"Maybe in 2021 I'll make a game about destruction" :O are we finally going to get another destruction darius

"Maybe for 2021 I'll focus more on making my own games. Perhaps one with destruction, against the clock challenges, and pretty voxelated graphics." Sounds like a job for Destruction Darius 3

Philip: subnautica is a very relaxing dreamlike game me: jesus christ this is the most terrifying virtual experience I've ever had. Monsters in the abyss and I can't defend myself from their terror

Plot twist - he actually is the creator of Teardown

something that really crushed me earlier this year was losing my save progress on red dead 2. I fucked up all my local steam saves when I switched to an SSD, and my old 40+ hour save was gone with that. I was really loving the game, super excited to reach it's end after the long long journey it had been. imagining playing through the game for forty more hours is so painful. I love the game, but it really is just way too much of a commitment, even if i skip the cutscenes.

I’m drunk rn and I love clicksphilip

He seemed so annoyed when he was talking about cyberpunk 2077

The thought of you talking to your mom about games is comfy :3

I come back to this video a lot, because I love how you're able to express your opinion on these games so well with just 24 minutes! I was hoping you'd do one for 2021, but it's already April now, so it doesn't seem like it would happen, would it?

Philip, you will love Outer Wilds. Just play it

his voice tone makes me agree with whatever he is saying regardless of my opinion

My prediction for the game of the year 2021 award: Destruction Darius 2

"cried when a fish died in a game earlier this year" let me guess. Detroit become human Episode 1?

Glad you loved XCOM 2 so much! Enemy Unknown was the first turn-based strategy game I can recall actually enjoying, and I loved how it constantly kicked my ass, but inspired me to come back and do better each time. Truly a great franchise that I'm glad came back from the dead.

2:24 oh yes YES YES YES YES. Seriously though you have got me into fusion 2.5, and I can't thank you enough I love making games so much. I've been waiting for destruction Darius 2 devlogs for a while now so I can't wait for more videos. Keep it up dude!

I really appreciate this style of video, which rather than most award ceremonies that try to fit a selection of games into a specific award description, you decide to simply talk about whatever games had most of an impression on you, and award it with whatever respective quality made it stand out the most. After all, award ceremonies or annual look-backs are just an excuse to talk about whatever was most exceptional in recent memory, but there's always some stuff that gets left out or glossed over. This is a smart format for efficiently showcasing what makes these games memorable. Nice work Philip.

Every retrospective in this style by other content creators starts by them saying "Hey guys this was a hard year for all of us" but my man here seems so happy about being able to game everyday that I just can't

Never knew you enjoyed Xcom so much! That’s awesome to hear, it’s my favorite game series

You hit the nail on the head with your describtion of Cyberpunk 2077.

A 25 minute 2kliksphilip video. Now that’s one hell of way to kick off the year

Love that boneworks gallery music at the start

I completed Control , Deus Ex Mankind Divided , Gta 4 , Mafia 1 and 2 and Teardown . I really enjoyed playing these games .

Excellent list. Happy New Year Philip.

Thank you for this amazing video!

i think a significant part about why Cyberpunk gets such strong response despite flaws, is because when you have all the bells and whistles on, it's the most visually impressive Video Game, ever. and Graphics has always outsold everything else, since the dawn of Video Games. we all know that. i think it's a pretty cool game, but sure, it's not as great as people make it out to be.

14:15 :o 3kliksphilip and 2kilksphilip playing at the same time! I knew they were different people

Another great vid! Loved watching your vids throughout the year! Look forward to seeing what you do next.

I love you philip.... so much

I've had a *ton* of fun with Cyberpunk so far. It's quite buggy, but not in a way that really bothers me. I really enjoy the story and side jobs, the first person dialogue scenes are immersive as hell, the combat gets great as you progress in skill trees and get cybeware, and the world and it's lore, vibe and variety is amazing. It's currently the kind of game I really get lost in when I play it. I don't really feel any need to defend it against criticism, because I know the game is flawed and that people's expectations weren't met. I guess I am fortunate that the game seems tailored for me.

I would appreciate gamedev stuff in 2021. I still rewatch your old gamedev videos sometimes

Loved this man. Keep it up.

You know, half the video I was thinking why I like your videos so much but when you talked about cyberpunkt and it finally dawned. Your taste in games is so similar to mine and you manage to condense what I can only feel into words. I hope you will put out content for a long time to come. Take care

I started xcom 2 this year and took your dirt rally philosophy into it after wanting to reset over and over and over to get a "perfect start" that never came. so much more fun came out of it when i started to live with my mistakes and power on.

6:50 CS:GO is actually considered a point-and-click adventure

ur game dev vids are awesome please do more of those omg

To be honest Cyberpunk is the only game where I didn't skip all the dialogs but instead heard all of them. It is just so fascinating and because of this for me it takes the cake.

That Arma track truly fits everything

The Assassin's Creed Origins music in Odyssey's place really hit me.

