Despite its many flaws: TotK. Metroid Prime remaster is great too.

Warms my heart to see Pikmin with 5% :.)

In a year with Metroid remasters, Zelda, Final Fantasy, etc etc., this just feels so good.

I can tell you my favourite, but I’m not a professional video game critic who has enough expertise to determine what the best is.

But in terms of favourites:

On that list: Tears of the Kingdom, easily.
Overall: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection - especially FF6 and FF4.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

TotK. Despite it also having the ability to annoy me to no end, it had me completely forget about PSVR2.

However no BG3 yet, and playing that together in split-screen co-op will be a serious contender to TotK. Got about a month left to finish up with TotK.
RE4 remake in VR can also come out on top, RE8 in VR was truly jaw dropping (completed 4 times)

I have played RE (original) in VR for Oculus Quest and yeah, it's amazing. Made RE 4 my favorite RE again after RE 2 remake became my favorite

Haven't played anything from this year yet. I'm still working on older games, plus I haven't had the money to buy anything new. If I get anything that was released this year, it'll probably be Pikmin 4 or Super Mario Wonder, maybe Baldur's Gate 3.

Tears of the Kingdom, no contest.

My second place game so far is Fire Emblem Engage. I do plan to try Baldur's Gate 3 in September when it comes out on platforms I own (it's actually getting a MacOS version!), and I'm looking forward to SMRPG and Star Ocean: The Second Story. I also have a metric fuckton of Nihon Falcom to get through this year. I've been eating well. My second most-played game after Zelda, surprisingly, is Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.

ToTK no contest, I already played 100+ hours and I feel like I'm barely starting.

I'm currently playing RE4 and I like it, but for some reason I'm not enjoying it that much. I don't know maybe I just like the original too much but something feels off. And for some reason it's giving me motion sickness, which is weird because it has happened to me with FPS games but this is the first time it happens with a 3rd person game.

So yeah Zelda it is and I think RE4 definitely won't dethrone it.
