    Alan Wake 2? Seriously?

    Ok, to be fair I haven’t played it, but did it break new ground and I just didn’t hear? I assumed it was just… a fine third person horror game.

    Baldur’s gate 3 is a masterpiece and new high water mark. I say this despite intensely disliking DND 5e’s rules.

      I’ve been describing AW2 as my subjective GotY. If you don’t like the story telling or if you hate cutscenes in general, it offers very little, otherwise it really is a narrative experience like no other. BG3 is technically a revolution for CRPG but it’s easy for me to imagine (and have seen) people get bored or the content

    As someone just getting back into gaming, I’d like some Lemming’s top 10 of the year – which would be more helpful than Time’s.

      Do you want top 10 released this year, or top 10 people played this year?

      If you’re just getting back into gaming, you probably missed a bunch of gems that are still totally worth playing today.

      When I got back into gaming, I remember really liking /r/patientgamers essential gaming list (Google spreadsheet), which has a bunch of great older games. Perhaps we could do something like that, but limit it to more recent games (say, 5 years or current gen only?). And put that next to a top ten from the current year.
