Great list. 👍 Get on Stellar Blade ASAP. It's a crime round these parts to be sleeping on that game with tougher sentences for people who enjoy DMC and souls games. 

You recently played Stellar Blade and you'd rate DA: V higher. Honestly? 

Also, what does MP only mean on GTA4, that game had multiplayer?

Got it on my wishlist.

Might buy it on Steam first unless the PS5 version goes on sale for a lower price point.

GTA4 had fantastic multiplayer. Was the last time I actually enjoyed multiplayer. I never played Stellar Blade last year (I played it this year) so it doesn’t count and even then I probably would, no cap I greatly enjoyed DATV. 

I don't think you have to play the game the same year, that would mean you'd never be able to change your list and be stuck with a list you don't agree with. Well, with DA:V free on PS+ now and your glowing recommendation I'll still be avoiding it like the plague. 

2015: Undertale
2016: Cuphead
