i don't really see what's so different about it versus telltale's the walking dead except for bandersnatch having better writing, acting, and saying something with the time it had.
no one's telling you what you can and cant vote for. go nutsi don't really see what's so different about it versus telltale's the walking dead except for bandersnatch having better writing, acting, and saying something with the time it had.
Hope you enjoy it! Just a nice and pleasant game all around!
Wow, this is exactly my experience with this game. I wanted to love this game so much but the previous two versions left me so disappointed. I am so glad the PS4 version was finally able to click with me.Shadow of the Colossus
I first played Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2. I did not enjoy it then and did not finish it. I played it again on the PS3, and completed it this time, but almost in spite of my experience with the controls. I did not really think about picking up this PS4 remaster until I did so impulsively. What I am happy to say is that this game finally clicked with me. The insignificance of the player character shone through the gameplay in a way I did not fully grasp prior, and I finally felt the breadth of the adventure. SotC is not only a fantastic remaster, but it's the definitive way to play one of the greatest games of all time.
I wondered this myself. It hasn't been mentioned in this thread so far until you asked about it. It's not on the official spreadsheet, but I think you could definitely make an argument for it. If you really want to put it on your list, I'd get in touch with an admin and ask them about it! (Personally I had too much on my list to fit it, but I think it deserves a nod because although it's ultimately kind of hollow, I found it to be a fun ride.)

You misspelled "Ultimate"
- Super Smash Bros. Ulitmate - The title isnt a lie, the game is a culmination of the series up to this point, with both the most content of any smash game ever and with the most detail given to each character yet, its going to end up as my favorite entry in one of my most favorite series.
- Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Its a JRPG through and through but it has all the hallmarks of the genre that I know and love while maintaining its unique identity as a Dragon Quest game. The monsters really sing in HD
- Tetris Effect - VR is finally justified to me with tetris effect, a game that has the rock solid core of tetris but is surrounded by some of the best visuals and music you are gonna find in a game this year
- God Of War - Before this game I hated Kratos, but walking out the other end of it he's perhaps one of my favorite characters in gaming this generation. The story is certainly deserving of the praise it is getting, but it's also worth noting that man, that axe sure does feel good to swing.
- Red Dead Redemption 2 - Man the game can take some getting used to, which is strange for such a famous developer and series but once you are willing to give yourself over to the game's admittedly slow pace, but once you do some of the best most impactful moments of the year can be found in Red Dead Redemption 2
- Monster Hunter World - It's the first monster Hunter i was able to fully throw myself into and I found myself loving the world and the monsters within. Bursting with charm and having depth to the gameplay and multiple weapons to master, I found myself having a good time throughout the struggles of learning how to hunt each monster.
- Splatoon 2: Octo Expansion - What a great followup to all the things I loved in splatoon 1's campaign but found lacking in base splatoon 2's hero mode. Level design that is demanding but unique in what it asks you to do helps the game never feel to repetitive and the entire final portion of the game is a treat from beginning to end.
- Octopath Traveler - An incredible aesthetic and wonderful soundtrack help to give flourish and highlights to an rpg battle system that is extremely fun to experiment with and one that continues to have new wrinkles added to it each time i turn on the game. The story isnt the traditional save the world narrative but I found almost all of the personal journeys each character went on engaging.
- Celeste - Celeste suprises with just how solid of a platformer it is and how touching the narrative can be in moments. Matt Makes Games stepped up their game for their first big single player adventure after gaining popularity with Towerfall Ascension and I'm so happy Celeste gained popularity in what was a pretty stacked early months of the year.
- Into The Breach - Into The Breach takes the run based approach and shortens it to work in nice chunks that can work when playing for hours or when playing for 10 minutes on the bus. The game is deceptively deep for having a relatively small map but the more you scratch under the surface the more you come to appreciate the intricacies of each map and unit.
