Rich Meister's Top 10 Games of 2021

What a year. 2021 has been arguably the best year and a string of horrible years. Sure, we’ve still got that whole pandemic thing, and our country’s moral and financial integrity is crumbling from the inside out, but VIDEO GAMES! Also, that Spider-man movie was really good.

Despite the horrible odds, I’ve made it through another calendar year as Sword Chomp’s EIC, and I played a lot of really cool games. Tons of people said there weren’t many good games this year; those people are dumb as shit. Here are the ten games I thought kicked the most ass in 2021.

Resident Evil and I have quite the history. Though it’s a series I was late to the party on, with four being my introduction to the series, it grabbed me enough to revisit those old games during the heyday of the PlayStation 2. I spent hours traversing Raccoon City and was fully caught up and waiting for RE5. this fifth installment was ultimately a disappointment for me, and RE6 felt like an even more significant and stranger misstep.
