Anyone know what happened to the previous video game thread?

To the above I'll add the Jedi Survivor trailer, which I think looks really excellent.
And Hades II, definitely pumped for this one as the first is brilliant. Wasn't expecting a sequel since Supergiant Games hasn't done a sequel yet, very excited!
looking forward to that Horizon Forbidden West DLC. Frozen Wilds was really good, so hoping this will be similar.
I was kind of let down by Forbidden West and have no desire to play the DLC. I really liked the first game but this one just didn't click for me. It wasn't bad but didn't grab me as I finished it out of obligation. Kind of like some of the Far Cry games. I think I may have liked it better if it wasn't launched so close to Elden Ring that is just so good that a game like Horizon seems kind of unremarkable by comparison.
I still haven't played it. Too many other things. I have been playing a decent amount of Hades lately, weirdly I never really got that into it previously, not being a big fan of the genre, but it managed to sink its hooks in a couple of weeks ago and I get why people find it so addictive. So I'll definitely grab the sequel.

Yeah Hades is the opposite of my style of game but it was so good I had to play it. The setting where it makes it just a little easier when you die was perfect for me, let me play the game and have my skill level increase and the game come down to meet at what I could do. I probably wouldn't have gone nearly as far without that, and if I just had a god mode I wouldn't have played it for as long as I did either.
Celeste was the previous game that is not in my usual wheelhouse but was so good I had to play it.

Looking for a Switch recommendation for my 8 year old. We play Mario Kart together, and other titles he has liked include Mario Maker 2, Riverbond, Minecraft, the various Mario games, among some others I can’t remember. I think he’s a bit young for Zelda Breath of the Wild, although I have that one already anyways. Thoughts?

Kirby and the Forgotten Land was a pretty fun one this year.

just saw the Game Awards results. With Ragnarök and Elden Ring in the mix, it's not surprising that games like A Plague Tale: Requiem were left empty-handed, but that this game didn't even win Best Soundtrack still makes me sad. That soundtrack was a god-damn masterpiece.

Honestly I'd rather play a game based on that than a CoD game.
