wanted to make a complilation of all my monthly videos, so I did! I added january of 2023 in there as I never made a video on it, and I also re-edited some sections so it feels more like one continuous video instead of 12 separate ones. so yeah if you've already watched the others, at least there is some new stuff here for you, and if you haven't, this is the best way to catch up!
"Then we've got March"
That's why I felt all the time like I already watched this before XD
DAMN
this breaks my heart to say, but i struggle to get invested in / spend time playing video games now. but watching through videos like this and hearing raz and others gush about games makes me desperately want to dive back into playing these games and get lost in the worlds they create.
Same man!
One day a game will come out and it will call you back, I promise! Don't force it but never stop looking
Good luck
Same! Even if I really like playing them at the start, playing on an ongoing basis is a struggle
I think a lot of people (incl. me) feel this way these days, based on forums and subreddits. Actually stepping into a game feels like it requires a level of commitment and "initial energy" that I don't often apply. It's the same sort of thing as scrolling through RUclips videos instead of watching a movie I'm interested in... because one doesn't require me to make a decision or commit to more than a few min, I end up just "settling" for the thing that won't make me as happy, but is easier to do or requires less commitment.
@@myrimu9829 man, such a good point
lol holy crap. Wasn't expecting the timeline to be almost two hours. Nice! Will have to digest in chunks. Thank you for this!
well, if you've been keeping up with the monthly videos, a lot of it won't be new, but if you haven't peeped those, then enjoy!
@@razbutwo I mean I'll at least let it run when I go to bed one night for your algorithm. Gotta make up for me immediately clicking off when I realized I didn't have time for it
Be a loser and watch it all at once you baby
Honestly this should have been a main channel upload!!! Thanks for choosing an upload time of in the morning!
I thought about it, but I think the quality of certain things is just a little below my standards for the main channel (like this is trying to match audio that was recorded over an entire year, so while I think it is pretty solid, there are way more inconsistencies than what typically shows up on the main channel). Also, as I talked about these games the month I played them, some of my thoughts have changed a fair bit (which was reflected in my Games That Got Me Through 2023 video), and I felt like it might be a bit jarring.
so yeah idk you are probably right that this could have gone on the main channel and would have gotten way more views and benefitted me much more than it going here lol BUT I just felt more comfortable keeping second channel stuff on the second channel.
@@razbutwo there’s a lot that goes into a video, more than I could ever guess. Thanks for all the work!
Cant wait to watch a recap of videos i already watched multiple times 😭
LOL some new stuff in here atleast!
I just got Citizen Sleeper based on your recommendation, and you are 100% spot on. There is so much about this game that I enjoyed, it has high replay ability, and I was drawn completely drawn into the world. I do not have a gaming PC so I got this on Switch - the ONLY downside is on Switch my game kept crashing so I would have to redo a cycle, but the game was so fantastic I kept playing even with game crashes. Normally game crashes would have me put a game down, and they were frustrating, but I was so invested I kept playing. I'm hoping this gets updated so the game stops crashing on Switch - but for anyone even remotely interested in this game, I would highly recommend giving it a try
Have you played Lego city undercover? Heard it's good, and it's not like most games, since it's casual asf, and maybe you're burned out and you'd like it (idk tho)
These monthly videos have been some of my favourites to watch throughout the last year. It’s been a crazy year, with not as much time to play what I wanted to, but listening to your picks and recommendations (and in a way, just listening to the ups and downs with you) has been fantastic! Thank you for taking the time for putting these together, seriously! Can’t wait to see what stories we explore in 2024!
I love The Witness and i absolutely love the way The Looker makes fun of it. As with a lot of things, its funny because it's true
Ayyy love this concept. Replaying Lies of P now and needed something to listen to. This is great
I subscribed just after seeing the length of this video, and I knew the quality will be great❤
I really liked the series man. hope you can keep it up
I love your channel!! Thanks for the hard work!!
I loved this video! I will definitely be doing something similar at the end of 2024! I'll be checking out more of your stuff!
Man I really appreciate your videos.
I just want to say thank you. I enjoy your videos, on both channels and your love for FromSoft games absolutely resonates with me.
Also your sign off is perfect.
I will see you next time unless either of us decide to stop doing this.
Just discovered this channel, been watching ur videos while having my meals , very good content !
