The year is nearly over and it's time for my personal game of the year picks again. Finished a record amount of games this year (53, full list of games at the end of the post). COVID-19 pandemic didn't really cause an increase in my gaming, the main contributing factor was Xbox Game Pass for PC which allows me to easily pick up and try out a variety of games. As a "blast from the past" I finally beat a Nintendo 64 game Blast Corps together with husbando, a game I had been stuck in in the 90s. Like usual, I didn't play many games released in the current year so most of my picks are older games. But without further ado, here are the best of the best. 
1st place: Yakuza Kiwami 2 (PC, also available on PS4, Xbox One)
Thrilling and serious crime drama featuring the legendary ex-yakuza Kiryu who finds himself in absurdly hilarious situations at every turn. This is a game you don't want to miss, but playing Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami prior to this is recommended. 
+ Amazing story with various charismatic and memorable characters + Some incredibly funny side quests and entertaining minigames + Gorgeously detailed environments in 4K + Cool soundtrack and superb voice acting + Majima Saga is a nice continuation to events of Yakuza 0 + Well-made PC port with no issues besides occasional amusing ragdolling - Lack of different fighting styles make battles a bit repetitive - No Ansel support 
See my posts about Yakuza Kiwami 2
2nd place: Octopath Traveler (Switch, also available on PC)
Classic JRPG of modern times with quality of life improvements and gorgeous presentation. Each characters' stories, the game's engaging turn-based battle system and mechanics kept me glued to the screen for over 125 hours.
+ Fun and rewarding battle system with a good amount of team customization and strategy with subclasses and skills + Beautiful visuals mixing old-school sprite graphics with modern lighting effects + Splendid soundtrack, dual audio option and great Japanese voice acting  + Likeable characters with their own individual stories and engrossing overarching story that lets you find the connections of the characters  + Quality localization with rich language. I learned many new words and H'aanit's old manner of speaking added a new layer of immersion. + Nice quality of life features like fast travel and seemingly unlimited inventory space - Random encounters (they didn't actually bother me much in this game as the battle system was engaging) - Sudden crazy difficulty spike when encountering the real final boss 
See my posts about Octopath Traveler
3rd place: Portal 2 (PC, also available on PS3, Xbox 360)
Immersive sci-fi first-person puzzle game with fascinating game mechanics and tons of great humor. Portal 2 lives up to the universal praise it has gotten.
+ Interesting premise and great writing + Well designed physics-based puzzles + Difficulty is just right, not too hard and not too easy + Super good voice acting and soundtrack that fits the environments spot on + Great humor right from the starting tutorial + The first-person camera immersed me into the game - Some issues like autosaving at unfortunate moments 
See my posts about Portal 2
Honorable mention: Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U)
Sci-fi action JRPG with a surprising twist in its story and a peculiar setting where the player isn't really the protagonist. Battle system is fun and rewarding once you get a hang of it.
+ Impressive world that made me go "woah!" and "ooohh!" + Cool sci-fi story + Great use of Wii U GamePad + Skells (flying mech suits) make traversing the vast world pleasant + Online multiplayer is still active - Tedious fetch quests (wiki/guide recommended) - Soundtrack isn't consistently good
See my posts about Xenoblade Chronicles X
Honorable mention: Ruiner (PS4 & Switch, also available on PC, Xbox One)
I'm in love with this game. I've played it on 4 platforms already and I'm waiting for my Switch physical copy. Ruiner was in my top 3 games last year so I'll just give it a honorable mention now.
+ Amazing world-building and atmosphere + Great soundtrack + Fast-paced action gameplay that stays fun even after multiple playthroughs - Some glitches in PS4 version, Switch version aiming doesn't feel as accurate as on other platforms
See my posts about Ruiner
Honorable mention: Death Coming (PC, also available on PS4, Switch, mobile)
Kind of like a point and click isometric Hitman game. Humorous game where you need to figure out how to reap as many souls as possible, causing fatal accidents with the environments.
+ Fun assassination gameplay with well-designed, wildly imaginative levels + Charming graphics and presentation + Hilarious ways to kill targets - More levels would have been welcome

