Summary: Welcome to season 17! Weâve been away for two weeks and, on my end, there isnât a whole lot to show for it. Still, we do try to pick our best games of last year, even though weâ¦well, I, havenât really had a lot of variety there. Still, as a spoiler, here were my three picks: God Of War Ragnarok. Iâm still playing this game and making my way through it. Iâm slow with these kinds of games as I take my time and secure every little thing I can on the path to the boss, feeling as though Iâll lose the ambition to go back once the game is complete. None of that actually matters though because it keeps me entertained. By that I mean the game keeps pushing me forward, even with the distractions. Overall, when Iâm finished, Iâm sure I could find a few points of where the game drags, but, currently playing in the moment, I canât find those points. The story is easily holding its own and nothing, so far, feels like a waste or something thrown on to lengthen the game. Again, retrospect may prove otherwise but Iâm enjoying every moment of the game. Vampire Survivors. This would probably be my game of the year. Itâs cheap, itâs fun, and the loot/replay loop is fantastic. Then again, it was developed by one person who used to make casino games. They know a thing or two about getting you hooked and keeping you there. And this game does it flawlessly. Itâs not the prettiest looking game out there and this proves the point that looks and story arenât everything. Gameplay can come in and trump them all. Spend the five bucks. Itâs worth it. Marvel Snap. I never thought a card game would ever hook me but this one has. Itâs absolutely free to play and there is some monetization there, itâs completely your choice to spend money. I havenât spent a dime and if you think it means youâre missing out, Iâve won far more games with the base cards than I have lost. You donât win the game by spending money. And thatâs the best thing I could probably say about it. Still, itâs free, takes maybe less than 3 minutes to play a match, and you can play it anywhere on your phone or PC. Itâs currently still in âearly accessâ with a full release pending for the middle of this year so thereâs tons of potential here and room for improvement. And you canât beat free. Maybe one day I can add a Splinter Cell game to a list like above, but until then we wait. Ubisoft, itâs been 3,413 days since a new Splinter Cell game (non-animated series or guest spot in another game franchise, remake, BBC radio drama, or VR exclusive) was released.
