1. Astro Bot

PS VR, so bloody cool. Still makes me smile thinking about this game. Got the Mario64 moment ;-)

2. Destiny 2

2018, year of D2. Although the base game was a massive disappointment, the Forsaken DLC was and still is fantastic. so much to it. I hope they learn from Warframe and WOW

3. Return of the Obra Dinn

Only just started this, but already YESSSS. Unique and a great palate cleanser from all the shooting games. Agatha Christie time. Love the mechanics

4. Divinity: Original Sin II

I can see me playing this for years. wonderful game, compelling story and great characters

5. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Hadn’t played a Assassins Creed game for years, but the feedback on this was positive. So i thought i give it a try, so glad i did.

Looks and plays so well, i also adore the world they have created

6. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds

Still my goto game. love the gameplay loop. and some great laughs with my mates. Looking forward to more DLC

Me and Jim in the Jeep as it explodes, still makes me laugh. Jim screaming, Shoot him, he is behind the tree, I cant see him, I cant even see a bloody tree

:-)

7. Farpoint

Farpoint was one of the reasons I got a VR headset. Bloody love it. And this puts me in the world of starship troopers. great by me

8. Beat Saber

PS VR. First played this at Insomnia with my son. Bought it to play with the family at Christmas. Fun game, bloody hard. the only negative i have really is that my Son owned my :-(

9. Nex Machina: Death Machine

have enjoyed all Housemarque SHMUPs. Fast, tight controls and banging soundtrack. Like been on my Amiga ;-)

10. PlayStation VR Worlds

had so much fun with the family, a true game changer. Everyone into games needs to give VR a try IMO

11. Warframe

The game that got me larking back with the Cult Clan, brilliant multi-layered game. But more than I was able to chat and laugh with Den, John, Steve and Jim

12. Fortnite

Still cant get used to building when someone shots at me, but at least it allowed me to lark online with my son Luke. ;-)

13. Red Dead Redemption II

an amazing technical accomplishment, but for some reason was lacking a pull for me. The shooting mechanics bloody awful. Might try and go back in a few months

14. Monster Hunter: World

had a fun 2 months, whilst Bungie fixed destiny 2 ;-)

15. Vampyr

spent hrs in the scary world, enjoyed the world. but in the end, the story wasn’t enough to keep me going. but enjoyed the hrs i did

16. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Switch, played DLC. amazing. Just need more hrs in a day to play more games

17. Realm Royale

Played it for a few weeks with the kids, was fun

18. Ori and the Blind Forest

Moved to 4k and got a xbox one. This game plays and looks bloody nice, quite hard

19. Golf Story

such an original take on RPG. made the commute to London go quicker

20. Aqua Kitty: Milk Mine Defender

my goto SHMUP

21. No Man’s Sky

The update got me back into it, and sunk another 60 hrs ;-)

well done hello games, just wish i had more time to spend in this universe

22. Dead Cells

switch holiday abroad goodness

23. Sea of Thieves

wow, the first game in years that i traded-in. Paid full price when i picked up an Xbox X. seemed to much like a alpha release to me. Created a nice world, but not enough in it. In the end traded it in, and played it with gamepass

24. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

it was good, not as good as the original. but solid fps

25. Hollow Knight

switch holiday abroad goodness. so Hard. in the end our Luke managed to grind past a few bosses

26. Pac-Man 256

loved pacman when i was 13 at the local youth club, still love it now.

28. Star Wars Battlefront

Got it to play the VE Starwars mission, holy crap. brought tears to my eyes

29. Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap

Picked this up for the Switch, love a bit of Wonderboy. Although think i would have also liked a true version of the wonderboy 1