Red Dead Redemption 2 Review
FYI: I have played nearly 2 full days worth of the game, completed the mains story and 85% complete. I am not a professional review or writer, I am your average gamer, reviewing for the first time.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstars prequel to the their first highly successful game Red Dead Redemption. This game immerses you into the late 1890s of the wild wild west. However, it is not that wild anymore and people are moving past their more vicious ways and becoming more sophisticated and acceptable but, not for one group of people. The Dutch Van Der Linde gang, a bunch of misfits and outlaws still clinging to the oldways with Dutch their leader preaching and leading them. This game is an extremely enjoyable game, the best I have played in years with great, amazing story and fantastic mechanics that makes you feel like a cowboy. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece of a game and in this review I will talk about it, trying to not spoil much as this game is an experience that I recommend you play on your own first.
Story (Plot) Spoiler free
First of I have to talk about the story as this is the main aspect that people are paying for and I have to say it didn't disappoint. The game has 109 missions, 6 chapters and 2 epilogues and with this tells an enjoyable story from the viewpoint of Arthur Morgan a high ranking member in the Dutch Van Der Linde gang, you are a yes man doing dirty work without questions, but that soon changes. You start the game in a bad way, fleeing the law (the Pinkertons) who want you to hang after a heist gone wrong in Blackwater. You and the gang have nothing and are trailing your way through the snowy mountains to find shelter and warmth. Thus starts the main plot of the game, you are all wanted men, who now have no money and need to get away fast, before the law catches up with you. This is really what you are doing for the main story missions, doing certain morally unacceptable activities to get money to “help the camp” so they can flee. However, in doing so you cause unwanted trouble, deaths and general ruckus. Which lead to members of the gang being killed and captured. Losing control of the situation Dutch (the leader of the gang) starts to become reckless and to be honest pretty insane, coming up with plans that will get them in an even worse state then they already are. Your character Arthur Morgan, realises that they don't belong in this world anymore and that Dutch, this once loved father figure is unravelling and that you need to help the remaining gang members to get out. Before Dutch gets everyone killed. This sums up the plot in a quick way, I don't really want to spoil anything to important as this game is an experience. Obviously there is more to it than what I have described.
Characters
Rockstar really had to work hard to create a character that would be loved as much as John Marston which if you didn't know is the protagonist in the first Red Dead Redemption title. The main character would have to live up to the huge shadow of the previous protagonist and oh boy did he. Arthur Morgan is your typical/ stereotypical western cowboy. He has a gruff voice which never got boring, had great jokes, one liners and can hold his own in a battle. But even better than that he develops as a character and person. This game takes him on a journey from a morally iffy yes man, to a man who sees his existence and the gangs existence as unwanted in this new age. A quote he says sums it up perfectly “we’re thieves in a world that don't want us no more” He knows he is a bad person, but decides to change later in the game the best he can and keep the people who deserve a better life safe to live a better life. He is in a constant battle with morality and is full of regret, but by the end of the game is more enlightened and sees the world a lot clearer.
During this game you meet a lot of other great characters from your gang and on the road, which I can't go through all of them. Old faces appear such as John Marston, his family and even uncle. But the character that had the most impact other than Arthur was Dutch Van der Linde. Dutch the leader of these misfits and outlaws starts off as a decent man who seems to just want to help all the people in the gang get to safety. He seems caring, kind and in control. He is a fearless leader who is good with words, which in some way gets the gang to follow him, he seems to know what he is doing. However, he is such a good character because just like Arthur he changes, when things start going south he slowly loses control, his actions and ideas are being questioned. This kind man is now ruthless and reckless, giving no concern for the safety of his fellow gang members. Loyalties are questioned, ties broken between members and Dutch. If you ever think about leaving...well that won't go down too well with big ole Dutch.
Mechanics
Before the game came out Rockstar were really pushing all these mechanics that are in the game, which all added up to create a realistic world. Which I believe they have done pretty well. Lets start of by talking about character mechanics, the big one is of course beard growth, yes your beard does grow and to a pretty considerable length. Think of Gandalfs beard but a little shorter. You have to feed your character otherwise you will start becoming underweight or on the other hand if you eat too much you get fatter, these mechanics do happen, but seem to not change the game massively if you are on either side of the chart. However, food is a necessary thing to help your health gauge fill up. Other than that we have a stamina bar, health bar and dead eye bar which all increases over time by running, fighting and being shot at. A bit like GTA V.
Now we come to world mechanics, so a big thing Rockstar touched on before the games release was that you can go up to anyone and you can greet them, antagonise them etc which could lead to them getting angry and attacking you etc, depending on how far you take it. Yes this does happen, you don't have to use it, it's just there for if you want to, It's a great mechanic honestly as it makes the world feel alive, like these are real people. Another thing that links to npc mechanics is the random events that happen while riding your horse, you could be going down a road and then someone is being robbed. You can help them or leave them. This mechanic ties into the honour system as well, if you left them your honour will go down if it goes all the way down, people will hate you and if your honour is high people will like you more and less bad things will happen. These two mechanic together makes the game seem like 1. the world is thriving with people and 2. that your actions have consequences, be that good or bad. Another great mechanic is that people remember the actions that you do, an example of this is with a mission at the start of the game, where you get into a bar fight and get thrown out of the window. Next time you go to that bar, the barman will say something along the lines of, I hope you don't start any trouble. Just that little thing again makes it seem like a lived in, real world.
