Hell yeah Ragnarok is GOTY for sure.

I would make Elden Ring the comfortable number 2 though. Horizon is a great choice but should be 3.

Salt from Frommies are delish

This should be listed by GOTY tracker right?

 

[ungalo]

the editor/writer that put this list together is very brave.

If they wanted ‘gamer’ dicksucks they should ahve picked a narrative adventure point and click like immortality or Norco, or vampire survivors, or return to monkey island.

You can believe that if you spent too much time in some dark corners of the internet, but except for Elden Ring place this is the ranking you need to make to be approved by the masses. This is pretty much the nominees for Game Awards.

You literally get death threats if you talk shit about Ragnarok.

I don't think video game suffers from too much contrarian thinking, if only that was true. And Vampire Survivors is not a narrative adventure point & click.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Where is Neon White, Vampire Survivors?

You also get death threats for criticizing or not saying elden ring is not the one or two best game of the year. Or saying nintendo didn’t have any games worthy of a top 10 list.

I’m sure that guys mentions are gonna be hell for foreseeable future

 

[TintoConCasera]

Where is Xenoblade 3, Triangle Strategy, Live A Live, Stranger of Paradise...?

All eaten by that fucking cat at #5. The absolute state.

Its popularity contest, its always been about that unfortunately.

Those are also very mainstream games. I doubt anyone will insult you for not liking Immortality or Tunic.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Where the fuck is Tunic in this list?

 

[RoboFu]

No xenoblade 3 means it’s not a serious list.

 

[Dick Jones]

I think Cuphead should be higher

 

[remember_spinal]

This list proves one thing, Elden Ring really got overshadowed by Horizon

 

[Captain Toad]

Forbidden West was a great game. But, in no universe is it better than Elden Ring.

The Quarry being ahead of it to is even worse.

 

[Captain Toad]

I have accepted my aging joints and patience are just not meant for games like Elden Ring

If your joints are too old to play a videogame, perhaps it's just time to die?

 

[Darlingcognito]

Dude only has one console, I feel sad for him.

 

[Valedix]

Lol The Quarry.

Looks at avatar….

Looks at avatar….

I'm glad you quoted him. Or I would miss this gem. I have hin on ignore.
Talking about irony

 

[lh032]

Playstation always wins baby.

 

[TheGodfather07]

i knew people were going to go at you for horizon forbidden west at number 2. i havent played it yet and am looking forward to seeing why people seem to despise this game so much, when i finally get round to playing it.

 

[Punished Miku]

I don’t think they rate mobile games

You'd like it. Its not a looker but it's an all time great for arcade style game design.

 

[adamsapple]

8. Res Evil Village Shadows of Rose

No credibility in this list if this shit made the top 10.

 

[Represent.]

Sifu, TLOU Part 1, Ragnarok and HFW all made the list. Great list

Replace Elden Cockring with MW2 and its perfect

 

[AJUMP23]

Elden ring at 4 is a travesty.

 

[diffusionx]

I feel like all the people complaining are missing one essential part of this. It is TIME magazine. When was the last time you read or gave a shit about anything in that magazine

 

[Handel]

Tell me you only own PS consoles without telling me you only own PS consoles. Horizon FW at #2 and The Quarry above ER is already enough of a joke, but to include an enhanced port and mediocre DLC instead of many other great games released this year shows that this person isn't a gamer.

 

[remember_spinal]

It doesn’t matter if it was a twitter user with 20 followers, if someone puts a list out Elden Ring and GoWR BETTER be in the top 2 or else

Real Gamers™ won’t stand for it

 

[reinking]

I'm not even sure if the people that write these lists even play all of the games that they put on the list.

I didn't play them all either but IMO...

 

[HAYA8U5A]

I'm only in my 30's so not death old yet but I do basically feel like a 90 year old. Getting arthritis in your 20's as a gamer is fun...

 

[StreetsofBeige]

10. Turtles Shredder's Revenge

Who knew this is the 10th best game of the year.

 

[mansoor1980]

as a blue snake i feel this is a great list

 

[TLZ]

Where is Xenoblade 3, Triangle Strategy, Live A Live, Stranger of Paradise...?

All eaten by that fucking cat at #5.

 

[yazenov]

Pokémon got robbed!

 

[Hobbygaming]

HFW is the most graphically impressive open world game ever created. It's not insane some would rate it high. In fact I think God of War, HFW and Elden Ring should be everyone's top 3 in whatever order.

This. I just played all 3 games back to back they're all amazing and for different reasons

I'm not very far in Elden Ring but I can tell it's gonna be special

 

[Hobbygaming]

Horizon FW is bloated, focus group tested trash.

It's gonna be okay

 

[Hobbygaming]

i knew people were going to go at you for horizon forbidden west at number 2. i havent played it yet and am looking forward to seeing why people seem to despise this game so much, when i finally get round to playing it.

I'll answer that for you...

It's a great PlayStation game

 

[adamosmaki]

Ahh times the bastion of gaming the last hope of hardcore gamers around the world

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

This list is complete, the GOTY awards have barely started.

Hmmm…so a list showing a game you want to win goty is valid but the other list should wait till January when it’s not what you want.

HFW is the most graphically impressive open world game ever created. It's not insane some would rate it high. In fact I think God of War, HFW and Elden Ring should be everyone's top 3 in whatever order.

Point out the guy that doesn’t play indies. Vampire Survivor, Cult of Lamb and immortality should imo place higher than Horizion. If someone put Vamp Suvivor at #1 I wouldn’t be mad. Best horde mode since Gears 2. Also does better rpg mechanics than almost any game this year outside of Elden ring.

 

[GenericUser]

Yep, it's been a dry year. But 2023 will be awesome. Starfield, FF16, FM8, Diablo 4, Dead Island 2, Resident Evil 4 Remake...

Ragnarok is cool (not played it yet though), but the rest was kinda meh for me. Glad I have Modern Warfare 2 to at least keep me busy.

 

[MadPanda]

HFW is the most graphically impressive open world game ever created. It's not insane some would rate it high. In fact I think God of War, HFW and Elden Ring should be everyone's top 3 in whatever order.

No, it's not. It has pretty, gamey graphics and that's it. After the first game and its dlc Forbidden West was a disappointment.

I thought it was really good

Its hard for me to come up with a lot of open world games i feel have better gameplay

 

[Robb]

Not the order or games I would’ve picked, but all great games nonetheless!

 

[Kenneth Haight]

In what universe does the quarry sit above Elden Ring. GTFO here.

 

[Madflavor]

People keep bringing up Horizon, but The Quarry being at #3 while simultaneously beating out Elden Ring which sits at #4, is one of the worst takes I've seen in awhile.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

No idea why HFW gets so much shit, it's an excellent game that has some flaws (much like any game). Still the best playing open world game on the market in terms of action.

Good on Ragnarok and a well deserved #1

 

[gow3isben]

No idea what Quarry is but good for it for being better than Elden Ring

 

[RPS37]

I’ve played a significant amount of Stray and don’t think it belongs on any list.

 

[Fredrik]

It doesn’t matter if it was a twitter user with 20 followers, if someone puts a list out Elden Ring and GoWR BETTER be in the top 2 or else

Real Gamers™ won’t stand for it

Don’t worry, Stuff gave the GOTY to Elden Ring and had GOWR as #2, you can sleep calmly tonight.

 

[ahtlas7]

The only games I played this year: 10 List

 

[GhostOfTsu]

The Quarry looks weird at no3 but great list with TLOU, Stray, GOW, ER and HFW. What a year!
