PC Game of the Year 2021 - A year late and a dollar short.
Well since no one did it for 2021, here you go. My picks:
BEST INDY GAME PLAYED IN 2021
Nominations
Disco Elysium
Blue Estate
Nuclear Throne
The Wastes
Zorbus
Regions of Ruin
American Fugitive
Going Down
This really comes down to Zorbus and Nuclear Throne.
THE WINNER IS:
* Nuclear Throne
Roguelike bullet hell. Really it only won over
Zorbus because I played it a lot more. Why did NT grab me when so many
other bullet hell games don't? It might be the post apocalyptic nature
of it, but no I've played many a post apocalyptic bullet hell games.
It's partially that it's a bit more approchable than most other bullet
hells though it does ramp up in difficulty rather quickly, it's possible
to learn, unlock and get better at a reasonable pace. It's got a bit
of a sense of humor that appeals to me too.
BEST GAME PLAYED IN 2021
Nominations
Borderlands 3
EDF Iron Rain
Warframe
Death Stranding
Dark Souls III
RAD
This is a hard one too, more for qualifying issues and lack of great
games.
DS 3 I'd put up there, but technically I started playing it in
previous years and only came back to it in 2021. I did finally go on
to beat Midir in it which I hadn't done previously, and go on to NG+ though.
Warframe is similar, though it has expansions I played that are new.
Death Stranding - I quit playing it early mainly because I was running
on the lowest video settings possible, though it was still running
fine. I really should go back to play it again with my new video card,
but playing "The Postman" the video game isn't super appealing even though everything else about it was pretty cool.
THE WINNER IS:
Dark Souls III - What more can I say, too bad the server downing and ruination of the anti-cheat that worked killed it for me last year.
BEST GAME I PLAYED FROM 2021
Sable - Best adventure game I've ever played. (Not that that's
saying much as I usually hate adventure games, or maybe that says
a lot?)
O.k. I'm cheating a bit here, as I didn't play Sable in 2021, I
played it in 2022. It's not the only game from 2021 I played, but
it's the only game worth of even a nomination. The only other
game I played from 2021 I csee on a list of top 100 is
Guardians of the Galaxy, which I didn't finish and gave up on
rather quickly so isn't even worth a nomination, not to mention I also
didn't play it in 2021.
And that's probably why I didn't post this last year, sicne I didn't
play anything in 2021 from 2021.
Do you remember anything that was either game of the year from 2021 or
that you played in 2021 that was the best of the year? My guess is Disco Elysium is going to be a lot of people's unless they played in in 2019.
