Game of the Year: Aaron's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2021

Village is such a gamers game. Thing even had a few flaws and was STILL head and shoulders above the rest. As I’ve stated before launch years aren’t known for great games being released but this one’s certainly knocking on the door 👌

@kingbreww The only thing it needs to truly be a gamers game is a bazooka. I really want to zooka some enemies into the moon. Please give me a zooka.
zooks that it wasn't in the game.

How is Toem? Worth 12 quid?

@lolwhatno the grenade launcher not good enough for ya lol

@kingbreww zooks your grenade launcher Does that answer your question.
Bazooka ftw!

P.s: I'm gonna come back later and compare the number of likes of my comment to yours, let's see how many sane headed people are out there.

Some will probably criticize (it's just a natural side effect of making these lists), but this is probably one of the better lists out of the group here. I have yet to play most of it, but I'd find it hard to fault much of it at all.

Resident Evil 7 didn't click with me when I tried it last year to get ready for Village, so obviously Village is one of the ones I haven't played yet. Considering it's praise, I can't fault it being chosen, and I do plan on going back and giving 7 another shot at some point this year so I can also try Village.

I've said it repeatedly already, but Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is currently my own Game of the Year, so any list that it's on is automatically ok with me. Maybe it is more like a #2 or a #3 in some years that had more big marquee releases, but it was still a blast and a game that really brought me back to the old days, and that's obviously a great thing.

Since the legendary RE4 and after 5 I haven't touched an RE since. I felt like TLOU took the crown and has held onto it ever since. This fps RE type after trying the 7 demo hasn't really clicked, but I guess I'll just have to give them a chance one day.

Another great list. My main takeaway from all of these GOTY rundowns is that I should probably play Guardians of the Galaxy.

@TheArt Ehhhh, the puzzles in TLOU just plain suck though. You don’t lug around a ladder or move a raft for the sole purpose of getting past an ankle deep body of water in Resi games. The remake of 2 I’d say is the better game than TLOU, especially as a survival horror.

@Gremio108 thats why I ended up buying it 😊 that and the fact I only paid £20 for it. Easily worth every penny.

@TheArt all I can say is that RE7 in VR is a gamechanger. Survival horror is absolutely terrifying in VR, so much so I had to stop playing it! If you've got the chops for it it's transformative. Like flying and driving games, once you've tried it in VR a part of you will miss not being able to.

@nessisonett Have you forgotten the old games and their idea of locking safes by the rooms feng shui? Put a jug here and move the sofa 3 meters to the left if you want to exit the mansion. Who would ever do this? Lol

@Jayofmaya That’s at least a puzzle of sorts though. Not busywork.

@nessisonett It's all opinions and if we should judge by that of critics at least, you know both TLOU&II have always scored way higher than any Resi games.

@Integrity I'm sure it'd be too terrifying in VR, I'd have to try the normal way first. Btw are you god_of_nowt... just wondering.

@Tsushima
Well worth the money if you are looking for something that is more relaxed and willing to take it's time.
I also recommend Spirtfarer and something that is different and quite special.

So much group think on push square. Like ikea of gaming

@Londoncalling (oh pushsquare overlords please don't ban me it's a joke)
What the heck did you just frickin’ say about me, you little whiner? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills.

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the frick out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my frickin’ words. You think you can get away with saying that crap to me over the Internet?

Think again, buddy. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, buddy.

The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re frickin dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable butt off the face of the continent, you little poopy-head.

If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your stinking tongue.

But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you big jerk. I will rain fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re in frickin’ trouble, mister.

@Jayofmaya I'd certainly enjoy that more than moving a ladder to get to the next area dx

@nessisonett Honestly if there's a puzzle that practically no one would enjoy it's Silent Hill 3's hard mode. Literally have to read books about Shakespeare in order to figure out what order to put the books in. Lol

@TheArt no, this isn't a puppet account and I don't know who that is 😊

@Integrity That's what you would say if you're were him. Have some integrity people!

@lolwhatno I can't prove I'm not him 😄 but I can say that on Eurogamer I was riceNpea 😄

@Integrity It's always wild to see someone in 2 different communities that you follow with the same name, I'm always taken aback by it for some reason lol.
Ok now excuse me while I stalk you there (don't worry I won't, would hate someone to do that to me, even though I have nothing important to hide).

@Integrity 😁 You kinda write like him. And yeah I think I used to see that riceNpea a lot on Eurogamer when I used to visit.

@lolwhatno I'm just happy that you're not going to order a drone strike on my house 😊

@TheArt well I definetly wrote a few thousand of them 😊 I've stopped commenting there after all these years. It's changed. The mods are less friendly, the way they moderate it doesn't encourage building a community and the site overall has deteriorated. The sub model is way too expensive, and the last straw for me was when the Editor wrote his farewell article and put it behind the paywall. Says it all.
I really like how the staff at PS join in and are active. And they allow discourse even if it's contrary. But I've found that that community here is nice, friendly and respectful which is what draws me most.

@Nepp67 I’ve played the Silent Hill games many times but I’ve never got past the opening couple of hours of hard mode in 2 or 3 without looking at a guide 😂

@nessisonett I got through 2 and 3 fine without a guide but 4 christ that 2 part of the game will frustrate you to no end even with a guide.

@Kidfried nice one, thanks 😊👍

Good list, I haven't played Toem but enjoyed all the others, RE Village and GotG being my 2 favourites.
