Our annual top 10 list returns but this time it's only 5 games each. Will Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 win our GOTY? What about Silksong? Is Silksong even fun? It's hard to say. Remember Death Stranding 2? Me neither! But hey, it was a pretty solid year for games (unless you make them, then oof). Thanks for watching and reading this amazing description. Is anyone even reading this description? Probably not!!
