Outriders isn’t my friends’ cup of tea. The most my group has ever dipped into the looter shooter genre was with Borderlands, but that was more for its FPS spark and charismatic spunk than anything else.

When Hollywood’s history in the 2010s is written, it will be called the era of the big, extravagant shared universes. There were superheroes, yes, from Marvel Studios to DC Films; but there was also the failure to launch the Universal Monsters into the “Dark Universe,” and Star Wars going to TV. And then there was the MonsterVerse. Pound for pound, there was nothing bigger in scale (particularly when it came to protagonists’ height) than this Americanized vision of the kaiju....

When asked what my game of the year is I’ll admit that at first, my thoughts turned to Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I even made a case for why it deserved the accolade. However, after thinking about my gaming habits this year, as well as those of my family, I realized that there was only one answer to this question. My game of the year isn’t actually a game at all but rather a collection of games we have all dipped in and out of over the last nine months in particular....
