He mentions numbers 9 and 10 at the end of the video (RE: Village and Halo Infinite).
Same, I got about 6 hours in was loving it but moved on to other stuff that was coming out cause Im horrible at sticking to one game.
Only game on his list I actually played. Awesome game! Hadn't heard of Demons and immediately went and bought the LE. John's GOTY lists always end up being expensive for me! Can't wait for Audi's picks though Alex's list was a little blah.
Yeah honestly that game looks pretty rad might have to try it.
He does have great taste. What I like about him is that his tastes extend well beyond the main mainstream titles. That's why I was expecting a tad more in the way of indie/retro-styled games. Don't get me wrong, all the games he listed are potential GOTY candidates. It's a very solid list. It's also boring because all of those games, save for the two I mentioned, have appeared in every GOTY list under the sun.
What do people think these lists are for lol? To subvert peoples expectations?
Well, I can chime in to say that I wish I had more time for games this year but it was the busiest year in DF history for me. There are so many titles on my "to play" list that I just haven't had time for which is a bummer. So it was a little more 'run of the mill' this year due to that limitation. :-(
Are we now going to pretend that John's previous best-of-year lists are typically as conventional as this one? Because in previous years his lists have been extremely varied and have highlighted a lot more games outside the AAA space and the usual GOTY picks.
I feel bad for yall next year, what a packed year! Horizon one week away from elden ring is gonna be brutal for yall and reviewers.
It's a bummer to hear that. I hope things get more manageable for you in 2022 in terms of production schedule.
