Your verdict for the gaming year 2021?

Mediocre, too many issues with online gaming. Off-line was great though, Ratchet and Clank was a true highlight.

Yet PSN is getting more and more unstable and FS2020 has had tons of trouble with all its online services. I've never been disconnected from GT Sport as much as in the past week. FS2020 is on hold for now as live weather and azure text to voice kept having issues.

I just found out that loading times in FH4 are short and snappy, when I'm off-line.... Connect to the internet and my loading times become much longer, sometimes up to two minutes. FH5 has no traffic when connected online, go off-line and traffic appears. (FH4 has traffic will connected, yet a lot more traffic when not connected???)

Actually by far the best I played this year was Tlou2, that felt truly next-gen, but is from 2020... Astro's playroom was great as well, also 2020.

I just started Psychonauts 2, maybe that can elevate the year a bit more :)
