Ircha how are you great seeing once again 🥰 you're my favorite KZbinr your very beautiful and adorable

[@TNgirl546]

I am 55 and a woman gamer :) - I love video games and always have. Love your lists and have found some new ones so thanks!! Got a switch this year during quarantine to play animal crossing and I got lost in it. I'm now lost in Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild

[@Seydrey]

I love how you play games that are not as mainstream. I got inspired to play games I wouldn't normally think to pick up because of you. so thanks!

[@ircha]

Excellent! 😁 👍 Thanks ❤️

[@heshamvoiceovers3397]

At first i was casually strolling through your channel but now i must say i agree with most comments here that mention how you're just genuine with expressing the games u really like and i simply feel "you" are expressed through this channel. I mean not acting or just treating it like a talk show. Keep up the awesomeness

[@ircha]

Thank you so much!! ♥️♥️

[@heshamvoiceovers3397]

@@ircha Don't mention it :)!

[@Ngamergal]

I love that the list is 2 part current 2020 and games you played in 2020.

[@Ishayat]

That actually feels like a genuinely made list with games that you actually loved! I also had my eyes on some of the games from your first list! Happy holidays!

[@ircha]

Yeah it's a highly personal list for sure 😅😁👍 thanks!

[@liquid3600]

You always put so much effort into your videos to get relevant clips for things as you talk about it. So many channels with more subs are so lazy and just talk over random gameplay clips that have nothing to do with what they're saying. Your videos are so informative too. So glad I found your channel since I just got a Switch last year and I learned about so many games I want to play by watching your videos! You deserve millions of subs!!

[@ircha]

THANK YOU FOR NOTICING 😁❤️❤️

[@BubbleTea0491]

I also just recently got Astral Chain and it's absolutely fantasic! Also I can understand why people are mad about Cyberpunk 2077 but personally I have to say that I enjoy the game a lot (playing on PC) and I am impressed with how fast they are fixing the bugs now. Anyway, great list and great video! Happy holidays to everyone!

[@fernicusmaximus9282]

Ghost, Animal Crossing, and Final Fantasy 7 remake are my games of the year.

[@brentsummers6296]

Absolutely love your videos! I had to subscribe...very helpful for me, I just recently purchased a switch.

[@WisperingD]

I bought AC Origins whilst being stuck at home this year, and loved every minute of it. One of those good times I’ll always remember

[@davidws316a]

I love your personality in the videos, such charming and funny lol

[@godmode9913]

I glad I found this channel and I like how you thoroughly play through the games. I can tell you are a real gamer. I love your voice and accent to , what accent is it.

[@ircha]

Thank you sooo much

[@Mogajaee]

It's mind blowing that Genshin Impact is a free game... it's been a long time since I've been so into a game that I play it every day. Don't get me started on the music, it's so gorgeous. I'm an OST kinda guy and this games OST is 10/10, so much emotion crafted into it. Qingyun Peaks & Stormterrors Lair themes are incredible! The only annoying thing about the game is the gacha system when you REALLY want one specific character to drop... but that's optional!

[@ircha]

Agree 👍 👍 👍

[@xtranathor8143]

Just wishing for a Keqing banner!

[@imposs8101]

Happy Holidays to you too. Your list was very interesting and yes, I knew what your number one game was going to be haha. I like that you play such different games than what most people are reviewing

[@markm8435]

I got Oninaki because of this video. And I am lovin it. Thank you very much!!!

[@ircha]

Awesome! 😁 Hope you love as much as i did 😙

[@RuthTaylor13]

the two part lists made these videos even better, so much variety

[@ircha]

Thanks 😄😁

[@sidwhitten7126]

Great channel ,love all the content delivered in an adult fashion. thank you.

[@leonlwf]

I've never heard of Death end Request before but I'm going to get it now. Thanks!

[@TannerHartgrove]

Awesome picks! I just started playing Oninaki, and holy heck I am loving it. After that I’m gonna finally clear some of my backlog lol. Starting with Astral Chain 😎

[@bryandesannico6656]

I just discovered this channel and I think I'm obsessed..

