Wow look at that, another game nominated for GOTY that I loved and yet isn't in the top half! Yall are not prepared for how stacked this list is, lmao.
When I picked up my PS5, the only game I grabbed at the time was Elden Ring, which is not on this list because I only played it for like 20 minutes and gave up. I decided I needed a second game, and picked up a lil game called DEATHLOOP. And, holy fuck, this game is just plain FUN.
I am not a fan of the FPS genre, not in the slightest. I do not give a fuck about COD or CS or TF2 or any of them. But THIS, nah this was fun as hell. I guess all I needed were some rogue-like elements. A Rouge-like FPS was a spicy direction to take this in, lmao.
Essentially, your character is
A. Stuck in a time loop
and
B. Getting killed at the end of every day
and it's up to you to figure out how to close the loop. There's 8 people you gotta take down to close the loop, and if you kill someone in one loop then they stay dead so you don't have to do ALL of it in one loop (thankfully) so it's not as brutal as it may seem up front. All of the Eternalists are creative as hell with the ways you have to infiltrate their bases and take them out.
This is EASILY the most engaged I've ever been in any shooter game and I'd highly recommend this even if the genre isn't your thing. Just a fucking incredible game to play through, great story, gameplay is lit, it's so good.
