Sounds like you describing yourself.




It was the perfect length and it scored an 87 - 89 meta/open.
If anything it was underrated, its a borderline perfect game, tight controls, good set pieces, simple yet concise story(its not trying to be too clever), if it had TitanFalls level of MP customization and crossplay to keep the servers alive, it would be my shooter of the decade 2010 - 2020.
It only loses out to BF4 (1 by proxy) because god damn that game got good once they sorted out its performance issues and the DLC was complete.

Damn now I really want to play BF4 and Titanfall2, off to Steam I go!

I've finished it on release. It was 5 hours long and nothing special. it is what it is for me.
It's an ok game but I don't even remember much about it.

Here's mine:

2023: Alan Wake II
2022: Kirby and the Forgotten Land
2021: Psychonauts 2
2020: The Last of Us: Part II
2019: Resident Evil 2
2018: Marvel's Spider-Man
2017: Super Mario Odyssey
2016: DOOM
2015: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
2014: Sunset Overdrive
2013: The Last of Us

Sunset Overdrive is a solid choice. This, Titanfall and Dead Rising 3 should have been the standard for the whole Xbox one generation.

overrated and too short

I don't mind that a game is short as long as its great but yeah i also find Titanfall 2 overrated.
I never played the multiplayer part but the single player part of the game isn't anything special outside of those robot sections.
I just don't get the praise, its gameplay is a mesh between CoD and BF so in terms of gunplay i think it has nothing impressive, but what bothered me the most is the extreme amount of handholding, the game is too casual and too easy, the boss fights are a joke and the mechanics are super shallow and easy.
I always find people comparing it to DOOM but wow the gap couldn't be any bigger imo.
I did like the Cause and Effect mission, that one was great and the robot abilities are nice and all, but other than that, nothing really top tier there, a slightly better FPS than the annual CoD and BF.

2018: Yakuza Zero - The best narrative in the series expands on the past of Kiryu and Majima with some of the best beat 'em up action in the series.

Yakuza fucking Zero in 2018? A 2015 game that was localized for the West in January 2017?
Edit: uh ok, you probably mean the PC release.

If you don't have DOOM for 2016, you should probably ask yourself what's wrong with you.

You remember having a good time, and that what really matters.
Unless you were rushing cuz its releases was cursed, you should have enjoy bbs evolution over time, and should have multiple levels you wanted to replay later(if not the first test), and when the servers were alive, your frustration would have been lack of customization........the DLCs helped but it was probably too late for that.
