    I'm not typically a jrpg fan but I keep seeing this metaphor game pop up with both critical and player acclaim. Might have to step out of my comfort zone and check it out.

    There is a demo on both Xbox and Steam so you can try it out. On Xbox it's an "Xbox Play Anywhere" title, meaning a single license purchase is good on both Xbox for PC and console.

    FYI, it's turn-based. I recall you mentioning that doesn't appeal to you.

    Ah yeah. Turn based is pretty snoozy to me. I might try the demo, though, since there is one.

    Well of all those games I would agree with Dragon’s Dogma 2.

    I would say, in no particular order…

    Dragon’s Dogma 2
    Indiana Jones and the Great Circle 
    Clock Tower (old game redone)
    Silent Hill (old game redone)

    And I guess that’s it for games released this year.

    To finish the list I’ve been playing…

    Daggerfall
    Skyrim
    Morrowind
    Elder Scrolls Online 
    Lord of the Rings Online 
    Elden Ring 


    Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."

    Original Skyrim: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/109547

    Try the "Special Edition." 'Cause it's "Special." https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/64878/?tab=description

    This isn't about games released this year, so all good! These are just games that have heavily influenced and dominated my game time this year. Its awesome to see you still doing Daggerfall! I'd love a total remake of that in Skyrim's engine or something similar.

    I played Clock Tower when it first came out and it haunted my dreams. I don't think I'll play it again lol.

    This year I finally decided to go though both backlog and also try out Persona 3 Reloaded.

    What a master pieces these games are story wise. Especially going through and finally finishing Persona 5 Royal.

    Atlus is a master in JRPG's and while its not my most favorite genre, they just deliver in both quality and story telling.

    Playing Metaphor right now and while about 25% in, I can already see it being another Atlus masterpiece.

    I guess, after playing Persona 4 Golden back in the PS Vita days, I have finally become an Atlus fan lol.
