Steam awards never fail to be baffling.

I second AoE4, I started playing this year and made it to conqueror recently, it does a great job at teaching you mechanics in a very intuitive way.

Probably Remnant 2 although Hi-Fi Rush is close behind.

Bungie can fuck everything up without Bobby’s help tbh.

Good to see Remnant doing so well, it’s by far one of the best games this year.

The thing about live service is that it’s also a money-vacuum, they need to be making loads of money to keep themselves going.

Starfield probably hasn’t lived up to anyone’s expectations but people are acting like it’s not a solid game still.

Dishonored 1 and 2.

The movie is pretty bad tbh.

I think I understand what you mean, I only played Splatoon 2 so I don’t have much to add, I don’t think there is much of a population left sadly.

Kong and TWD not being on the list kind of shows the problem with Metacritic overall, a lot of people have reviewed those games but there is no numerical score so it’s not here.

Can you elaborate a bit? I played Splatoon 2 until Nintendo started charging for the online but, as far as I know, Splatoon 3 only has a free battlepass.

Am I missing anything?

I haven’t seen Splatoon being recommended here, it’s a ton of fun and has no microtransactions. You can but your kid a Switch for cheap nowadays.

TLoU already had a multiplayer mode and it was great, they just had to do the same thing.

I can see that but I’d argue most people agree that being funded by Nexon is neither independent nor indie.

Indie literally means independent.

What freedom? You can’t even choose how your character speaks when there are usually 2 options and they both sound the same.

I press my yubikey by mistake and end it just sends random messages on Slack, other than that it just works fine.

Ubisoft: checklists of Pandora

Also Argentina, most of America does this I believe.