[@hollowedsenpai733]

Genshin Impact is also my GOTY. I hate the resin system(since I like to grind and max out my characters) but I still had the most fun with this game this year. Games are starting to lose their charm as I grow older so it was such a surprise how much I enjoyed this game.

[@xtranathor8143]

Thanks to your video, and a sale, I've now purchased Death End Re: Quest 1&2!

[@ircha]

I really hope you enjoy them and take your time with them! Very story heavy, like I said in the video :D

[@xtranathor8143]

@@ircha suits me just fine! Only type of reading I really enjoy :) Thank you so much for highlighting them!

[@andyk9735]

My No.1 game for 2020 is Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. I sunk 127 hours into this sucker - and loved every single second of it. It was also my first time exploring the Bionis as I missed the original on Wii. I haven't been so immersed in a game in a long long time. Can't wait to play XCX and XC2 now. Astral Chain and Tales of Berseria get honourable mentions as I played these two this year also, and really enjoyed both.

[@karnige5804]

I love your dry humor. lol. merry christmas man

[@ircha]

Haha thanks, merry Christmas 😁🎉

[@maryargiri9873]

Great work on your video, as always. Have you tried the Spiritfarer game? It's available on Switch and PC. Cozy gameplay and amazing soundtrack. Happy new year!

[@ircha]

I've heard so much about it 👍 I need to play it

[@gonhunter3994]

Yes! Astral Chain is in the list! More seriously, the entire top is solid

[@andyk9735]

Playing Astral Chain for the first time just now. Absolutely loving it so far.

[@jonmegarton8078]

I lost interest after a few hours, but I might pick it up again after seeing this.

[@flakes6729]

I love your taste of games! My game of the year is xenoblade 1 def. Edition. Did you play Tokyo mirage sessions btw?

[@tinahoefs1455]

I just got my switch lite in February 2020 and have 657 hours logged this year, 635 for animal crossing alone. I love rpgs with crafting, cooking, and collecting and have a huge backlog of games I got from eshop sales.

[@tinahoefs1455]

Actually according to Nintendo I guess I played 677 hours total, I misremembered.

[@borisbold9605]

Great video. Your Viking blood sings with joy as you blast the enemies with powerful guns, and in the swordplay of Ghost of Tsushima!

[@egorgavriushkin9230]

I picked so many great games, which i would never try without your review. Thank you!

[@ircha]

Awesome ❤️❤️ Thank you ❤️

[@duncanrathband5492]

Epic video Ircha, some really interesting choices! Merry Christmas 🎄 I laughed at "Among Us... LOL"

[@ircha]

LOLS 😂 😁👍

[@maitrejoueur3819]

Best games released in 2020: Cyberpunk (on PC with maxed out graphics), Last of Us 2, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Streets of Rage 4 Best games in the "trying to overcome my backlog" category: A Plague Tale: Innocence, Gears 5, Astral Chain (thanks for the suggestion), The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening, Metro Exodus, Starlink Battle for Atlas (Switch Edition)

[@jacobynoctis4825]

I LOVE Streets of Rage 4!!

[@QuirkBored]

You and I enjoy the same types of games, I recently discovered you after buying my switch earlier this fall and love watching your content/reviews. Also, you got me addicted to My time in Portia I love it! And your humor is fantastic. Just all around a great content creator, thanks for sharing your top list!

[@sanneh251]

Thanks so much for this list! I am downloading the demo for Oninaki right now! Your videos are always such a pleasure to watch and I feel like we have a similar playstyle and taste, which is very helpfull for me😉 My favourite game of this year is Animal Crossing New Horizons. I have played this game literally every single day since it came out (apart from one week, because I didn't take my switch with me on vacation haha). Over 1000 hours are put in this game and I loved every second😍 Hope you had a lovely Christmas and I wish you a very happy and healthy NewYear!