One of the best KZfaqrs out there philip, looking forward to seeing your 2021 videos across all the channels

Phillip I just want to comment to tell you that I love the videos you make on this channel, especially in the last year about the greater valve sphere. Definitely one of my favorite channels. Have a great 2021

I think you'd love Outer Wilds!

_"shed a tear when a fish died in a game earlier this year"_ Sad Subnautica reference :`(

I wasn't planning on playing Death Stranding, but after hearing your praise about it, I think I will have to.

awesome vid, have a safe 2021!

I’m so glad you also enjoy Odyssey as a guilty pleasure too! That’s exactly how I describe it. It’s my favorite “Skinner Box” game lol. I just got back into gaming this year after a nearly decade long hiatus so I’m often overly impressed with a lot of games, and I assumed that Odyssey may not be as fun if I’d played any of the other AC games from the last few years. Nonetheless, there’s something so pleasant about that gameplay loop. It’s a gorgeous looking game with fun stealth and combat mechanics, the story isn’t the best but it’s definitely easy enough to get invested into, and the limitless missions, areas, items, characters, etc. to find and conquer is really addicting. Like I said, a Skinner Box. The Radiant AI stuff is my main gripe with it but you can just avoid those auto-generated missions if you want. I’d love to see that sort of thing eliminated completely from these sorts of games and just refine the hand crafted missions they’re already working on instead of providing all this filler fetch quest stuff that just gets in the way of an already massive game. Anyways, glad you feel the same as I do! Lot of people hate the new AC games because they’ve “left their roots” - but I’m fine with it lol. The formula needed to be updated anyways.

To comment on you cyberpunk bit; from everyone ive asked, thats played the game, they've had a variety of different bugs some barely getting any but some minor visual stuff, occassional tposing (tends to be quite funny but less immersive), to downright gamebreaking bugs where i had to verify my game files and reload a previous save (i had 2 of these moments throughout my playthrough one being crashing which turned out to be a massive missing file i had, another being a suitcase locking me in a hotel room where nobody else had this glitch, you can guess what mission this was). It's weird because it feels each bug is different for everyone which in my mind doesnt make sense. I enjoyed my 45 hours of the game and will play it through again once they've released some more content for it. I think the cult mentality is more around CDPJR rather than the cyberpunk game itself, I was hyped by the game but saw fatal flaws such as the PS4/Xbox drama etc. I appreciate the game for what it is and its been fun to play it, I enjoyed each different playstyle that it and looked at it as more of a "rogue like" game. I know you can get this with *any* game but i feel the expectation for cp77 is to play it however you like; RPG? there's aspects for it but feels a bit unfinished in my opinion. Build a cool class? yeah sure i built my character as a hacker, engineer, katana-wielding, supressed revolver, playing stealthy most of the game. I understand where you are coming from that there feels like some aspects are underdeveloped in terms of depth therefore don't allow you to fully gain interest in it. I do believe that stealth should be reworked a little as it can be very OP. Yes IK i only spent 45 hours in it but it gave me enough for a impression and review, i will fully 100% the game when i replay. For now i want to finish witcher and more No mans sky, thanks (if you read this)

Honestly the best and most honest review I've seen this [last] year! Keep on your interesting videos!

Nice to see Odyssey on this list, I discovered it going into lockdown and I don’t know how I’d have survived lockdown without it!

3rd playthrough in CP77, 100+ hours in and I still love the feeling of this game. I can understand why others dislike it, though.

I love your caveman naked VR cams so damn much

you made good videos this year thank for da memz

Brilliant round up.

I agree completely about everything you've said about Cyberpunk in all your latest videos.

YO DESTRUCTION DARIUS 2 LETS GO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Your Death Stranding video is your best work of 2020.

Happy new year man I hope you have a good one

“Coming” on the fields below huh? Never change Philip!

I just finished Cyberpunk 2077 and I absolutely loved it, for its story, world building and environments. I thought combat and stealth was fun enough, and I really liked the variation of the missions. It really felt like I lived in that world, and I loved that.

OMG you opened with my favorite song from the Boneworks soundtrack (Analog Sunrise), I love you

very good video ! thank you philip

I mean sure death stranding looks cool and all but... The “princess beach” pun

Thank you for being a KZfaqr that doesn't spam most of your videos with sponsorships and other pushy nonsense for the algo like shouting and stalling. I know you are doing this deliberately, and so it makes me feel appreciated as a viewer.

i revisited subnautica in 2020 too, it’s so great to see someone else who came back to it too and enjoyed it as much as i did

Thanks for the great video and for putting my thoughts on Cyberpunk into such beautiful words. I’m glad you spent a bit of extra time explaining your position in context of the weird hype. Looking forward to your next corona video on 1kliks!

15:41 and after I can't run it at any decent settings or at all. The price of the computers to run these is too much for the lower end of the market.

Holy shit you're right, I totally forgot about playing HLA.

I loved watchdogs. Good roundup, cheers!