Thanks for sharing that
It felt so good to watch really
I love you videos! been watching for a couple years and you should definitely have more subs!!!!! keep it up champ
Your videos have single handedly helped me work through my depression apathy enough to play videos games myself again, thanks
Being consistently impressed is a great way to describe TOTK. A lot of my playthrough was thinking, "I wonder if I can do this" and feeling elated when I could, in fact, do that.
I wasn't able to finish Bioshock. I couldn't find the Sisters which resulted in me being severely underleveled. Half the time I couldn't figure out how to reach the destination. Glad you liked it.
How come? They're really obvious and they are marked on your map.
@@dankolord I dunno. The map is really confusing. The arrow doesn't help much because I can't figure out HOW to reach the destination, not where it is.
I’m not even a gamer but I love bioshock 1
Watch a guide? How is this a problem where this a guide on the internet for every game
This video is great to find out what games to play next
rain world is the best game ever, it's also the worst game ever, it's also a game, it is. Truly the rain of all time
Well said
Damn man, this is super cool. Love the idea
I just want to say that it makes me so happy that you played through, enjoyed and gave a spotlight to Prodigal. I've been trying to shoutout Colorgrave where I can as I think they're exceptional game creators.
~56 games in a year is crazy. Happy to hear your thoughts on so many titles
Man, what a great list!
Ohhh a 2 hours videooo
Can't wait to watch this lets goo
I only recently found your channel and you seem very good at what you do. Our opinions on games align quite well and when they don't I can always see the reasoning behind your points. It's intriguing to hear your thoughts on games whether you liked the game or not.
I have a question:
Did you play One Shot the second time? If you played it once you played only 60% of the game. The second time you play it completes the game and has only little repetition to the first playthrough. It's also shorter.
I strongly recommend playing it for the second time to get the full picture. And this comes from a person who almost never play games again, even with games like Resident Evil 2 that offer two different characters and routes to play.
What’s up raz! Found u about a month ago and love the vids!
I’ve never seen a video of yours before… and now this video makes me wanna see what you think of my favourite games inFamous 1 and 2 XD
Would absolutely LOVE to see you play Owlboy. That game is so retro and emotional and I found it to be challenging without being unplayable
I love slowly grinding away at this video while I eat or have down time at work.
Im super excited to watch this! I just finished watching the others last night, but theres always some details that are bound to be missed while I multi-task.Thank you!
Well, guess this is my cue to see each of the months for like the fourth time now! I've loved this series and excited for this year, Unless you decide to stop doing this:)
Holy smokes, I haven't even started watching yet, but I can already tell this is one heck of a video! 2023 was definitely a great year for video games!
Although I have to say, I'm kind of surprised that Armored Core 6 isn't in this list, especially considering that you played 3 other FromSoft titles this year. Is it because you haven't played it yet, or is there any other reason I'm not aware of? I'm very interested to see your honest take on AC6 because I think it's at least worth giving a shot.
Have not played it yet
@@razbutwo It's cool, time for yourself comes first!
Also, if you enjoyed ghostrunner, then I highly recommend Ultrakill, if you haven't played tried it yet.
i love dredge ! couldnt get through it the first time for whatever reason, but on my second run i played peaceful because i couldnt handle the cosmic horror in my lil fishing game idk. the fear of getting hit was debilitating, even with just traversing the waters i would bump into rocks a LOT so i know i would probably be running into monsters on my last legs.
I bought 5 games of this list for 30 bucks at the steam spring sale! Thank you so much for this. ❤
I can't stand a 1h30 movie but here I am watching Raz's 1h55 games of 2023 for the third time this week
The nobody saves the world background music floods me with nostalgia of playing little big planet on ps3 for some reason 😢
1:30:03 - I’m glad I’m not the only one that does this. I’ll go through hours of a game just for a few minute long clips 😂
I felt the same about Kentucky Route Zero! I still haven't finished it...
It feels really good to hear opinions on TotK's dungeons that isn't just bitching about them not being like traditional ones
It feels like Raz is the only content creator who has actually judged the dungeons based off their puzzle design, esthetics, atmosphere, and boss fights as opposed to just "it's not like the old ones so they're automatically bad"
If you loved Return of the Obra Dinn and The Case of the Golden Idol, you have to play Chants of Sennaar. It's definitely the most enjoyable game I played last year
I love love love OneShot. I played it at just the right time in my life for it to make the most impact, and the Solstice update along with how the characters interacted with each other, myself included, just hit in all the right ways.
