I honestly forgot about Metal Gear Survive...

[MysteriousJojo]

For those who didn’t see the website version, here are his honorable mentions:

Far Cry 5
+ Good for a Ubisoft sandbox
- A Ubisoft sandbox

The Inpatient
- No redeeming qualities
+ At least mercifully brief

Just Cause 4
- Lazy cash-in sequel
+ Still fun to stick jet thrusters to goats

Vampyr
- Britain at its most boring
+ ... if it weren't for We Happy Few

Not Tonight
+ Engaging and funny
- Preferred it when Lucas Pope did it

God of War 4
+
-

Yahtzee probably the only critic that could not include RDR2 in his top 5 games of the year and go unscathed in the comments section.

I am disappointed that hunt down the freeman didn't get put in the bin with ride to hell

[junamboqcg]

Oh god, Yahtzee, I was eating!





I did not need to see Metal Gear Survive again.

[texasranger]

The best fallout that came out last year was a Tom cruise movie?

[dylaxiusmccoy]

Sure, you're dreading Smash Bros Ultimate now, but just wait until Kingdom Hearts 3 drops and you're bombarded for the next three eternities with demands to review it.

The only thing that shocked me is that it's taken you this long to get bored of Assassins Creed

[Nenerineri]

You’re the whole reason I played Return of the Obra Dinn and I’m absolutely in love with it too.

[rebelappliance]

So happy that Subnautica got the second best spot. It definitely deserved it what with all the work the developers put into it.

[RegretfulDeadMan]

"FUCK!!!"
Yahtzee Crowshaw-2019

[EvilExcalibur]

That last one was particularly venomous even for old Yahtzee.

And I couldn't love it any more. The summary of the game anyway, not the game itself.

[rjdruhan]

The "4th best" Star Control: Origins can't even be purchased right now on Steam or GOG due to the DMCA Takedown and pending legal battle.

[EVC]

I’m surprised that Yahtzee never played Celeste.

[Fraggle-ho]

watched this while eating. this was a mistake.

[Zooooch]

"A limbo dancing compatition at the geothermal power plant", where do you come up with this gold?

[angelbarrera]

Oh yeah I forgot about hunt down the freeman. And now that I remember I shall start drinking so I can forget it again.

[scottdevnull]

why did you have to remind us MG Survive existed.

[madbrosheo]

Waaay too much realistic poop in the video. I think I'm going to puke.
