I didn't play much this year, but I played some good games. Here is the list I ended up with - Forza Horizon 5, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Halo Infinite, Dishonored: Definitive Edition, Batman: Arkham Knight.

I'm a fan of the original too. I love the opening of the game. There's a frantic pace to it; the game tosses you straight into its combat and traversal mechanics, immediately having you fight some escaped convicts before sticking you to the back of a rampaging Rhino. I love this game.
