2021 has been another extremely unusual year, so hopefully it’s a bit of a treat to end it in our usual way – with the top fifty games of the last twelve months, as chosen by you.
What we said: “Chalk this one up as another slightly botched Battlefield launch – only at least this time it’s been botched in new and interesting ways.”
“After a VERY shaky start it’s slowly becoming the game they promised,” says benchambers. “Feels like a true war with 128 players..”
“Obviously a lot of criticism for this game came out, most of it warranted, but after a few key patches, me and my friends are back having the best time in the sandbox multiplayer that is Battlefield,” says engelzman. “Driving hovercrafts up skyscrapers, clearing and taking objectives together, mowing down the enemies in helicopters together, Battlefield is simply the best game I’ve played with friends all year, and even some of its glitches are what makes it fun.”
What we said: “I wasn’t expecting Days Gone to add anything new to the genre, but both in terms of its systems and its story it’s uninspired, which is driven home by the fact that it’s endlessly, needlessly long. I’m begging you, haven’t we done this enough?”
