my favorite new game this year was probably Breath of the Wild, with Hollow Knight coming in second. Cuphead and Sonic Mania were both really good too. NASCAR Heat 2 sated my hunger for a new racing title, which was great.Still need to play Odyssey.
Cuphead
For some reason I rarely play new games nowadays. For me it's always been Minecraft, TF2, RA2, pokemon showdown, and random steam games I got a long time ago. I made myself play doki doki literature club, which was wonderful. I've also tried playing Battlerite, which is an arena style game (think dota/league but with no monsters or bases or items or leveling, just killing each other with skills on cooldowns), and I thought the gameplay was pretty good although it was lacking in a lot of other departments.
ALERT- Another WS coming up...
I'm fine with hugging reier