Now for some small mechanics, which there are many that go unnoticed such as, bodies decaying. If you kill someone and leave their body it will decay over time, vultures and other animals will come and eat them etc. Which is just a cool little thing. Another little mechanic is your saddle bag and the way you actually take the guns of the side of your horse, like you would in real life. It's the little things that matter. I have missed out other mechanics but If I wrote about them all I would be here for ages. Some of them are, actually being able to pick items you want buy up in a shop, like seriously you see them in your hand or wearing less or more layers of clothes depending on weather conditions.
Horse Mechanics
Horses, horses, horses. What can I say about the horses. The horses in this game move like an actual horse in real life, yes the males have testicles and yes they grow or shrink depending on weather conditions. It's the little things that count. The horse in this game is your pride and joy, you tame the horse, bond with the horse which unlocks new mechanic for the horse, such as drifting. It's stamina goes up over time and so does its health. You have to feed the horse and brush it to increase bonding and the general health of the animal. However, with any animal and living creature in the world, they can die and in this game it's no different. It can die by being shot, tripping over a rock or tree, or just about anything to be honest. Which is sad but creates some funny clips. You can customise your horse, changing saddles, tail shape, size, if it's braided or not. Same with the mane. Also just to make it even sadder when your horse dies you can name it. RIP Mrsflumpylocks. That was my horse BTW it died by hitting a tree. You change all these aspects of the horse by going into a stable, which reminds me exactly of GTA Vs Auto shop. It even does the same cinematic to get into the stable and or shop. Overall the mechanics for the horse are good and is a great improvement from the first game.
Hunting
Hunting is a mechanic you are introduced to pretty much in the first hour of the game. Rockstar said it will be a big part of the game. Which it is to a certain degree. At the beginning of the game you have to hunt for deers to feed the camp. You use your tracking skills to follow the animal, then once you see it use a bow to kill it. You then skin it and then put the meat on the back of your horse to give to the gangs cook Pearson. With the pelt you have you can go and sell it, if it's a high quality pelt i.e you killed it by a head shot or heart shot, the pelt would sell for more. There are also certain animals called Legendary animals which drop legendary pelts which can be used to craft sweet looking outfits for your character, which gives you another goal in the game. Now hunting is all well and good, but I feel it becomes unnecessary to hunt animals for the camp if you have most of the upgrades and keep the camp stocked, as you don't need to kill anything, the camp will survive without you doing any animal killing. So really at end game the only thing hunting is good for is getting cool outfits. Nevertheless, hunting is still pretty fun.
Graphics/Environment
From random encounter with people on the road to animals frolicking around the plains. Red Dead Redemptions environment is a beautiful but ruthless one. It feels lived in with the encounters that happen good or bad and gives a lot to take in and marvel at. Thats probably why you have a camera in your satchel. The graphics are beautiful, with an amazing and careful eye of detail, from your footsteps actually appearing in the snow or mud to your face actually getting dirty over time. On the performance side of things I was playing on a standard Xbox One and it looked great, I had no frame rate drops of any kind and I can only imagine what the game would look like on a an Xbox One X and a 4k TV.
The Bad
Honestly I have to really nitpick to find anything that I would call “bad”. So here they are. I feel like the law is wanted system is really unfair and biased against me. I could go to a town and someone starts a fight with me, but I get a wanted bounty? It doesn't make sense, also the whole witness system and how every time I kill someone there is always a witness that I can't see. It gets very frustrating. My next gripe is that the picking up of items in shops physically is pretty cool, but I feel is useless as it takes so long to buy anything. I hardly ever use the mechanic, unless i’m trying to get cigarette cards for hours on end. The last “con” is that I feel weapon customisation could be better, when I heard about the customisation of weapons I thought it would be better and I know they are old guns which wouldn't have acog scopes and stuff. But I just felt like I wanted more. Again these are tiny things that don't affect my enjoyment of the game massively
End game content
Once you have finished Red Dead Redemption 2, you have a long list of things to do. Which are as followed. Do the collectable missions, there are many collectable missions in Red Dead from dinosaur bones to cigarette cards, which you will need if you want to get 100% on the game. Hunt all the legendary animals, get some outfits. Go fishing, play poker or even go treasure hunting. There is also many a side quest to do, some very weird and some hilarious, I’m talking about that circus quest there. Lastly explore the world, Red Dead Redemption 2 has the biggest and most beautiful map out of all the Rockstar games, full of easter eggs and hidden items. The end game offers a lot to the players to keep their interest and the best thing aswell is that an online will be coming in November.
Rockstar has crafted a wonderful game, which feels realistic, lively and thriving with activity. Which immerses you so much that you do not want put down the controller and you would rather play than take on real world responsibilities. Other than that the game offers an amazing story that of a film and provides you with memorable characters and will make you question your moral compass. I would recommend anyone this game and I rate this title 9/10. Thank you for reading and I hope this helped you.

