Yup, here it is: the top five games of 2021 according to yours truly! And I actually do this by the calendar, and not because I'm catering to ads trying to make extra holiday sales.

And yes, there is a full written version of this complete with links to each review! http://zyro-eg.com/2021/12/30/the-top-five-games-of-2021/

Who are you ?

He's Yours Truly , or if were being pedantic Yours Truly! :D

That's a very good top five. All those games were very praised.

I would add Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, but I'm not sure which game I would remove...

Good list, very solid games and love to all three platforms here.

OP named himself after Xerox..... Strange.

Great to see Rise at number 1, right where it belongs! Kudos!!

"He's Yours Truly" "H E Y R U L" "H Y R U L E" OHHHH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR.

A few comments on the video talk about different games, and the reality is that if I had gone beyond five, the competition really heats up with Metroid Dread, Returnal, REVillage, Psychonauts 2, and FIST all vying for the next 5 spots.

For the record, there wasn't a goal to have all three (four? PC?) platforms there, it just turned out that way lol

I'm still surprised at how long they've waited to properly bring DLC... I know I'LL be playing Sunbreak, but I wonder how many people will even be around or come back around... But yes, Rise definitely kept me from sleeping right! lol

Yeah, I look forward to Sunbreak as well, but I guess most people will play that on PC.

I have some doubts: I think MHRise may sell decently on PC, but the bulk of people are still on Switch.  And if they're anything like me, I have a ton of hours I'm not about to throw away just for proper higher resolution/framerate and better texture filtering lol