I also love the idea of a game being so intent on only playing it once, and letting yourself -- like everything -- else slowly forget the specifics. It's truly one of my favorites.
And, they were right, the details have started to blur, only leaving me with the overall story and how it's affected me. Which, as deeply saddening as it is, is a really beautiful thing.
I'll always recommend it to people, though, even knowing it'll never be the same for them as it was for me
raz have you thought about playing fear and hunger or it's sequel, termina? It's the world's most horrifying game, so definitely check the content warnings, but otherwise I would highly reccomend it, maybe the best horror games I've ever played.
It is on my list to play-just haven’t gotten the courage to play it yet lol
@@razbutwo Yeah I don't blame you lol. First time I've been genuinely terrified by any horror media since I was a kid.
I spent a LOT of time playing Tears of the Kingdom and Monster Hunter Rise/World/3u last year. Also played Gris. Gris might be my favorite of the bunch. This is the year of JRPGS for me. But looking at this list adds a lot of stuff to my list!
Hey Raz, just curious how you store/organise your footage. Do you record full playthroughs of each of these games and still keep them? Or do you start to delete footage once you've finished the related video? Or do you only record a couple hours of each game? Do you have notes on specific moments as you play and just make certain to keep those parts? I've been recording my gaming sessions and am just lookikg for some advice. Thanks :)
I record full playthroughs of everything I play and keep them all on a NAS. I do not have a system for taking notes, which does lead to a fair amount of searching for stuff, but the hard thing is you don't always know what kind of clip you need so I'd spend a lot of time taking notes on things I think might be important. I have convinced myself that doing that for every game I played would take longer than just searching for stuff. Dunno if that is reality, but it is what I am going with. In general, I do have a pretty decent memory of when certain things happened in a game's playthrough, so it generally doesn't take too long.
@@razbutwo Thank you!
The way you describe Rain World makes me think of the new HBO series Scavengers Reign, in which the main characters are constantly evaluating how the alien world around them works and how they, the actual aliens here, fit into the ecosystems they encounter.
Kena mentioned! :)
Hi, I really enjoyed your video and I will watch more of yours. I have a really hard time for a while now and I can't get myself to play games in one piece for years now. Normally, I just play for about an hour until reality and the problems are present again. Especially the anxiety of having so little time is ruining everything for me. I just start a game, play for a bit and move on to other games, because I can't stick to one, even if I want to. My biggest goal was always to beat a FromSoftware Souls game. I tried so many times, but I can't even get to the first boss.
Is there any Souls game that you can recommend?
Jesus!!! You know you're a full time gamer when the palette cleanser for "Rain World" is "Getting Over It"!
Lies of P was MY game of the year 😢
I platinum nobody saves the world. I LOVED it!! I don't know why it was that good
Have u tried Demon Turf and Justice Sucks? Both are true hidden gems in my opinion 👌
soooooooo whats your update on bg3 so far? :)
I don’t who the hell you are but your video was suggested for me so I’m gonna watch it and tell you what I think.
Did you play Alan Wake 2 ? I think you should try it. Loved the video very useful!
1:08:34 giving all of the engagement
I really wish I had had a similar experience to you with Tears of the Kingdom. I plan to jump back into it but I got up to around 80 hours of playtime back in May/June and found myself really getting sick of the game. I was someone who loved Breath of the Wild when it released and so Tears of the Kingdom was maybe my most anticipated game ever, so I was so dissapointed to find the game just really wasnt clicking with me. Whereas exploring hyrule in breath of the wild felt like making my own adventure, tears of the kingdom feels to be like a checklist of repetitive, boring objectives in a world I've already explored. Mechanically its really cool and I expecially love the ascend ability, and the depths are surprisingly satisfying to explore despite also seeming fairly empty and pointless. But exploring the overworld and sky of hyrule really gave me none of the feeling of discovery and mystery I got from playing breath of the wild. I plan on trying it again soon and I hope my feelings change after finishing the game, but so far I feel like the 80 hours I've played have left very little impression on me, and I don't have any memories of the game really wowing me in the same way Breath of the Wild and later Elden Ring did. Anyway good video and thanks if you read this, wish you all the best.
catch his main channel videos, you ended up being right
For me i finish almost 65 games in 2023 and just buy everhood and starting playing it right now it is great game by the way
Wife: *due date is in March *
Raz: 👀
also Raz: *Plays 5626171818 Games in February *
LOL so to be clear on the timeline here, my wife was due in March of 2022 and Elden Ring came out in February of 2022, so the billion games I played in the February section here was a year after she gave birth. With that said, in February of 2022 I did play Pokémon Legends Arceus, Sifu, The Stanley Parable, Nier: Automata and Elden Ring, so...
