Ghost of Tsushima for me. Not going to lie, the game did get boring for a few hours at the end of the Plat chase but otherwise, it was perfect.
I have absolutely no desire to play TLOU2, even if it's free on PS+. SkillUp said he only finished the game because he had to. YongYeh called it "misery porn", and hated it.
Two YTubers I trust. TBH the first game was just OK for me. I liked the ending but found the game to be massively "meh" overall. If I hadn't played it with my brother as our "Christmas game", I would never have bothered. Not my genre, not my cup of tea and for me, a "play once" game with no replayability or even a need for a sequel.
If you really feel the need to make a sequel, do something bold, like make it about other people in a different continent, or make it about the Fireflies or something. The sequel was always going to be a huge fuck you to fans if you made it about existing characters, especially if you feel the need to inject current day politics into it.
Honestly, I feel the same way about Horizon Zero Dawn. I loved that game, and for me, the best part was the story of what happened to humanity. I really couldn't care less about Aloy or her world, I thought most of that was complete bollocks overall.
In the same way as TLOU, I really don't feel like HZD needs a sequel. If you REALLY need to make this a franchise, then please set it in another continent, or with different characters. I feel like Aloy's story was told, and we don't need anything that undermines that lore. Which obviously isn't going to happen, but whatever.
I have no idea where ND go from here. I think Uncharted 5 will happen, as it's a flagship franchise and if the game is great, a system seller. I would imagine they would eventually cave and do a game with Cutter as the main character, since that seems to be what fans want. Technically it would be Uncharted 7 but hey, it's PS5 so Uncharted 5 it will be. I also hope they remaster Uncharted: Golden Abyss like they did with the Uncharted trilogy.
But let's not beat about the bush, TLOU2 was a massive commercial failure. I've read several sources on how it sold which all differ, but would estimate that it probably sold at least five times less than expected. The GOTY BS is just to boost sales and at least make the game respectable.
When your own die-hard Reddit fan forum turns against you, given the political biases of that site, you know you have got massive problems.
I have no interest in playing the game ever, even if for free or paid to do so. I know I will despise every second of it.
Except maybe the middle bit where you smash windows. That sounded ok.
Anyhoo, I'm going to go now. I have a hot bigot sandwich I need to eat, apparently.

I do think about it every now and then what might have been different with my life had I not spent thousands of hours gaming over the past 24-ish years (started gaming at 6 years old on my long-dead Sega Genesis). Would I have found that special woman, married her, and be raising kids like nearly all of my former classmates from school have done in the 12 years since we graduated? Would I have put forth more effort into college and actually gotten a proper degree if I didn't have video games (PS3, Gamecube, Wii, gaming on my old PC) back then to distract me? Would I have saved thousands upon thousands of dollars (and not be fighting $4,000+ of credit card debt) by not purchasing multiple gaming consoles (PS3, Wii, Wii U, PS4, PS4 Pro, Nintendo Switch, and PS5), 270+ games (including roughly two dozen special/limited edition purchases at extra cost), and a $1,600 gaming PC from 2016? What would have I done with the 1,865 hours of my life (yes, you read that right) that I wasted playing Team Fortress 2 online between the years 2010 to 2018?
I'd be a vastly different person if I wasn't a gamer. My life would have been a lot more boring without all of the excellent games that I have had the pleasure of playing over the past two decades on all of the different consoles that I have owned in that span of time. The worst part would be not being apart of several awesome gaming communities (SimRacing Design, IGN, PSN Profiles, TAY/TAY2, etc) and getting to interact with all of you on a daily basis.
