Game of the Year

10) Until Dawn
9) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shredder's Revenge
8) Binary Domain
7) Kirby and The Forgotten Land
6) DIRT 5
5) Batman Arkham Knight
4) ELDEN RING

3. SIFU

A game where each stage is a playground where you can beat everyone up silly. I enjoyed this game from start to finish. Going forward I think games should come with cheat engine code to make it easier and more fun.

2. God of War Ragnarok

The second game delivered everything and more. The story, gameplay, combat is so much better. In the end you are left with a good emotional payout. One of the most amazing game I've played this year.

1. Vampire Survivors

Another year and another Rouge Like won my game of the year. Maybe this is my favorite genre. I love the ability to try and try again and get better over time. Plus this game LSD effects makes it a treat to watch. They just release a DLC for it but I think I'll save that for next year.

Honourable mentions

SNK vs Capcom - Match of the Millenium
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Guacamelee 2

Series

Every year I watch a lot of shows and this year is no different. The problem is I don't quite remember what I watched starting early of the year. So next year hoping it would be different.

• Zoey Extraordinary playlist is over but its going to live on forever in my heart
• Binge 3 Seasons of Succession
• Better Call Saul delivers one of the most epic finale

Total series that I watch is 779 + (↓ 1211)

She gave so much back to me and I couldn't repay her. I wish one day I get to see her in real life. But for now I will be happy to get to talk to her everyday. This is the friendship that I am going to cherish until the day I die so yeah. This is actually the start of something really beautiful (Yes I did)