2023, what a year, sad to see it go.
How do you store this amount of gameplay? I’m looking for a better way to archive my footage.
For a while I was storing it all on external hard drives with a google drive business account as a back up. Google recently changed their storage limits though (used to be unlimited for $20 a month, but now it is 5TB for that price which I am well beyond, and anything over that amount gets wildly expensive quickly. Most recently I got a NAS which has been the perfect solution for me.
@@razbutwo I am currently using a 4TB external hard drive and I have to constantly choose what footage to part with when I start recording a new game. I will definitely check out NAS! Thanks a lot, and great work on the video as always, cheers!
have you considerd playing a game from project moon?
So, what happened to the stream clips that were on this channel? They seem to be gone. :/
Great to listen to while hanging out with my 6 month old in the morning
The Looker may be a B tier game, but the ending was S tier. On another note, I understand the reason for a chronological video, but I wish it was ranked instead. Maybe a separate video?
Ive been in the same situation when playing Eldenring, knowing i have a set amount of time to play because i will become a Dad, so every moment of the game felt much more precious
man I hope you replay resident evil 4 the original, even if you don't make a video about remakes or whatever. its really quite different in a way thats not necessarily better or worse but for sure makes the remake feel like a different game entirely
All I’ve gotta say is Tears of the Kingdom is one of the few games out there that can compete with the likes of Rdr2, Elden ring, Baldurs gate 3, etc
I'm curious to know if you ever played Mass Effect its my favorite franchise ever and would strongly recommend it to everyone! The remake trilogy is absolutely amazing to play through!
Yeah! I played the whole trilogy in 2015 (iirc?). Definitely enjoyed it! I especially liked Mass Effect 2.
Raz please check out Marvel Midnight suns! It’s a realt underrated turn based deckbuilding game
21:47 bro the combat is literally just subway surfers
I really enjoyed Remnant 2, me and my brother tried getting through the first one but we gave up, it jsut wasn't a good game.
I wasn't that bothered about Wo Long, it just didn't feel fun to play for me
Yes
I feel like the discussion of Sable and Tchia are damn near reversible...
No Super Mario Bros Wonder or Gravity Circuit!?!?
What’s the very first game in the intro? Is that even a game? Looks good
Hifi rush
1:04:30 Metalic Fruit hhhhhhh, someone took pine username lol
I love ac 2 so I will be slighly bias but I do think viewing the game in a negative light due to the aftermath of how the wider industry ran with it's design isn't particularly far to ac 2. That's Like the Bioshock example of hating the first or second game because it led to infinite. It's the same issue I run into with AC fans who hate Origins because it started the trend towards Valhalla. Which my view is Origins was neccessary to reinvent the franchise and did a good job of doing so. Over time Valhalla learnt the wrong lessons and became less ac in both mechanics and story to become as much of an open world rpg as possible.
Jesus man, I struggled to play 2 and a half games last year. I got hi fi rush and played through it about 3-4 times. Then I got Quake 2 remastered and switched between that and ultrakill until the year was over. This year Isn't much different, OG quake with Arcane dimensions mod for the 5th time and trying to P rank Ultrakill.
I remember Bioshock was the first game I got with my 360 and remember being amazed how "open" it felt with the lived in level design and my approach to combat encounters with the plasmids and tonic because of that I replayed the game constantly and just never got bored because my memory of the layout improved and you just enter this godlike flowstate. Bioshock 2 even more so, but with more gruesome combat
I played infinite once, tried to play it again. Got bored.
oooooh yesssss
Rain world mentioned
Tbh I really hated being forced to use return to sender just to survive. The vigors were also so washed down + made more expensive eve-wise that they just weren't even that useful.
Bucking bronco, Murder of Crows and Shock Jockey(electro bolt) all feel like the same vigor as they do basically the same thing. Possession is too expensive eve-wise to be useful anywhere and the melee-vigor Charge leaves you really vulnerable after using it. The rest were...fine.
