I could be pedantic and say Tarkov and Seivert are both in Beta and not released on the dates you state. But by the same token they're unreleased games and can't feature anyway. Not to mention this is all moot as I'm the only one who plays them 🤣

 

But cheers for sorting this out, shame a few more didn't manage to enter nominations 👏👊

I know there was some really good releases this year, but Sea of Stars just hit me in the feels with that nostalgia of sitting in front of a TV when I was young, playing some SNES gems.  Beauty 2D art/graphics.  Wonderful score, and a great story with some excellent gameplay.

Yeah games like Tarkov and Seivert are difficult as they are in Beta, then you have other games in early access. Then you have Games like Fortnite that continué to reinvent themselves every year! 
 

Hopefully this final list is a pretty good representation of the Forever Gaming community!

I voted for Sea of Stars too, I absolutely loved it! Whilst I wasn’t really satisfied with the ending, the full journey The game takes you in os simply brilliant!

I voted but realise I messed up one of my votes and put Final Fantasy XVI, I should have picked Hogwarts Legacy woops!

 

My other 2 choices are Baldurs Gate 3 and Fire Emblem Engage, I played Baldurs gate in turn based and I tend to enjoy more strategic combat so you can see why Fire emblem was my other pick. Both games were great in there own way -

 

Baldurs Gate 3 - The relationships between characters, the creativity in how you can approach quests, I even got around one boss I was struggling with by talking to him with one person and then pushing him off a cliff with another. If anyone ends up picking this up on PS5 I would be up for playing a co-op playthrough and approaching things a bit differently ^_^

 

Fire Emblem Engage - The story is decent, the colours are wonderful and happy and it keeps a particularly refined combat system going along lovely.

My voting is slightly unfair as you'll see.

 

I voted for Alan Wake 2 because my company worked on it, Baldurs Gate 3 because my mate Neil won best actor for his role in it and Zelda because it's the only game on there I've played and it's brilliant.

This is why i'm buying it and looking forward to it even more now I know you can play turn based.

I don't know how you coped with the breaking weapons mechanic, killed all the fun I was having on the first one for me!

Thanks for letting me know, I will make a note to remove a count from Final Fantasy 16 and add one to Hogwarts Legacy! 
 

Thanks to everyone who has voted so far!

It is very frustrating but I liked the added challenge, I haven’t touched it in a while now and no idea how far along I am in the game.

Just a little reminder to anyone who hasn’t made the vote yet that the Poll will close in just over 24 hours! 

[WelchyTV 362]

The poll is now CLOSED! 
 

Thanks to all who voted, and sorry for anyone who didn’t get the chance too but had it close it at some point! 
 

You can see the results above, but I will make a video to present the results anyway! Watch this space. 

[WelchyTV 362]

Ok so the video is practically ready to go. I will be uploading it to YouTube and to this website. I just wanted to check that it is ok for me to use the Forever Gaming Logo on the Thumbnail for the video? 
 

I assume it would be but thought it’s better to double check! If someone can let me know that would be great and il have the video uploaded soon!

[Luseth 1,757]

I would have thought so, will tag @GazzaGarratt just to check.