Happy New Year Philip! ❤️❤️❤️🥳🎉🎊 Your videos helped me through 2020, and for that I thanks you! See you in 2021 on all 3 channels ❤️🤓

Mr Kliksphilip, 2020 was a long year for all of us but your well thought out videos and truly immersing commentary has hit the spot for me and many of us in tough times, thanks for a great year of videos this year

22:58 Oh no, those poor fields....

Thank you for once another year filled with high-quality jokes, reviews and overall good entertainment 2kliksphilip!

Finally someone said it about cyberpunk, thank you, and great vid

Please play Outer Wilds. I just know you will love it.

For me it's been my usuals; Team Fortress 2 (hard to get into/learn but literally does everything from every shooter all at once and awesomely), Smash Bros, Breath of the Wild (AC Odyssey but Nintendo'd, and truly honed in on exploration) and BeamNGdrive (please try it, it seems just up your alley! It's like how rtx/realistic shaders brings a bunch of little but new possibilities and gameplay features to minecraft, or how the physics in teardown MAKE teardown, but for Dirt Rally/Driving in GTA - a police chase in Beam or rally course is unreal-ly, terrifyingly awesome! The devs pump out massive updates and improvements every five seconds too!) My catch up/revisits have been Black Mesa (an awesome remake while still having it's own unique style/feel), Mario 64 and Sunshine (a lot jankier than I remembered) and GTA Online again since it snowed (still a complete mess but a guilty pleasure). My "new" titles despite playing it before has been Insurgency Sandstorm (instant soiled pants, it's great), as well as Mario Odyssey (pretty much 3D Mario perfected.) On my shopping list is indeed HL Alyx and Boneworks, the remake of The World Ends With You, Subnautica, Hades, etc. There's a whole lot more, I don't really play new games, I'm too busy playing these! Happy new year!

Happy new year clip filip

Hi kliks! Excellent video! You forgot about operation flashpoint though!

Philip might genuinely be one of my favorite game reviewers. He has an interesting perspective on most games

pistols in cyberpunk underpowevered ? srsly ? : D

Commenting for the algorithm. This video deserves many more views!

Can't wait to see 3kliksphilips take on this

feel like the thing with cyberpunk currently is where on the internet you discuss the game. Certain places on the internet are full of people praising the game and defending it but other places are full of people trashing it and saying it’s the worst thing ever. Majority of the places on the internet seem to disagree with people that are on both sides.

Imagine freeing up a terabyte of data at once

Thanks to your recommendation on Kingdom Come Deliverance, I've now been streaming the game on Twitch. I started a channel at the same time too, and boy its a great game to stream. If it wasn't for a few dedicated fans of the game who have helped me in chat, I'd be so lost in the complexities of this game. It's truly a game with great detail. And as I practice Longsword fencing, it's nice to see the combat is pretty realistic too!

It would be so good if you were to do more game making videos in 2021, those game making journey videos are how I found your channels a few years ago and they are some of my favourite videos of yours/ favourite videos on youtube. I like to revisit the game making journey series from time to time still to this day.

I’m not gonna lie me and you have had really different experiences with the cyberpunk community. I completely understand where your coming from but I found the reddit full of people complaining about random dumb stuff that isn’t an issue and is only given the time of day because of the hate it’s getting.

The very first clip you showed when talking about AC Odyssey is actually from AC Origins

you inspired me to install xcom 2 never played it but seems good i like those type of games thanks

You start the video with XCOM 2? You legend! LIKE well deserved sir

Still haven't finished RDR2. The slow pacing just burns me out.

I so, so agree about RDR2. Brilliant in a lot of ways, but it's just incredibly slow, and the gameplay is pretty damn simple for my tastes.

Hearing boneworks music for the intro on a video from you just made me happy lol

ayyy! BONEWORKS music in the intro :DD

Cyberpunk is such a weird game, I'm always left feeling bad for people when they don't like it, because I really do, although saying that I wouldn't be able to give a reason as to why. The game is very broken, very underwhelming and very mediocre, but it caught me, granted I haven't dumped many hours into it (20~) it's a game I like going back to, loading it up when I have free time and just enjoying being in it. I'm not even someone who can normally stay with single player games for long sessions but Cyberpunk can easily hold me for 2 hours. I have no idea why anyone would like it, but I love it and wish other people would be able to enjoy it as much as I have. Great video though as always, really well thought out and incredibly entertaining for what is effectively an opinion on some games

Over 50 hours into Cyberpunk and haven’t done more of the story than necessary to unlock the whole map. I love running around slicing people up with my mantis blades to complete police and side gig jobs. I like completing all of the map like I did with AC Odyssey and Mad Max. I don’t think it is as good as Witcher 3 but I like it more than RDR2.

You convinced me to get Xcom 2 and I’ve been having so much fun

Love the Operation Flashpoint theme in the Boneworks and Odyssey bits.

Philip, you will love Disco Elysium. Just play it.

16:09 Clearly you haven't read what gets posted on r/cyberpunkgame since CP77's launch

hearing you talk so lovingly about Xcom 2 is so wonderful, but I also get reminded of how my Xcom 2 stopped working :( a double edged sword

Superliminal, Philip. Happy New Year!