Bioshock 1 and 2 are amazing, though I enjoyed 2 a tad more due to 2 having dual-wielding, better gene tonic options AND NO STUPID MEATSHIELDS(yes, the last quarter of bs1 was hella annoying).
You're not alone lad. KRZ was the same for me. Just could not get into it
I have to Desagree and agree with your opinion on Sea of Stars, First, yes the game is fun as fuck and it could have the best turne based combat out there if it had status effects (like poisoned), Second yes the Sotry is intriging but is kinda of taken as a joke sometimes and is not really developed, and at last the game is too easy once you start seeing how it works
Are we gonna have this series again ????
Yeah, for now at least! I Imagine that when the second kid is born, I might be a bit more spotty (and also might just not have time to play anything lol), but I plan to keep it going. The delay currently is that one of the games I played is tied to a project someone else is working on, so I have been waiting to see what their plan is before working too much on my video. But yeah! Should have something out soonish.
@@razbutwo ok enjoy your life Raz you can only live once
For 2024 you should play all the old Ben 10 games(not the reboot)
My nick name is Razmataz by my friends and I go by Raz. I can't believe there's another Raz is the world. Hi.
Can you try the megaman battle network series? I think you would like it. Action RPG/pseudo turn base/deck building card game. Story is okay, but gameplay is 🔥
It's hard for me to remember absolutely everything I played last year because it feels like 50% of it was getting sucked into the Armored Core series, and the other 50% was getting sucked into the Monster Hunter series. My favorite game that came out last year was Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon, and my favorite game I played that didn't necessarily come out last year that I played for the first time was Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. My other highlights were Pizza Tower, Hi-Fi Rush, Street Fighter 6, and Super Mario Bros Wonder.
It is a huge disappointment to see another From Software fan that just brushes them off if they aren't making a Souls-like though. You really owe it to yourself to play Armored Core 6, and a lot of the other games in the series if you can.
I think there is a massive difference between brushing something off and not having had the time to play it just yet.
@@razbutwo that's fair. I definitely recommend you try it if you can find the time. It's definitely not as difficult as From's other recent titles (or even as hard as Last Raven, the hardest Armored Core game by a long shot), but it's an unapologetic thrill ride, well worth your time to get all the endings.
this video made me realize that i dont need to play AAA games all the time
If I had a nickel for every time a popular FPS series had a game named ____ infinite that forgot some of what made previous games great, I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
8:10 Huh. It sounds like the sequel actually fixed all of my _gigantic_ issues with the firtst Bioshock.
I played it back in like 2010-2011. So reasonably close to its release.
And I absolutely hated it.
The combat was garbage, the exploration was boring and the story was just mildly interesting.
But looking back, I think the reason I felt that way is because the pacing was ruined for me.
Never used plasmids, because switching to it was really clunky, and I always wanted to save up mana for a big fight that never came.
And I always avoided interacting with turrets or anything else that is hackable, because I hated that minigame.
This meant that I was bored all the way through, and I stopped playing after an hour each and every session.
What this meant is that I was also quite disconnected from the moment-to-moment story, as the game doesn't really have a lot of things actively happening.
Perhaps I should check out Bioshock 2.
I think if you play bioshock games, SPECIALLY 1 and 2 "by turning your brain off" 01:45 like you said you did after bioshock infinite you find a decent game in the first one but the second one you will find one of the worst games, the gunplay is really bad, it just doesn't make you wanna fight, you are a big daddy, a big daddy that can tank several less damage than others... the basic mechanic to make the game be 8 hours long is basically closing doors in your face, hey, we are going to the next zone, SIKE, you have to play a whole level to open the door because the light is out, and when you turn it on you basically replay the level (so they don't have to be original). Well, this next zone is brought to you by ANOTHER DOOR CLOSED, or destroyed, or malfunction, is basically, a direct path to your destination in train stopped by malfunctions and closed doors, your only objective in each level is get pass an obstacle, and obviously i'm not gonna talk about the three little sisters that each level has and in one of the last levels is mandatory to save or harvest. I REALLY love the story on the first and second one, Infinite is ok and the narrative is a lot better, just a few closed doors, but the second one for me is a 4-5 videogame. Bioshock 2 is trying to get to Eleanor and having to do tasks to get over an obstacle. The life is what goes on between one closed door and another closed door I guess...
EVERHOOD MENTIONED
How the hell did you play so many games
doing this is my job
No Alan Wake 2 ?
No In Stars and Time…? 😢