5 TV Shows You Can Stream To Help You Learn French
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: consuming media in the language you’re learning is a great supplement to your studies. Whether you’re watching French TV shows or movies, reading Spanish books, or listening to Italian podcasts, immersing yourself in the language you want to speak will help cement it in your brain. And you may even pick up some cultural insights while you’re at it! So sit back, relax and start streaming these French TV shows.
5 French TV Shows To Check Out
1. Call My Agent!
Photo: Netflix
Where To Watch: Netflix Number Of Seasons: 3 (ongoing)
Show Premise: Also known by its French title Dix Pour Cent (“Ten Percent”), Call My Agent! tells the story of four agents working for a talent firm in Paris. Equal parts funny and dramatic, the show takes viewers behind-the-scenes as the agents work to solve crises involving their film star clients.
Learning Tips: English subtitles are available on Netflix, and we recommend you use them, at least at first. They can guide you through the storyline and help you pick up new words and phrases in French. Though it’s fictional, Call My Agent! was created by a television writer, and it can give viewers a glimpse into the real French film industry.
2. Spiral
Photo: Marc Gouby/Canal+
Where To Watch: Hulu Number Of Seasons: 7 (ongoing)
Show Premise: This police procedural and legal drama follows the members of Paris’ criminal justice system, from cops to judges. Hulu describes Spiral, or Engrenages (“Gears”) in French, as “a dark series with constant and increasing tension.”
Learning Tips: Spiral is in French with English subtitles. Again, we’d recommend leaving the subtitles on in the beginning and then turning them off when you feel more comfortable with the language. See how much of the plot you can still follow!
3. Black Spot
Photo: Facebook – Black Spot/Zone Blanche
Where To Watch: Amazon Prime Number Of Seasons: 2 (ongoing)
Show Premise: Black Spot, which is titled Zone Blanche (“White Zone”) in French, is set in a small, isolated town surrounded by forest. It’s also a town where the murder rate happens to be six times the national average. The creepy thriller features the town’s sheriff Major Laurène Weiss and a prosecutor from out of town investigating the murder of a woman found hanging from a tree.
Learning Tips: Black Spot is also in French with English subtitles. This storyline is a little more complicated, so following along with the subtitles is advised. Because it’s video on demand, you can always pause and rewind if you miss something or need to watch a scene again.
4. Marseille
Photo: Netflix
Where To Watch: Netflix Number Of Seasons: 2
Show Premise: The first French-language Netflix Original Series, Marseille stars the famous French actor Gérard Depardieu as the long-time mayor of the seaside city Marseille. It’s a political drama complete with backstabbing deputies and assassinations. Netflix canceled the series after its second season.
Learning Tips: Netflix has updated their settings, so the default is for the show to be in its original French with English subtitles. We highly recommend leaving it as is, rather than switching to the English-dubbed version. You obviously won’t improve your French skills if you watch the English dubs! While the show isn’t based on a true story, you can still learn a lot about French culture and see the beautiful scenery of Marseille while you watch.
5. The Long, Long Holiday
Photo: Netflix
Where To Watch: Vimeo (French) / Amazon Prime (English) Number Of Seasons: 1
Show Premise: This animated miniseries is not just for kids. The Long, Long Holiday (Les Grandes Grandes Vacances) tells the story of two young children living in Normandy during the German occupation of France in World War II. The kids go to visit their grandparents but end up staying longer than expected when their father goes off to fight and their sick mother is sent to a medical facility. The show is described as “smart” and “poignant.”
Learning Tips: Because this is an animated series, supposedly suitable for kids ages 10 and up, the language is somewhat simpler and may make this show the best choice for total beginners. That being said, The Long, Long Holiday with the original French audio is only available on Vimeo without subtitles, so you’ll need to have a decent understanding of the language to follow along. The English version is on Amazon Prime — it might be helpful to watch it in English first so you know the basic storyline before watching in French.

