I'm probably overlooking something, but the following games are those that I enjoyed the most this year:

- Resident Evil 2 Remake
- Final Fantasy XIV
- Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Death Stranding winning so many awards is incredibly suspicious. Though there's always been a weird cult surrounding Kojima, the guy hosting the Game Awards has a cameo within the game itself and pretentious, 'artsy' games tend to be praised highly by critics only to fall flat with regular people.

A number of negative reviews over on Metacritic were also nuked recently, which is worthy of concern given that nothing was done to eliminate the flood of '10/10' reviews from fanatics seeking to inflate the score.
