It's too outdated. like a PS2 game (intended), but worse and clunkier in every aspect.

It's a JP exclusive game that blocked non-JP people from legally buying it, so just pirate it.
Switch version is very laggy, so you should play it on PC.
The game plays very similar to Cyber Manhunt, another great hacking investigative game.

Here's mine roughly ordered. Disaster Arms is the easy GOTY for me, only game that had me absolutely invested from the start until I 1cc'd it. Even the bottom row is still like 7.5/10 games. Some notable games that missed the cut due to being pretty good but nothing special were NG4, Shinobi AoV, Fuga 3, Doom Dark Ages, and Majogami. There's a few more indies I wish I played but I doubt they'd break into 8/10 territory.

Biggest disappointments of the year were MH Wilds (worst part is that it treated my main weapon well), HxH Nen Impact (I love 8ing fighters but they dropped the ball), and Captain Blood (really charming but way too monotonous with annoying late-game encounter design).

>>729700715
Would've played this and Split Fiction if one of my friends showed interest in them. I don't really want to play them with randoms.

>>729701420
>Thrasher
the hitbox in this game is so annoying since your dragon head is too big it's hard to actually see your own hitbox.

NTA, but it's unironically a really good game. It's probably one of the best climbing games ever and it's one of the few modern games with actual gameplay instead of by-the-numbers two dimensional gameplay.
It's even fun by yourself.
When it's on super-sale give it a try. What's the worst that can happen?
Are you a fraud you might have fun?

Otherwise probably Shinobi, ninja gaiden ragebound, or Silksong.

>>729704758
No it doesn't. It's a cute little pixel action game and I liked the characters and story. It's a niche appealing game though and is not for everyone obviously.

Still Elden Ring, third year in a row. These last few years have been horrible for gaming, everyone are just making poor knockoffs of older games, sometimes with shinier graphics, sometimes with worse graphics. Then there is the gacha and live service cancer taking over everything, billions of low effort indies that are only gonna get worse with the advent of AI. I find myself reading a lot more books than playing these days.

Ninja Gaiden 4. Best fucking action game I've played since DMC5. Should have won action GOTY in every goddamn site on the net, but didn't, leading me to believe shit taste is endemic and unable to be stopped.

>muh ironic weeb
No, I didn't like Frontier Hunter because its movement is essentially the same as Bloodstained's, which is incredibly awkward and sticky compared to other Igavanias. Add to that the fact that the Bloodstained engine doesn't deliver nice 3D anime character and monster models, and you have a game that's pretty ugly to look at
>TMS
Tokyo Mirage Sessions is bad. No, not liking the Battle Idol archetype doesn't take away your weeb card. I don't even hate all idolshit since I like Macross, but TMS is the textbook definition of mediocre RPG with generic candy colored cast members.
>your number scaling
No, with everything here, I'm complaining about your relative scaling. Entropy Effect and Strategy of Lily can stay where they are, but Frontier Hunter and TMS belong in the 4s and 5s
>muh Romancing 2 Remake
There's nothing to say but this is a terrible take. Minstrel Song and Frontier 1 are great. 2 Remake is great as well.
>Patron is outdated, repetitive
