What a roller coaster of a year its been then. We can’t say its exactly gone to plan now has it? With delayed releases, console shortages and a few underwhelming performances, we’ve got to admit its been a bit of a wild one.

However, that certainly doesn’t mean 2021 hasn’t treated us to some absolute gems too! Despite its unpredictability, this year has once again shown that the gaming industry hasn’t been slacking since the pandemic started almost two years ago. Game developers have still given their upmost to ensure that we have the best products they have to offer, and we must be thankful for that.

As a result, we thought it best to compile an article expressing our gratitude. Here’s a list of the top ten games of 2021, just in time for Christmas!What is cloud gaming? Google Stadia and Microsoft xCloud explained - The Verge

10. Metroid Dread

Platform- Nintendo Switch

Genre- Action/Adventure, Shooter

It’s been a long time since this ones been in production, therefore making its payoff all that more satisfying. It’s undoubtedly a fitting finale to a saga which started with the original NES game, making it an honour for me to celebrate it in this way. What starts as a standard investigation on planet ZDR for Samus morphs into a galaxy-threatening mission where she uncovers the origins of the lifeforms linked to her past- the Metroids, the Chozo and the X parasite. Full of intense set pieces and thrilling game play, this one cannot be missed by fans of the series. Metroid Dread' is a dark rebirth for Samus Aran | Engadget

What a return for Turtle Rock Studios! Their homecoming to the co-op genre has been an exceptional success! By keeping the atmosphere of the “Left 4 Dead” franchise, they’ve managed to stay true to their roots whilst simultaneously updating a variety of game play mechanics. Also, they’ve added a cool new card system which increases replay-ability as players can customise their own heroes. Overall, we highly urge anyone looking for a great survival horror thriller to pick this title up right away!Back 4 Blood to Add Offline Solo Campaign Mode In December

8. Ratchet And Clank: A Rift Apart

Platform- PlayStation 5

Genre- Platformer, Action/Adventure

A Rift Apart gives us everything we’ve come to expect from a Ratchet And Clank feature; wacky characters, compelling worlds and an exciting array of story missions. On the other hand, introductions to new mechanics and characters allows every game to still maintain that spellbinding awe of wonder which allows every adventure to feel unique. Insomniac know exactly what to do with the franchise now, so long may it continue!Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart review | TechRadar

We’ve been waiting for what feels like eternity for this one to be released. Finally, Double Fine have granted us a sequel to their 2006 cult classic! Thankfully, its been worth the wait, as it undoubtedly lives up to its predecessors name. Maintaining the atmosphere of the original was no easy feat, and managing to improve upon the game play flaws creates a much more fulfilling experience.

Deathloop is arguably one of the most brilliantly designed games of the last ten years. Arkane Studios have absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one. From the beautifully crafted world to the time space influences, it’s a joyous experience from beginning to end! It’s non-linear storytelling helps create elements of unpredictability rarely seen in video games today.
