I’ll name some that people haven’t named yet
Persona 5/5 Royal: This game. This was the game that got me into the Persona series properly, and one of the games that showed me how important presentation and style can be for a game, cause man does Persona5/5 Royal prove it. The reason I have them separated is obviously because of Royal being the “expanded” version of Persona 5, and you wan talk about improving on an already well made game, I’d say that’s what Royal easily did. From new music, to quality of life changes, to expansion on a certain character as well as introduction to two new characters, it’s hard to find too many flaws in the game, especially if you’re a turn-based jrpg fan
Devil May Cry 5: This was a game that people thought was unlikely to happen. Capcom had made the decision (at that time) to reboot the series with Ninja Theory, and after that, it seemed like DMC (classic) would remain dormant for a long time, until they announced it at E3. When it came out in 2018, you’d be hard pressed to find a better action game. Capcom knocked it out of the park with this one. From the beautiful graphics with the RE engine, to the satisfying gameplay of all three (well, now four) playable characters. DMC had finally made a return, and it returned with a bang. Speaking of Capcom knocking it out of the park
3. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village. The Resident evil franchise was at an interesting crossroads. They were successful with 6, but can reception seemed to be at an all time low. That being said, they made the decision to return to the series’ survival horror roots, so here came RE7. And goddamn was this game fantastic, from the atmosphere and tension to some memorable antagonists like Jack and Marguerite Baker, this game was phenomenal, along with its DLC. That being said, I give Capcom props for continuing that momentum with Village. It was more action oriented than 7, but still maintained that creepy yet fun atmosphere. Just goes to show that sometimes, ya just need to go back to basics
I’ll probably update this later to include others
