Yes a decent month to start 2024! 
 
I loved A Plague Tale Réquiem! Nobody saves the world was decent but have never tried Evil West! 
 
Hopefully the rest of 2024 will have lineups like this … 🤣

Beat Lies of P last night, the first souls like I have ever beaten! I’ve tried Bloodborne, Sekiro, Demon Souls and Mortal Shell in the past but gave up with all of them pretty early on! 
 
I persevered with this game as I loved the setting and the idea for the story, and I’m glad I did as I ended up loving it! 
 
I thought the combat was fantastic and particularly liked the mechanic where successfully parrying could break the enemy weapon! However, I found the Legion arm to be mostly useless, and felt like using any larger weapons put you at a massive disadvantage which meant I didn’t experiment with weapons as much as I would have liked! 
 
The visuals and audio design were great though and the story was interesting and more “in your face” than the other souls games, but I would still have liked the story to take more of a central part of the game. 
 
Overall, really enjoyed the game and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys souls games. I gave it a score of 8.4 on my instagram where I usually post my reviews! I enjoyed it so much that I’m actually considering going back and trying Bloodborne or Demon Souls again?! 
 
Anyone else beaten this that thinks I’m crazy or think it deserves more than 8.4?

Thanks for the nominations so far everyone! 
 
We have a good selection of games already, but I will leave the nomination process open until the 28th to give a few more days for people to nominate if they would like to! 
 
Have a fantastic Christmas for all those who celebrate! 

If you read the previous Game of the Year topic, you’ll know I’ve been planning this for a week or so! It’s time to start the process and determine the nominees! 
 
Everyone, please respond in this topic with the 5 games you want to nominate for Game of the Year! The only rule is that the game must have originally released in the year 2023 (e.g. if the game released on another console in 2022, but came to your console in 2023, this would not be eligible).
 
I will ‘Stop the count’ on Christmas Day. I will then open a poll after the Christmas break (hopefully the 29th/30th) with all the nominated games. We have a maximum entry of 20 games, so the games with the least amount of nominations will have to miss out if we have more than 20 nominated! So be sure to nominate the our favourite games even if you’ve seen someone else nominate it! 
 
I will post more about the poll voting process when that time is nearer, but for now reply to this post with your 5 nominations (or less if you haven’t played 5 games worthy of nomination!!)
 
If you can share this with as many different members as possible to make this is varied as a true representation of the Forever Gaming community! 
 
I will start the process with my 5 nominations in no particular order:
 
- Lies of P
- Spider-Man 2
- Star Wars Jedi Survivor 
- Sea of Stars
- Starfield
 
(A lot of ‘stars’ this year …)

Fellow Gooner here, hopefully going back to the top of the table tomorrow night! 
 
Welcome to FG, im still relatively new here too and everyone has been very welcoming! I’m a console player so doubt we will get to play together much but im sure we will interact on here! 

Ok month for January.  Evil West was crap IMO, but the other games are decent.

I realised looking at this topic, much of my list of games I've enjoyed most this year weren't released this year. But I'll do an honest top 5 even if my games don't make the final poll.
 
1. Zero Sievert 
2. Elden Ring
3. Escape From Tarkov
4. Cyberpunk 2077
5. Warhammer 40k Boltgun
 

Haha thanks mate, done!

Well then, I guess there’s no time like the present to get this started. Rather than starting a new topic, we may as well do it in this one!

I would definitely be interested in joining @Lurchzy, however as a Dad of one (and soon to be Two) my available is sporadic at best! 
 
Happy to be a reserve?!
