Rather advanced gameplay, extremely fast-paced and chaotic, quite heavy to run, even with most of it running on servers.
But damn when it was first released a year ago, I instantly got hooked from the vibes and then stayed for the breath of fresh air in the FPS genre. The description above also happens to match really well with my ADHD tendencies.
There’s a reason why it took 47% of my entire play time this year.
I played every beta of the Finals that I could get accepted into. It felt like what I wanted a new Battlefield game to be. The destructible floors and bridges made it so much fun to set up traps in ways no other game made it possible.
Weirdly enough I have yet to install it since its full release. Still looks like the same amount of fun!
Powershift (tug-of-war meets convoy on a moving platform) Terminal Attack (Search & Destroy, but it’s hacking terminals instead)
Sys$Horizon, new map, “unfinished/leaked” 80s style
Hacking-themed gadgets such as the dematerializer and the gateway
Weapons ofc (I don’t remember which ones tho)
Season 3: Japan theme:
We don’t talk about ranked changes
New game-mode: World Tour (similar to unranked tournament, but 8 teams total, win points progression and end-of-season multibuck rewards)
Bow for light, dual blades for medium, winch claw for heavy
Map: Kyoto 1568
Season 4: Sponsorships
Reverted previous season’s ranked changes
New careers: sponsorships (choose which in-game sponsor to sign with, get prizes with their themes and compete on world tour to determine which sponsor wins the season) (yes, you can bet people started dissing each other for fun)
Dual eagles for heavy, dmr for medium, shotgun for light
Fortune Stadium: the best parts of previous maps, mashed into one and themed with the season sponsors’ colors
Season 5: Time for la fiesta, it’s the anniversary
New map: Bernal, Mexico
New gadgets: Black hole for lights, chain trap for heavy
Shak-50 for heavy, some incendiary shotgun for medium
Jukebox to relive all the OST from current and previous seasons
2 new sponsors, one returning
That’s only what I remember from the top of my head, they added so much. Not to mention the copious amount of high quality cosmetics and the very forgiving monetization
Helldivers 2. Enjoyed the first one. Although I was skeptical of the third person view they proposed for the second one because the game can be so chaotic, I am enjoying the second one even more.
I used to play Lord of the Rings Online every year in December because they have some neat events. Haven’t done it for a while (lost my install with a hard drive and never reinstalled).
According to Steam, I spent most hours this year playing Book of Hours. (The word “Hours” is in the name of the game, so what choice did I have?) It is an amazing game, and I recommend it to anyone who likes cozy games with lots of lore to explore.
However, there is one game that I must confess I had even more fun with, even though it’s relatively short: The Pristine Cut of Slay the Princess.
I can’t really say much about it other than that it’s a horror visual novel with excellent voice acting and incredibly good writing, as almost any detail of the game’s story would be a spoiler.
(Edit: I know, both of those games released last year, but the question was about which Steam Replay and which games one had fun with this year - not about games that released this year.)
I’d been starting to get into it when the Android release dropped and then I was cooked. Now between Steam/Android I’ve always got a run going somewhere.

I only started the free trial recently, 100 or so hours in. I’m somewhere before the ultima weapon fight. It’s currently on pause because other games took over my life.
Tombstone is out! Skilling MMO (So think runescape) with a retro-future wild west type theme and pixel gfx that can be played from steam, its own client (available on itch), a browser, or android. Runs on anything, obscenely fast update pace, developers on discord respond to issues dummy fast. I’m currently playing tombstone.
this is something they do by mechanics, after your gamepass is expired for long enough it starts offering it again, I think it’s like 6 months of something. They want you to get it and forget about it or decide to continue the sub
