Insomniac finally getting top recognition that it deserves. Ratchet and Clank has always been my favorite game series since I got Going Commando and their Spider-Man game took that Arkham formula and adapted it for the web head perfectly. The combat is made more dodgey and less brute force style and the alerts before enemies hit you make a lot more sense with spidey cause spider sense. Also had probably the best story DLC I've ever played in a game. I've never had so much fun NOT using fast travel lol and the story is so heartfelt which no one seemed to be talking about in reviews. The way they used Doc Oc was incredible and made him a better character than he's ever been for me. The voice work all around is amazing and the fact that they didn't even use some of the biggest villains shows just how much they focused on storytelling rather than just jamming as much in as possible.
Wish FighterZ had been higher as it is legitimately the only fighting game I've ever bothered to get good at (I'm a DB fanatic and a trophy whore so had to get that 530,000 online trophy). I don't think a trophy has ever been so satisfying as when I won the last match for that one lol legit was running around the room celebrating like a real life anime character
All that being said I still voted GoW as number 1 because as I've said before about it this is the best open world ever. Every inch was just jam packed with unique visuals and unique encounters and the side quests I discovered organically and I never listened to anything else because I was so immersed in the tales of mimir or Atreus and Kratos interacting. That's to say nothing of the story which felt so epic despite very few large scale battles. That
was legit a top moment of the gen for me.
