I apparently didn't do much outside of PSO2 and mobile gaming this year. Of what I did, Elden Ring absolutely deserves GotY, and I can't wait to see if they do expanded content, especially something centered around Miqella, whom everyone in the game absolutely simped for, but never truly showed up.

PSO2NGS is starting to shape up content-wise, but their ability to tell a story is still absolute shit.

Also played Atelier Ryza and Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Decent games.

Disappointments? I Yar-har'd FF7 Remake. Holy shit do I hate almost everything about it. I wouldn't even buy it half off on Steam. Modding Tifa into wearing Nyotengu's leather suit was the only thing keeping me going with it. The gameplay was fucked, the mapping was fucked, the "story during gameplay" was fucked. I can't even bring myself to climb the wall and finish the game. They took the three-hour introduction of the original and turned it into a 40-hour game of its own, and most of it is either padding or forced snail-pacing.
