There's really no point in doing the games in order, I would actually strongly recommend doing 4 first since it's objectively the worst modern persona combat wise so if you play it after 3 or 5 it's a bit of a let down. You can play 3 or 5 whenever you want after that. There's really nothing missed if you do them out of order except a few references to the character's in other games which aren't even common.

An entire new dungeon, more bosses like the 3 wise men, 3 new endings in addition to the original 3 also being in the game.

It was just OK. The "open world" structure got too boring and repetitive from constantly retreading the same areas. The story starts strong, but by the end it doesn't really make any sense. The combat is good, but it's pretty weak for Platinum, given the lack of proper combos, and the fact that you can cancel from a dodge into another dodge, which makes it far too easy. The shmup sections are fun, but they're peppered in too often late-game, breaking up the flow, especially the "hacking" variant.
I loved the credits sequence, though. It was a good way to go out.

I reallly can't sell it if you don't already like what you see, It really is just a Metroid clone on a movie tie in budget. There isn't much in this game that you won't fine in another Metroid clone, I'v just been personally enjoying it because everything is solidly made.

I'm finding it a little hard to put a TON of hours into it but it's still a very, very good game, if only for the combat itself. The campaign is the sort of thing you're supposed to play over and over again, but there's also a lot of different arena spawnsets so you can practice combos without having to bother with the main campaign.
>the idea of a 2D DMC/stylish action game always seemed interesting to me

Nioh only plays like Dark Souls if you don't take advantage of any of its unique mechanics like ki pulsing, stance switching (as well as combining the two) and depriving enemies of their ki/stamina, among other things. The influence is clearly there and there are some vague similarities like pacing backwards to bait enemies into attacking or the perspective of the camera when you lock on, but it's more than different enough to be considered its own thing rather than a knock off.

It does some fundamental things like exploration, C&C and the progression curve really fucking well. Quests have fitting endings if you're not paying attention and are being retarded. The kind of endings that should have been incredibly obvious in hindsight, yet no other game seems to do because they don't want to make the player feel screwed over. The problem lies more with everything else from nonsensical dialogue, enemy placement being generally all over the place, and some minor shit even the previous Gothic games had yet is lacking here. Despite what people may tell you, the combat is functional to a large degree once you get to know it, the game just does a bad job at explaining to you how it works.
It's really the kind of game you need to love for certain aspects despite everything else, yet manages to be still worth a shot because of that. If you like these kind of Eurojank games then you're more likely to like ELEX, though there's no guarantee at all given how different it is from most RPGs on the market in terms of structure and pacing.

My Games of the Year so far:
> Gravity Rush 2
It's everything the first Gravity Rush was + even more and then some; had such a great time with it. I'm sad they're shutting down the online services in January.
> Nier Automata
Pretty cool story that made me cry like a little bitch multiple times throughout.
I broke during the Ending E credits, all the messages of supports from other players with WEIGHT OF THE WORLD blasting. God damn. I let it delete my save.
Just thinking about it is making my eyes a bit watery.
Honorable mentions to the following; really loved the shit out of these too:
> A Hat in Time
Everything that Yooka-Laylee should've been. It's cute, has tons of charm, it's pure fun. It's a bit short, but workshop mods/levels make that a bit better.
The soundtrack is pretty nice too. "Your Contract Has Expired" is the best track imo.
> Persona 5
A great JRPG with a translation/localization that was actually so good/faithful it made libtard goonies in California throw a fit. Loved it. Loved the game, enjoyed the story a ton.
> Toukiden 2
Finally, a good Toukiden game. It has a pretty neat gameplay mechanic (Demon Claw) and a nice story with likeable characters.
Just a damn shame KT's jewiness got in the way when it came to DLC missions, also not a very difficult game compared to the likes of Monster Hunter.
> Cuphead
Tight controls, beautiful visual style and animations, tough, and a kick-ass jazzy/big-band soundtrack to boot. I didn't much care for the Run N' Gun levels.
> Senran Kagura Peach Beach Splash
A guilty pleasure that probably shouldn't belong on anything resembling a GOTY list, but this was the most fun I've had with a third person shooter since Binary Domain.
Pretty fun to play, building your loadout and seeing the weapons change as you level them up was great. Plus, despite the story being much more light-hearted, still ends on an interesting note that will take us right into Senran Kagura 7. The post-credits teaser for SK7 gives me the impression it'll be a pretty dark game too, compared to all the previous ones.
I've still gotta play Mario Odyssey, RUINER, Hollow Knight, Fight N' Rage, Speebot, BattleChasers Nightwar and Doki Doki Literature Club before the end of December. Somehow I doubt I'll make it through all those in two months, never mind what I'm playing now.
Nothing else coming out this year looks that great.

Shadow of War I just downloaded last night and installed today. Played maybe 1 hour of it and it's pretty average combat-wise. The first thing that happens is your elf ghost gets captured and you have to find him but you can still turn into him and use his powers which just seemed lazy but whatever.
Shadow of war takes the 2017 GOTY by default.

Apparently the only new games I played were the remake of Fire Emblem 2, and Doki Doki Literature Club. The former was okay, but it lacks the usual FE replayability you can get from replaying with different units. This is because the limit on units you can bring to a fight, at least before the postgame, is "all of them". DDLC was okay for a VN until it got into the meta stuff. That didn't do it for me. I was pretty excited about it from when Sayori started dropping hints about being suicidal until the game forced me into a fresh run after her suicide. It was at its best for the short time I thought it was going the "psychological horror" route.

Did you have NOTHING else to play it on? There's plenty of ps2 exclusives worth playing, but you're playing the worst version of a multiplat.
