I’m 43 and still enjoying playing games. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Hogwarts Legacy are some of the best games I’ve ever played (along with Sifu and a nice little puzzle game called, Humanity). Highly recommend them. I don’t have a lot of time to play them, so they take a lot longer to complete, but I hope to try some of the others on your list at some point too, Chris. Keep up the great work and all the best to you over the Christmas period.

[@Cornholio_X]

I borrowed from a friend of mine to play Hogwarts Legacy and definitely a great game. Spider-Man 2 was my favorite and no doubt the best game i enjoyed this year. Also finished God of War Ragnarok and Final Fantasy 16 this year. Avatar is something i'll wait for a big discount. It was a good year for gaming. Star wars jedi survivor or AC Mirage is probably i'll get for New Year's present.

[@Kumire_921]

Get Jedi Survivor, AC Mirage sucked imo

[@The-Legend-of-P]

How do you put Spider-Man 2 over ff16? Ff16 is leagues better and sm2 was so much wasted potential and just so surface level. To basic for 5 year “growth”

Spiderman 2 was my game of the year with Alan wake 2 being a close second. I loved all the games I played this year. Jedi Survivor, Final Fantasy 16, and Resident Evil 4 remake were also fantastic games.

Will have to say Cyberpunk (after all updates etc) The vibe of that game is just awesome. Spend most of my time getting destroyed in warzone though lol. 😜

Hogwarts was my first ps5 game when we got the console for christmas last year. And im not a huge potter fan, but that game was awesome.

[@Jo_Gameplays]

Just got a ps5 last week and i bought spider man 2 for my first ps5 game, as well as the ps5 on the same day. Incredibly good game. I totally recommend the visual mode over the performance mode if you have a 4k hdr tv or monitor as it just looks so gorgeous and colourful. It also has the full ray tracing and very high res textures. The performance mode is fine but a little choppy sometimes running it at 60 fps but the visual mode is locked at 30 (smooth for 30 fps), and didnt stutter once. Fav game for me so far

[@Noob20Yes]

Nah spider man 2 is terrible i reccomend teardown and roblox😊

[@notme6753]

I was not planning on playing FFXVI at first as I was traumatized for playing FFXV and thought that XVI would be the same. As it turns out I had a great time playing XVI... Definitely one of the best games I played this year.

@@true_gamer39 It's the story.. I'm the type to only play the base version of the game without any DLCs... FFXV story felt so incomplete and you have to watch an anime, a movie and DLCs to get the full story. Fortunately the base FFXVI has a complete story and I'm satisfied with it.

I am currently playing the VR mode for RE4 and I can say this for certain, that it feels 10x more immersive and scary in VR. Personally, I don't think I would be able to play this in VR if I hadn't finished the game once as the jump scares are way too much for me to handle in VR so it makes it a little easier to play this game as I have a rough idea of what comes next. But it is a must play for anyone who is a RE fan and owns a PSVR2

[@SpawnPoiint]

Haha I feel you on the jump scares. I imagine it’s a lot better in VR. I need to get on it.

[@arokh72]

I'm 51 and have been gaming since I was 14. I started on a Commodore 16 (the cheaper version of the Commodore 64) and then an IBM XT clone. These days, I mix PC gaming and console gaming, as each offers something for me. My poor PS5 has been a bit overworked this year, well I did get it this year, BG3 is my standout, though I have enjoyed Horizon Forbidden West and Burning Shores, I just love the universe of the series. Hogwarts has been a lot of fun for me, go Ravenclaw. I don't mind arcade racers, so I'll give The Crew Motorfest a run (hint hint Santa), not sold on Avatar yet, though I do love cinematic universe. With that free DLC, it might be time to give GoW a go.

[@Joe-kn4es]

Coming from a guy who HATES turn based games, Baldur's Gate 3 has AMAZED me. have already clocked in 33 hours in the game in a span of a week or so. Took me a while to understand the rules and watch 1-2 hours of guides and videos, but once I got the hang of the combat, although turn based, no game has impressed me this much since Red Dead Redemption 2. The turn-based combat may kind of be a little unappealing, as it was for me initially, but as you progress to level 5, there are so many abilities and freedom to do whatever you want that the game just has you hooked on the combat and strategizing and then excitedly waiting for the other player's move. The combat never feels repetitive because each move makes you think. That's what I appreciate in this game as I'm getting older now and been playing games since I was a kid. I'm 26 now. You can throw a bottle of grease, then cast a fire bolt to burn your enemies. You can put poop on your face to persuade goblins to avoid combat with them. You can use the environment around you to kill your enemies. It never stops, and every decision you make alters the game and relationships. It's the best RPG. This is coming from a guy who never in a million years liked turn based combat. This is different because it's like chess but a 3d, cool video game. I bought one month of Playstation premium for $20 to try BG3 for 2 hour demo and the intro video alone was worth it for me. Also, the physical edition CD comes out in early Q1 2024 in case you buy it and don't like it & want to sell it.