[@PikaLink91]

I have Ghost of Tsushima, but like many other AAA games I bought this year and last year I have yet to even unpack it.

[@grey_wulf]

Subbed. Love your choice in games!

[@itachiuchiha5714]

Astral chain is so underrated

[@jeffreyvisser8628]

I got it for 7 months now, still haven't played

[@itachiuchiha5714]

@@jeffreyvisser8628 you should

[@jeffreyvisser8628]

@@itachiuchiha5714 I will play it this weekend probably or maybe tomorrow. I know it's a must!

[@Lollertube82]

I might try Genshin Impact after this, I've always thougth JRPGs weren't my thing but you are kind of making me reconsider that. What I like about your reviews is that I feel like you talk to the viewer as if you were sitting at the café talking in depth about the video games you love. Also that you don't cut out the awkward and funny parts of the videos, like the table moving >_

[@katiemason4245]

I wanna try it too but I don’t think it’s on switch yet

[@PikaLink91]

I don’t even think I’ve played 10 games this year, released or otherwise. Best games I’ve played released in 2020: Doom Eternal and Crash 4 (only because you can play the whole thing as ma gurl Coco) Best game I’ve played not released in 2020: Bound. A gorgeous game that definitely goes for artstyle over gameplay, but holy hell does it tell a powerful story, and is a shining example of videogames as an art form.

[@nfavor]

Great lists. I'm glad you said you're not feeling Paper Mario. I LOVED 1000 year door but I don't like the new Paper Mario at all!

[@Thenormalone250]

Great video and interesting good explained choices 👍

[@scooobydoo69]

GREAT VIDEO :P , MERRY CHRISTMAS

[@corruptfaith6674]

Oof...cyberpunk?!?! I play on Xbox one and it's been brutal. Quest bugs, randomly getting a fire debuff that kills you in 3 or 4 ticks, got stuck randomly in the middle of the map, lost 2 hours of gameplay for a corrupted save. I have hope for it but even with what you experienced with 5 crashes in 10 hours I couldn't put it in a top ten list.

[@JanBuatim]

You’re great! Thanks for the tips

[@MrJimithee]

God Jul Ircha! Looking forward to Immortals Fenyx tomorrow, so here's to a "Green Grass" Christmas! Stay cool matey x

[@ircha]

Awesome! 😁 👍

[@dgonzales55]

Awesome lists! I just bought Assassin's Creed Origins and will probably buy Cyberpunk 2077 next after watching this. 👍🏻🎮

[@erallen97]

I played 49 games on Switch this year. Paper Mario, Animal crossing and Breath of the Wild the most. Still playing Dragons Dogma after your review of it. I have AC Black Flag on the way. Thank you for all the great reviews this year!

[@ircha]

Wow ❤️ thank you so much for watching 👍

[@miloheath1916]

As always, Thank you for the recommendations!!

[@Jahranimo_]

How did you know I was up at 5:40am??? Lol

Really enjoy your content this video gave me an idea of what games I might want to try out thanks for all the suggestions and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

[@ircha]

Great, thanks 😊🎉

[@expsharevideogames]

I didn't play a whole lot of games that came out this year, but my game of the year was Final Fantasy 7 Remake

[@marcoshernandez934]

Solid picks Ircha! As of right now, Hyrule Warriors AOC is my game of the year. I still need to start Genshin Impact on PC! Hopefully, I'll get to try Ghost of Tsushima when I get a PS5/PS4, whenever that may be.

[@Lilbowwow-pu5rl]

Love your list!

