No particular order, also I'm grouping some of them together because no one can stop me:

Half Life series (yes, even Blue Shift)

Monster Hunter series (but mostly World)

Abiotic Factor

Prey 2017 and the Dishonored series

Fallout 1, 2, New Vegas, and kiiinda 4 (with some mods installed)

Honorable mentions: Songs of Conquest, Path of Exile 2, Neo Scavenger, Team Fortress 2, Dark Souls 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series

Well that sucks, I really liked the newer Hitman games, hopefully ioi doesn't stick with them as a publisher.

Screw Silksong, Abiotic Factor should've won game of the year! I had a lot of fun with it and it really felt like the devs put a lot of heart into it.

I really wish Abiotic Factor at least got a nomination, it was easily my favorite game this year.

Wild, I had the opposite experience, I loved Prey (I also love the Dishonored games). What stuff did you end up not liking about Prey?

I remember watching the first trailers for this game over a decade ago. At one point it was supposed to have Mick Gordon working on the soundtrack, I'm guessing that's not the case now. I'd still love to see this game get released, but until it does I'm assuming this one is vaporware.

The last time I played, they had changed this: when you explore new areas, enemies from those areas will start spawning in old locations. I'd still like to see a randomizer option sometime in the future, but I like the new changes.
