The year 2021 was rather slow for video games. We didn’t have a lot of groundbreaking title releases this year, and let’s be honest: it was a boring year to live in for gaming. Nonetheless, we had some good releases like Deathloop, It Takes Two, Metroid Dread, Forza Horizon 5, and Resident Evil: Village, among others, but none felt exceptional. Thanks to howlongtobeat.com, we know which were the most completed games in 2021, starting with RE: Village and Metroid Dread.
The most finished game of 2021 was Resident Evil: Village. This game was a fan favorite from the moment it came out. Everything from the story to visuals, to voice acting, and characters like Lady Dimitrescu and Ethan make the game a wonderful experience. It easily is one of the best Resident Evil games released in the last few years.
The games that follow Resident Evil Village on the list include Metroid Dread, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, It Takes Two, and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury. It is quite interesting to note the other four games are all family-friendly titles. Therefore, they are much more likely to be played by a broader audience. The game at the top, Resident Evil: Village, is an M-rated title, with intense violent gameplay and scenes of rampant killing and horror.
This stresses the fact Village won the hearts of the fans over. It has awesome pacing and does not feel slow at any point in the gameplay. Moreover, RE: Village is full of tips and tricks and has non-repetitive side stuff that speeds the game further up.
