2021 List

Games that I've played that have come out in 2021

Psychonauts 2
Psychonauts 2
Psychonauts 1 was Super imaginative, had great platforming, great writing, and a fantastic art direction. Ok now just take all of that, but do it 10 times better. HOOLLLYYYY SHIT this is a good ass game.

1

Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut
It truly was a Disco Elysium.........................ꜰɪɴᴀʟ ᴄᴜᴛ

2

No More Heroes III
No More Heroes III
It's so good to see Suda51 back in the captain's chair again. I hope it says that way for the foreseeable future.

3

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
This is now my new favorite Ratchet and Clank game,
and has dethroned Crack in Time which I never thought could happen.

4

Metroid Dread
Metroid Dread
𝐎𝐇 𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍

5

The Artful Escape
The Artful Escape
Super fun game with some outstanding landscaping and color, just kinda wished the gameplay was a little more than just a glorified 2D walking simulator.

6

Resident Evil Village
Resident Evil Village
They should have renamed this game to Resident Evil 8: Ethan Winters VS. The World because the shit that happens to this man is so fucked you kinda feel sorry for him after a while.

7

The Forgotten City
The Forgotten City
I guess Skyrim was good for something after all.

8

Returnal
Returnal
Imagine the fast-paced gameplay of a roguelike; like Binding of Isaac or Hades, but mix it in with a bullet-hell and Lovecraftian imagery, you have one of the most challenging games for next-gen systems.

9

Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Used this remaster to get into the whole trilogy; which is why it's so high up on this list, because I fucking loved Mass Effect.

10

Deathloop
Deathloop
DeathLoop more like DeathPoop.....................................naa but for real this game fucks reeeaaaally hard.

11

Persona 5 Strikers
Persona 5 Strikers
(This is technically cheating because this came out in Japan in 2020 and was later released Internationally in 2021, my list my rules.)

This is by far the best Persona Spin-off made so far.

12

Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space
Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space
The funniest of the original 2 seasons, but feels held back from the true Insanity of the series by it's cheap recycling of contact and its repetition.

13

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
Every fight with a dragon must have Kickstart my Heart in it from now on.
This is the new gold standered.

14

Bowser's Fury
Bowser's Fury
(This entry is just for Bowser's Fury and not 3D World + Bowser's Fury as a whole.)

This is gonna stand the test of time and be remembered as one of the best 3D Mario games, MARK MY WORDS.

15

It Takes Two
It Takes Two
It's one of the best Co-Op games I've played in a long time.

16

Knockout City
Knockout City
Out of all the sports you could turn into a video game dodgeball is a very strange one, even though it makes perfect sense, but the most shocking thing is how fucking fantastic the game is.

17

Subway Midnight
Subway Midnight
I have a stupid huge soft spot for games that can give me an atmospheric experience, and this gave me one the likes of which I've ever had before.
The puzzles could have been a little better but I enjoyed from for what they are.

18

Halo Infinite
Halo Infinite
It's not as good as the original 3 Halo games, but they gave us a grappling hook and that is unironically the best part of the game.

19

Death's Door
Death's Door
Small action games with a minimalist color art style are my jam.

20

Little Nightmares II
Little Nightmares II
I think it's better than Little Nightmares 1 in almost every way, but it does fumble in a few points.

21

Alan Wake Remastered
Alan Wake Remastered
As a remaster it's kinda lackluster, besides the "newer" models and more high-res textures it's pretty much just looks like the PC version, which isn't a bad thing since I think the game still holds up pretty well for it's era I just would've liked a few more changes to really make this game stand out as a remaster. But even if I don't think it really makes full use of it's remastered elements I can't deny that I'm glad this exist as a good way for newcomers who've never played Alan Wake on 360 to finally play it very accessible way with all of it's DLC content, which is something I wished more studios and publishers did.

22

Narita Boy
Narita Boy
From the amazing 1980s synth aesthetic, to the surprisingly intriguing narrative, and its fast-paced 2D Hack and Slash gameplay, it's all-around a fantastic game.

23

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game - Complete Edition
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game - Complete Edition
It's just the same game but I can actually play it now............digital distribution sure has zero problems.

24

Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
(This entry is just for 3D World Rather than 3D World + Bowser's Fury)

It's pretty much just the same game but faster, snapper, and I can play it wherever I want. I really liked it the first time and my opinion hasn't changed since.

25

Hitman 3
Hitman 3
It's not the best but also not the worst, it falls into the same spot as Hitman: Absolution, a pretty good game.......... I kinda like Absolution....................... :I

26

Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Kena: Bridge of Spirits
Really fun adventure games only brought down by its kinda bland art style.

27

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania
𝙈𝙐𝙉𝙆𝙔 𝘾𝙃𝙀𝙀𝙕!!!!!!!!!!

28

Deeeer Simulator
Deeeer Simulator
I have a variety of different questions, and I know for sure I won't get a single answer.

29

Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
It's a really cute game about a nuclear fallout....... no I'm not joking.

30

Cruelty Squad
Cruelty Squad
The video game personification of a deep-fried meme

31

The Gunk
The Gunk
idk why but games where all you do is just clean stuff are really relaxing to me, which is funny since I hate cleaning pretty much anything around my house.

32

Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection
Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection
A remaster that fixes all the cheapness of the NES title while still giving you a ballbusting experience.

33

Say No! More
Say No! More
A really cute game about one person who overturned the toxic work environment all because someone stole his lunch.

34

Kyle is Famous: Complete Edition
Kyle is Famous: Complete Edition
Gianni Matragrano has proven that he can make literally any voice and still can be funny.

