For most of the game I had even expected this title to slot higher up on the list, as the lootbox thing was just a thing that I was able to ignore. There’s collectibles a plenty with frequent named Orc encounters to break up any sense of monotony. And maybe wondering why there was a sexy spider lady in the first place. This one was really all about the interplay between Talion and Celebrimbor as you try to work your way through figuring out what the sexy spider lady was up to. The story wasn’t the best but it kept my attention long enough to be interested beyond mindless orc shenanigans. I was excited to find that my strongest nemesis from the first game imported himself in to Shadow of War, and then tracked me down across multiple zones. If you enjoyed the original, it’s basically all of the same, but more. The follow up to the 2014 hit success Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, the majority of this game did not deviate from the formula that made its predecessor a success. There was a lot of lootbox based controversy with this one, but I still enjoyed enough of it for long enough that I’m giving it the pity pick at the 10 slot. Just take gander here at Emil’s Theme! (Why does he even need money?) I’m going to put it on and listen again right now.īest Multitask Game: Divinity: Original Sin 2 Even the humorous bits will end up stuck in your head. There’s really no let up as each song lends itself to the worlds atmosphere in way that keeps you fully engaged. It’s haunting when it needs to be, dramatic during moments of high tension, but still kicks into full gear when the action gets hot and heavy, without missing a literal beat. There hasn’t been a game since Final Fantasy VI that I’ve gone out of my way to listen to, on repeat. Each area in the game has it’s own track, and it manages to nail everything just so perfectly in order to increase the immersion. It’s two and a half hours of sheer audio joy. As I was with pretty much everything in Nier, I was simply blown away by the soundtrack.

With all due respect to Cuphead, which has a wonderful soundtrack in it’s own right, Nier’s is simply a step above.

With that said, let’s jump right in and start with some awards, because this is my list and I can put this in any order that I want to. Instead, what this does Is open up some room for some more deserving titles. There aren’t too many Unknowns why but let’s just say that it didn’t make through the scrutiny of the gaming Battlegrounds. For example, you might notice the lack of a certain multi Player experience here in my choices. Especially since they’re all wrong about the things and I yelled at them for it.

So hello friends! I can’t believe those suckers wonderful folks let me join them this year. Play it on, maaan.Īs it turns out, this actually is the first time I’ve ever written anything here for Bottled Fuchsia. With all due respect to Chris Jericho, this is the list that you want to be on.
