2021 was a rather interesting year for gaming and the industry. New World was released on PC, blowing up a few graphics cards along the way, GameStop had that strange stock rise for a few minutes, and a few big-name games saw hefty delays as teams adjusted to working from home. On a more positive spin, after the scary rise of live service titles, 2021 also proved that single-player games still reigned supreme as we saw the likes of Psychonauts 2, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart make pushes for Game of the Year.
