It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Remember for the first half of the year every new release competed with the last to be "the worst release of all time". The second half of the year was spectacular though!

This past year started the show with a show stopper when Hi-Fi Rush came out. Then things started popping off in spring.

Isn't that the game full of voice acting by alleged abuser and confirmed creep Justin Roiland?

You're thinking of High On Life, the FPS metroidvania from last year. Hi-Fi Rush is the cel shaded character action game where you're essentially playing a Saturday morning cartoon version of Devil May Cry in time with music.

Oh, I remember that now, thanks. I think I heard it described as being similar to sunset overdrive?

Maybe in tone, but otherwise, I wouldn't compare them. Check out some footage. It's on Game Pass, and it's on sale. I loved it and would recommend it.

you could have just googled this--and the answer is no, you're either accidentally making something up wholesale here or confusing this with High on Life, a completely unrelated game which was made by a studio he helped found but which he resigned from.
