sonic ride a board when he's faster than the speed of sound?"
Well, that's simple, Sonic knows that he can win a race very easily by just using his feet, but he feels that that's too easy, so he just plays along and uses a board, there ya go.

Talk about a huge improvement over the original, not only is the combat so much more fluent with being able to swap stances out, but the bosses are so much more fun and challenging this time around.
Not to mention, traversal is a lot more fun, too, whereas the first game had you climb things very slowly until you get to a certain point in the game, this one allows you to climb fast right out of the gate, which is a welcome improvement, AND fast travel is now a thing, (Don't remember if that was a thing in Fallen Order or not, correct me if I'm wrong) which is good when you come back to certain areas later.
And the STORY, wow, the story is definitely one of the best Star Wars stories that I've ever experienced.
Definitely one of my favorite games of this year.

This was my second full playthrough of Ghost of Tsushima and just like the first time, it was just as amazing, the visual upgrades and the lack of loading screens really makes this game feel more seamless than it's PS4 counterpart.
I did like the new version of Jin's flashback to his father's death being the one from Iki Island instead, that was really neat, plus more cinematic than the original one imo.
But yeah, just like it's PS4 counterpart, it's up there with being one of my favorite PlayStation Exclusives.

QuanticDream's best game imo, when you play and see all of the paths that you can take in the game, you can definitely see why the game took so long to release, all of the characters you play is are really engaging and their story changes immensely depending on how you play with them, I'd say two of my favorite characters to play in this game would have to be Marcus and Connor, but those seem like pretty popular choices.
Also, having Clancy Brown playing Hank Anderson leaves the floor open for many Mr Krabs jokes, let's be honest here.
The ending I got in my first playthrough of the game was a really bad one and I have yet to achieve the perfect ending to the game in my spare time, I will definitely revisit this game and achieve that in the future.

This is the best Sonic game that we have had in years!
Every single character was treated so well in this game and it is a huge redemption from whatever the hell Forces was.
And the gameplay is just so much fun, this is probably the first Sonic game that I'll ever platinum, it's definitely worth doing so in my opinion.
I really hope that the next game brings Shadow back as a main character and does him justice, too, with Sonic 3 coming up, it would be a good time for them to bring him back into the spotlight.
Also, love how Sega have just fully embraced Big being able to end up in places for no rhyme or reason.

While I do agree that this game is better than Sonic Forces, I don't agree with the people that say that this is the best Sonic game ever made and that Sonic should've just stayed in 2D and that he never worked in 3D, because the character DOES work in 3D, it's just that newer 3D Sonic titles aren't really that great anymore and most people's opinions on 3D Sonic games are based off of the fact that the 3D Sonic games that worked have aged poorly, which I also disagree with, and I also think that this game is incredibly overrated, I mean, c'mon, this game is basically Sonic 1, 2, 3 and Knuckles, and CD, but with better graphics and a few new stages.
That being said, it's still a good game, I just wouldn't call it the best Sonic game.
And I'm not trying to mock people who like this game in any way, you are free to like this game if you want and you are also free to think that it's the best Sonic game, this is just my two cents worth.
