To make it clear, I wasn’t trying to suggest rereleases are “less than”, ME Legendary is above and beyond the best three games I have played this year. I just think it muddles the conversation. I think it is better to leave those out of it when it comes to a GOTY conversation and focus just on what actually came out originally in the year of conversation. I think that makes more sense. And with that context in mind, the year didn’t really start picking up for me until June time with Stories 2 (as I played Rise later in the year). The first five months were busts for me.

Oh man, I’ve alwaaaaay got 5 years worth of backlog at any given time. Droughts don’t exist for me. There is at least 150 games I’ve started on Switch and have been meaning to get back to, but stopped playing because something else came out which caught my attention.
Could probably go the rest of the generation without a single new game announced beyond what we know about already, and I’d still be busy catching up by the time next gen launches.
Not that that’s a desirable outcome. There’s something to be said for playing a game at its release and partaking in the hype with everyone else, sharing in the discussions. I have no problem playing a game years later because it’s not like it gets less fun by the day. But sharing in the excitement does add a little something extra to the experience. So I’m always thrilled when more games release. It’s kind of addicting actually. The anticipation of new games is almost as entertaining as playing the games themselves.

I find sharing the hype is great up to and including release day, but then after that it's better to duck out. Too many spoilers, people shoving how quickly they're progressing down your throat, or being a buzzkill. So I tend to just withdraw and enjoy it in my own time. With work and kids I can't keep up with the free and singles so I'm better off not trying.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
There's some fire sales going on in the eShop. Absolute bangers for cheap- Borderlands Collection, XCOM 2, South Park, etc etc. Worth checking out. Can make out like a bandit.
Might be hard to find time to play now, what with all the games that released in the past month. But there's gonna be that 45 day span between Danganronpa December 3rd and Pokémon Legends Arceus mid January. Definitely wanna have some quality games on deck to last the trip.
As I've said before, I got everything I could've wanted this year, practically. Shame I was often too busy with non-2021 games, because Pokemon Snap, Great Ace Attorney, TWEWY, No More Heroes 3 and Metroid Dread in one year feels impossible. Barring maybe NMH3, I had no reason to think I'd play these games on Switch, let alone all of them in one year until they all got announced. That's even ignoring putting out some of the few remakes I'd want to buy for full price (technically including the main reason I'll buy a PS5 someday) or weird surprises like Famicom Detective Club. It's a real dreams come true time for me. Honestly that might be why my reaction to NSO's terrible no good pricing was to just get a better deal rather than ignoring it. I wasn't gonna let Nintendo's own stupidity get in the way of me getting everything I wanted.
Meanwhile, I keep hunting for casual and kids games for both Switch and PS4.
During year 2021, I picked the 3rd party casual and kids games on PS4 version as i want to boost the quantity of my PS4 games library.
@Anti-Matter it’s not about quantity of games you have but if the games are worthy of play. If they are fun. Don’t buy games for the sake of boosting your library
@Player_One
I have decided about getting the multi console games for Nintendo Switch and PS4, which version should i get and i found if i choose to put all the multi console games on Switch only, my PS4 games collection will be very few.
So i decided to pick most of multi console games on PS4 version to balance the quantity of games i collected.
After i made a new list, i can pick until 60 PS4 games when most of multi console games on PS4. Even though, my Nintendo Switch games i can pick still way bigger than PS4 (100+) from my new list.
Also, i have observed the games i want to pick before purchasing them.

A new Metroid 5, new mainline open world-ish SMT, new AAA handheld Monster Hunter, new Monster Hunter Stories game, a new The World Ends With You game, and a new Bravely Default. Not to mention an expanded port of Cruis'n Blast, an arcade game I've been hoping to get for the last 5 years.

Only ones I properly played were Deathloop and Village and didn’t much care for either of them, deffo not my games of the year. Cool seeing stuff like SMT V and Rise make it into some of the genre categories though.
