Player Reviews on Tears of the Kingdom

"I played a lot of side missions and invented some cool stuff based on designs I saw online. As a sequel and storytelling device, I felt a bit underwhelmed." - Ambigant.

"TotK kept my interest for about 20 hours, then I got bored. It's too directionless for my taste. I understand why some people love it, but I prefer a story-driven game." - Mireille.

"I played Tears of the Kingdom for a while but the magic disappeared after about 20 hours." - Endere772.

"As a big Zelda fan, I naturally enjoyed TotK and spent a lot of time playing it. However, it couldn't surpass the standard set by Breath of the Wild for me." - Jake Sapir.

"I completed about 18 games this year and TotK was my highlight. The sky aspect and the exploration using built items were mind-blowing. The first time diving from the sky through a hole into the underworld was my best gaming moment of the year." - Pat Dorsman.

"Totk was a magical experience for me." - magpie187.

"Tears of the Kingdom" - A classic example of our failing education system."

"Zelda was my favorite game this year. I loved almost every part of it and never got bored. I spent a few months after its release hoping for DLC like the first game." - AKA.

Baldur's Gate 3 Reviews

"Baldur's Gate 3 is my honorable mention. It could have been my top choice if I understood all the game systems better. I recently started over after a break." - LoganTroxell.

"I bought a PS5 partly to play Baldur's Gate III. I'm enjoying it but I'm still in Act I. It's fun comparing it to D&D, although I haven't played the older BGs or many western RPGs." - Platypus Man.

"I loved BG3 and spent more time on it than anything else. I guess because I'd been playing the early access on and off for years, I knew it was going to be awesome." - Mireille.

"Baldur's Gate 3 is magical and has great storytelling. I play it mainly for the story choices. The gameplay is too hard for me." - Endere772.

"Baldur's Gate 3 was a lot of fun and I loved the character customization, but it didn't run well on my PC and felt a bit over-complicated." - Jake Sapir.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and Mario Reviews

"Cyberpunk was the best game I played this year. The whole package in 2.0 is amazing and it's now in my top 5 of all time. I would recommend giving it another chance, DLC or not." - Nicholas Alberts.

"At the end of the day, Baldur's Gate 3 is my favorite, but since Cyberpunk's 2.0 update I haven't played anything else." - dungeon caregiver.

"Mario Wonder is in my top 5 mostly because I didn't play any other new games this year." - Anonymous Player.