[@stevenrledoux]

Like you I am oversaturated nowadays, before it was relatively easy with just Xbox. Nowadays I am working on Xbox games, PC Games, and now Switch. I will give Oninaki a go with the trial, Inner me: *"ADD THAT ONE TO THE LIST"* lol. DQB2 will be another add to the list for me. With a high recommendation from you, I will give it a go Love how the "link in the corner" was "The video hehehe..." That table wobble though. I am not mad, not at your decision to CP77, I respect your perspective in your reviews, I am glad you are enjoying it, both you and Irchaman. That is one thing I honestly desire in games is the immersion to the story, the characters, and the plot. It doesn't seem to be that much of a priority to some developers, especially when companies want to focus more on the PvP multiplayer style. Good to know I can go off, brew a pot of coffee, enjoy an episode or two of anime, before hopping back into AC Valhalla and check on it's loading screen lol. Looking forward to seeing your review of DerQ2 LE. I joke, you could play all the games! especially if we perfect cloning lol. brb getting that Ugly Sweater! like you for the games that i have played from 2020 (not a very long list for the released games) 1. Genshin Impact 2. Animal Crossing New Horizon 3. Azur Lane Crosswave Top 5 Games that I have played in 2020 (and the systems I play them on): 1. Ghost Recon: Wildlands (Xbox One) 2. God Eater 3 (Switch) 3. Supersimension Neptunia: vs Sega Hard Girls (PC) 4. Hyperdimension Neptunia: Re;birth 1 (PC) 5. Among Us (PC)

[@ircha]

This was a well put together comment, thank you so much 💕 💕 the TABLE HAS STARTED WOBBLING! What happened?? 😂 😂... We love it?

[@stevenrledoux]

@@ircha You're very welcome. always happy to provide some in depth comments. I very much value your opinion and perspective. We are all unique in our points of view and I very much enjoy understanding what people have to say. Btw stand by for a table wobble gif 😉for the Discord and tenor. In honesty though, I hope it can be a fixable issue. How long have you had that table around for your reviews?

[@CBlade0]

You've been putting in work, that's an insane amount of games you've been playing :o Also your hair looks bomb, that must've been a lot of work

[@scottharvey938]

Excellent top ten video 😊👍

[@katiemason4245]

I got Zelda breath of the wild, two point hospital and sakuna of rice and ruin for Xmas. I have had my switch for a year so I’m late joining the Zelda team. But I cannot wait to play it and see what all the focus and recommendations are about. I have wanted the game for a while but I have just been buying other games instead of it. I also just ordered and received Mario 3D all stars as I found out yesterday it was a limited release and won’t be in stores for long

[@ericsaari2901]

Great list. I like your presentation and style. You seem pretty honest and simply want to talk about the games you like as opposed to what is mainstream. I have a lot of respect for that. Subscribed! I think based on some of your choices that you should try 13 Sentinels if you haven't.

[@SuperStrangSshadow]

Great list. And thank you for making this. My most played games this year is Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Mario Kart deluxe.

[@metaltank9415]

These are lists I can get behind! Great Video!

[@S7eventhHeaven]

Games of the year. Final fantasy 7 remake. Was my lockdown game. And last of us Part 2 was my second lockdown game.

[@PirateCaptainDan]

Awesome list !!! More people should have lists like this. I love the list of games played but not from this year. Simply because I sometimes can't get to play all the games that come out during the year. And there are other games that are overlooked. As for games played, for the Switch: Animal Crossing NH, and Diablo III. And on my Xbox it would be Call of duty MW, Warzone and the multi-player had most of my time. But then both AC Valhalla and Cyberpunk have it now. Have a Merry Christmas 🎅

[@kaiserxblue]

good job for this list and I congratulate you for how is displayed. lots of good games. Thank Ircha.

[@honeybear4683]

Thank you for the great video, Irene!💜 I can't wait for Genshin to be available on the Switch. Hopefully soon!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄🎄

[@ircha]

Yeah! 😁 And thanks! Merry Christmas 🤶

[@gagalover2k10]

@Ircha Gaming it’s been a great year for games I’m still playing BotW I’m doing the champions ballad quest now, I also just started playing AC Valhalla, it’s so good and so immersive! I’ve stopped playing Cyberpunk for now since it will be getting 2 big patches in January so I’ll get back to it then. I also got Astral Chain (I had to have it from watching your review) and Paper Mario as well as Sanuka. So many games! I also want to play Ghost of Tsushima it looks absolutely stunning 🤩

[@anddo24]

Happy Holidays! Great video. Great year for gaming. Haven't played Genshin Impact, but I do have it installed. My GOTY is 13 Sentinels, incredible all around game.

