For me, it's gotta be Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak.
The base game was my GOTY for 2021, and the expansion retains everything that made it great while upping the challenge to make those hard-fought victories feel all the sweeter.
The challenge level is tough without feeling unfair, the new maps and monsters are awesome, and thanks to new mechanics and tweaks it plays better than ever. It's geared for enthusiasts, but it's the most fun I've had a game this year.
