I wrapped up Outer Worlds 2 over the weekend and really enjoyed it. And as someone who has replayed Fallout 3/NV too many times, it's nice to have a new Bethesda-like FPS/RPG to play around with until Fallout 5 arrives in 2035.
It's not Fallout 5, but it's close enough

Folks, tell me what your favorite in-game moments were this year. This can be a narrative moment, a new mechanic introduction, or whatever you interpret that question to mean. RTs appreciated

Control was my GOTY in 2019 and it remains so now. One of my all time favorites. Got the platinum on PS4 and PS5.
Quote this with what you would have said your game of the year was at the end of 2019, and what you would say your favourite game of 2019 is now, if it differs

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.