[@TheRealIronMan]

16:40 Well your new content has arrived, snowy mountain region :) My GotY is Cyberpunk 2077, because Im playing it on PC (120 hours in), loooove the story and the lore, combat is so fun, you can shoot through walls and use tracking bullets, with bullet time and super jump Cybermods you literally turn into a superhero.

[@johnpaulsantos9556]

Merry Christmas Ircha :)

[@316whatupz]

Great lists, Irene. Haven't tried Call of Juarez yet. Games I have played the most on Switch in 2020 are Rayman Legends, Borderlands 1, Bulletstorm, and Alien Isolation.

[@ircha]

Nice 👍 😁

[@travisgillespie723]

Ive never heard of Oninaki but Im downloading the demo right now so I can check it out. Hack and slack game play is my kind of game : )

[@braingame007]

Love your hairstyle in this video Ircha. Awesome video overall.

[@braingame007]

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays and my favorite game from 2020 hands down was the Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

[@Matthew7772005]

Really appreciate the 2 lists because i always have games that I can't play the year they come out. My 2 games that meant the most from me this year are Animal Crossing and Ghost. I played Luigis Mansion 3 and completed Breath of the wild and Halfway into Xenoblade Chronicles Def Edition. Last Christmas I got a switch lite which I love with Breath of the Wild. Grateful I finished it. Playing Immortals Fenyx Rising today. Thanks to your review and an unboxing from @food4dogs, I ordered Rune Factory 4 Special Archival Edition. 2021 will be fun.

[@ircha]

You only play the most awesome games it seems like! 😁 👍 Awesome!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 🎆 I purchased a switch recently and dozens of games. Loved the lists.

[@afk1352008]

Very good work and interesting choices! indeed your format makes sense! For me, Tales of Vesperia and ACNH took the crowns, based on your two lists. Happy holidays and happy new year, I hope 2021 will not follow the path 2020 did...! Stay safe and radiant 🎉🎊👍💪

[@jaywills5898]

Just got a subscriber in me... Ghost of tsushima is my 1 game this year but cyberpunk is kicking ass too. I, like u havent had any game breaking bugs playing on a base ps4 n im loving it

Thanks for another great video 😊, merry Christmas 🎄

[@MissBubbles]

I love this video

[@Metalkake]

Awesome list! God jul från Finland!

[@PikaLink91]

I don’t mind visual novels, as long as they are combined with other genres of gameplay like in Ace Attorney where you don’t just read but also have to find/present evidence and spot lies in court. Something that keeps you active. Pure visual novels put me the f*** to sleep.

[@ircha]

Yeah I like visual novels if they are RPG hybrid 😜 👍 👍

[@Krokodilius]

i think the game i enjoyed most, this year, was Ghostrunner.

[@BrodieBr0]

Great picks Ircha! Wishing you happy holidays!

[@friedgirl8]

Your top two are my top two as well! Love love love genshin

[@bapotet]

to me it was animal crossing, sakuna of rice and ruins and rune factory 4

[@nealm2562]

Yes! Cyberpunk 2077 is a great game! I'm totally into it... yes it needs some updates but it is very playable, not as bad as some people feel.

[@ircha]

Awesome choices! 😁

[@Sofia-ee6yc]

Merry christmas eller god jul Ircha! I have been interested in the Death end re quest games, are they stand alones so that you could start with the second game or should you start with the first one? Also what is your opinion on persona/shin megami tensei games?

[@ircha]

They are stand alones, but there are some refferance in the 2nd one you won't understand without knowledge about the 1st one 😁

[@MrAbsurdSisyphus]

New sub today. Thank you for avoiding the cult of the new and showing us a different spread of games. Good games are good regardless of year of release. I enjoyed the concept of your 2020 games. Hollow Knight is on my list.
