Hate to be a negative Nancy but does this mean three people can now take turns doing the same abilities over and over?

Great list. Was happy to see Armored Core’s Rusty and Octopath’s Partitio.

Yup, this list is accurate.

I refuse to consider Hook a bad movie.

Don’t want to spoil anything but that can change over time. There are two who can heal natively, then others can earn the abilities to heal later on.

To be fair I don’t think they’re going for writing awards with this but each character is inherently deeper once you learn a lore element near the end of the game. Basically, things aren’t as they are presented to the player at first.

Loved it too. One of the few games I’ve beaten and immediately just wanted to play more. Hoping for a boss rush/boss select mode and really, just more content.

That SEGA AM2 license plate on the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech.

Great picks all around.

Need for Speed: Unbound for me, too.

If by not terrible you mean one of the most enjoyable JRPGs I’ve played in the last 5 years then yeah?

Not trying to defend SONY or pricing it’s just, players have been spending this or more for years now, well before this recent inflation, on SCUF and such. It’s barely more than the Elite Series 2.

Same thoughts all around. This and DioField Chronicle are giving me more faith in the industry than another monster of a AAA title tbh.

Sure feels like Modern Warfare 2019 all over again really. Where the mini-map was much less useful than previous iterations for the first few months. Then after the internet moaned enough, IW eventually beefed up the mini-map.

Yeahhhhhhh Returnal! Let’s expedite that Gran Turismo 7 release, too.

Some amazing songs in that collection. Me, personally, would have just made the top ~25 songs all R4 but I applaud you for keeping the list diverse.

Recently copped F1 ‘21 and I gotta say, I’ve really enjoyed it. Pretty dang excited for ‘22. The handling changes being able to hit the throttle more on corner exit particularly appeal to me as I play ‘21.

While I try to play without assists and a raise the AI difficulty a bit, I’m no eSports and am totally fine with…

I think that’s more accurate than Destiny.

Shame, the game was honestly a lot of fun. That team deserves a bit more recognition imo.

Really happy to see Shredders on this list. This game has truly caught me by surprise. Might even be my favorite game so far this year (And yes I’ve beaten Elden Ring).

I went through it a few times to be sure but I don’t see Narita Boy listed. (Half kidding, this list is fantastic. Some incredible games in there)

R4: Ridge Racer Type 4