So, range, adjustment and variety, these are actually the words that go to the heart of inside vegetation success. This's merely certainly not that purposeful to earn an additional container from coffee, to wipe another dining table, that can help an additional consumer yield another item.

That is actually a standard subject and also large numbers from men are actually possessing the trouble from sexual weakness. Relevant use appears to be about recording that the doctor is actually doing every thing essential to make certain the patient is being actually addressed overall individual as well as not merely for his/her presenting complaint.

It is actually pointless to say at the starting point, I must certainly not create much more than 300 words on this subject", considering that FIVE HUNDRED phrases might be actually the minimal required. Another instance will remain in memorizing the verses of the tunes or in don't forgeting tales that you could have checked out previously. Whatever sort of work you do-whether you're freelance, working with other people, or something in between-if autonomy, complexity, and a link between attempt and perks exist, this's my opinion you possess a better odds from making your job meaningful. Yet he never revealed that. I recognize some of you were actually offered art works by him as presents. Therefore, modification, range and also assortment, these are words that are at the heart from inside vegetation results. It's simply certainly not that meaningful to earn one more pot from coffee, to clean off yet another table, in order to help another client profit yet another item. Yesterday, for example, I did certainly not start this write-up that you read now (called Inspirational Life Quotes in order to help You Reside Your Lifestyle NOW!). This allows a more flowing poem and also can be utilized to combine a soft emotion along with its own phrases.

Equal parts funny and dramatic, the show takes viewers behind-the-scenes as the agents work to solve crises involving their film star clients.
Learning Tips: English subtitles are available on Netflix, and we recommend you use them, at least at first. They can guide you through the storyline and help you pick up new words and phrases in French. Though it’s fictional, Call My Agent! was created by a television writer, and it can give viewers a glimpse into the real French film industry.

Where To Watch: Hulu Number Of Seasons: 7 (ongoing)
Show Premise: This police procedural and legal drama follows the members of Paris’ criminal justice system, from cops to judges. Hulu describes Spiral, or Engrenages (“Gears”) in French, as “a dark series with constant and increasing tension.”
Learning Tips: Spiral is in French with English subtitles. Again, we’d recommend leaving the subtitles on in the beginning and then turning them off when you feel more comfortable with the language. See how much of the plot you can still follow!
3. Black Spot

Where To Watch: Amazon Prime Number Of Seasons: 2 (ongoing)
Show Premise: Black Spot, which is titled Zone Blanche (“White Zone”) in French, is set in a small, isolated town surrounded by forest. It’s also a town where the murder rate happens to be six times the national average. The creepy thriller features the town’s sheriff Major Laurène Weiss and a prosecutor from out of town investigating the murder of a woman found hanging from a tree.
Learning Tips: Black Spot is also in French with English subtitles. This storyline is a little more complicated, so following along with the subtitles is advised. Because it’s video on demand, you can always pause and rewind if you miss something or need to watch a scene again.
4. Marseille

Where To Watch: Netflix Number Of Seasons: 2
Show Premise: The first French-language Netflix Original Series, Marseille stars the famous French actor Gérard Depardieu as the long-time mayor of the seaside city Marseille. It’s a political drama complete with backstabbing deputies and assassinations. Netflix canceled the series after its second season.
Learning Tips: Netflix has updated their settings, so the default is for the show to be in its original French with English subtitles. We highly recommend leaving it as is, rather than switching to the English-dubbed version. You obviously won’t improve your French skills if you watch the English dubs! While the show isn’t based on a true story, you can still learn a lot about French culture and see the beautiful scenery of Marseille while you watch.
5. The Long, Long Holiday

Where To Watch: Vimeo (French) / Amazon Prime (English) Number Of Seasons: 1
Show Premise: This animated miniseries is not just for kids. The Long, Long Holiday (Les Grandes Grandes Vacances) tells the story of two young children living in Normandy during the German occupation of France in World War II. The kids go to visit their grandparents but end up staying longer than expected when their father goes off to fight and their sick mother is sent to a medical facility. The show is described as “smart” and “poignant.”
Learning Tips: Because this is an animated series, supposedly suitable for kids ages 10 and up, the language is somewhat simpler and may make this show the best choice for total beginners. That being said, The Long, Long Holiday with the original French audio is only available on Vimeo without subtitles, so you’ll need to have a decent understanding of the language to follow along. The English version is on Amazon Prime — it might be helpful to watch it in English first so you know the basic storyline before watching in French.