35

Genesis Noir
Genesis Noir
This game is just flowing with its amazing at times entrancing style it's outstanding, its gameplay is not really all that engaging but it reminds me a lot of Later Algaitor, where it's less about the one to one gameplay and more of the interactions you have with characters in the game.

36

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
It's a pretty fun platformer fighter, but it's held back by its very cheap presentation.

37

Emily is Away <3
Emily is Away <3
I can't say it's phenomenal but it's one of those video games where you can definitely tell the developers love doing what they're doing and I love seeing that.

38

Twelve Minutes
Twelve Minutes
Super interesting time loop idea that mostly works.

39

Hitchhiker
Hitchhiker
This game is 95% talking and just looking at your surrounding which if done wrong could make the whole game boring, but the writing is so well done and engaging It held my interest the whole time.

40

The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf
The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf
I swear if I hear the word Smurf one more god damn time I'm gonna lose my fucking mind.

41

Speed Limit
Speed Limit
Really fun but it's also super short
( I mean really short, you can finish the game in less than 30 minutes.)

42

Toree 3D
Toree 3D
I mean I paid a dollar for this game it's not like I was expecting anything amazing, it's a short 30 some odd minute platformer that was pretty fun.

43

Madness: Project Nexus
Madness: Project Nexus
It feels like a New Grounds game from 2009, and it sure does play like it.

44

Mayhem in Single Valley
Mayhem in Single Valley
honestly I'm a little disappointed by this game, I really liked the pixel art of the game, and the writing was pretty funny at times, overall the gameplay was slow and dull and I didn't really care for it.

45

Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood
Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood
I can't say it's bad, but it's not good either.
it's very middle of the road.

46

Back 4 Blood
Back 4 Blood
I got exactly what was advertised to me. I got a new zombie shooter that was made for the original studio that made Left 4 Dead, and that's it. I can't say it's awful, and in all honesty I did have some fun; but that's it. I can't say that this game released Left 4 Dead, but it did indeed.................................do..........ssssomething...........................uuuhhhmmmmmmm............yeah I don't know I don't really have anything to say about this game.

47

Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game
Space Jam: A New Legacy - The Game
I mean I don't really have a lot to say about this game, I mean I got it for free so I guess that's something. :T

48

Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!
It's pretty much the same game but now you have to pay for it.............eh.

49

Cyber Shadow
Cyber Shadow
I liked the ideas it was going for but I didn't really care for the execution of those ideas.

50

Cyanide & Happiness: Freakpocalypse
Cyanide & Happiness: Freakpocalypse
It's not an awful point and click game, but it is a really meh point and click game.

51

Poppy Playtime
Poppy Playtime
I be shitten my britches Mr. Squidward.

52

First Class Trouble
First Class Trouble
It's pretty much just Among Us but with a very eh retroesque '60s aesthetic, a somehow a surprisingly complicated control scheme, and more simplistic jobs.

53

Skatebird
Skatebird
Honestly, this one just made me really depressed because I was really looking forward to it.

54

Sonic Colors: Ultimate
Sonic Colors: Ultimate
It's a much worse version of a Wii game that somehow runs and looks worse and has a new OST full of awful remixes of the much better original OST.

55

Biomutant
Biomutant
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

56

My Friend Peppa Pig
My Friend Peppa Pig
I'm sure if I was a kid and also liked Peppa Pig I'd be going crazy for this game, but I'm a 21 year old adult and and I don't think this game was made for me.

57

Grand Theft Auto III: The Definitive Edition
Grand Theft Auto III: The Definitive Edition
It controls a lot better than the original but it's also missing some of the best parts of the original making it possibly the worst way to play it.

58

Gal*Gun Returns
Gal*Gun Returns
I mean it controls fine for an on-rails shooter, I just think the idea of shooting underaged girls until they orgasm just kinda fucked.

59

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition
It's the same fantastic game only missing the best parts of said game. Making it the worst way to even play the game.

60

Lust from Beyond
Lust from Beyond
I expect better from a horror/porn game.

61

HuniePop 2: Double Date
HuniePop 2: Double Date
it takes everything from the first game and somehow makes it worse.

62

Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance
Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance
I know nothing about DnD, so I have no idea if this is a good representation of the board game or not. So far I'm not impressed.

63

Crazy Chicken Compilation
Crazy Chicken Compilation
The PS5 is the true next-gen system we've been waiting for.

64

Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach
Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach
The most disappointing game I've played all year, and I'm not even a super fan of this series.

65

Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality
Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality
I'll say this much it perfectly encapsulates my feelings on the current run of the show. It's boring, forgettable, and it looks like ass.

66

Cuckold Simulator
Cuckold Simulator
You can actually go on Reddit in this game and that was more attention to detail than I actually expected for this game. So good job................. I guess.

67

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - The Definitive Edition
Quite literally the worst way to play this game.

68

Far Cry 6
Far Cry 6
This game deserves to be shunned and laugh at. We shouldn't be ok with the game coming out like this. If I'm gonna be paying 70 dollars for games from now on we deserve better.
This game is a proof of concept; that you can make a game so devoid of content, so devoid of meaning, so utterly devoid of a purpose, and it'll still sell.

No more, I'm so fucking tired of it and it needs to change.

69

Balan Wonderworld
Balan Wonderworld
20 dollars well spent

70

Popeye
Popeye
A literal con job.

71

The Medium
The Medium
A truly boring game with an even more disgusting message.

In the case of "The Medium", what message are you referring to? Keep in mind, I've never played it (never intend to) but I want to know because that seems interesting.
