As usual, I haven't played enough recent games to make a full list. I'm sure Metro Exodus would've gotten a spot as best shooter, but I just haven't played it enough to fully judge it.
Likewise I only played Gears 5 and WW:Z online this year, so they automatically made the list. I had fun with both in multiplayer.
Furthermore I can only judge the visuals in DMC V.
