I'd say it was a decent year. In many respect, it was a very good year for me, as I put in a shitload of time having tons of fun on Halo Infinite. However, that's a 2021 release, so I guess I shouldn't count it in my review of the year.
Of the games that released this year that I've played, God of War is probably my favorite, though I'm not done with it yet. Plague Tale was also very good. I haven't played Elden Ring, but I'm confident that it is also great. I don't have a whole lot of names in my second tier of games though. So, I can't call it a great year.
I basically said it there, but strictly speaking my answer to the bonus question is God of War.
