![Top 10 NEW Games of 2021 [FIRST HALF]](https://www.gameplayvideoshare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/maxresdefault-22-320x180.jpg)
I survive two valorant advertisements in a row before the video, and the first thing that’s mentioned is valorant
OOOF
@Yo Idk haven‘t you heard about People who use their phone to watch YT
@Chip haven’t u heard of something called an adblocker
@Robert Sears csgo is funny game but the other two…
get AdBlock for YouTube 🙂
The comment section is filled with Immortal’s and Genshin’s praise, looks like they are most surprising this year…
Among us, the game that got it 2 years late.
@David Nitchman Do people actually like playing it or do people just like watching people play it? Because I don’t know anyone who has a large enough group of friends to play it consistently and Among Us is terrible with randos.
@dollahbill510 exactly it’s just too repetitive for me and I like console games better than mobile games
@dollahbill510 get some friends, bruh.
@dollahbill510 that’s where you’re just wrong. It is consistently in the top games streamed on Twitch and has a massive amount of content on YouTube. This game is still a hit.
Just because you didn’t like it after a week doesn’t mean that it isn’t a hit. That’s like me saying that RDR2 wasn’t a hit because I don’t like rockstar games.
Among Us isn’t some surprise hit, hell… it’s not even a hit. Among Us was fun from the first week of playing it, to maybe the first month, depending on how many people you have that play it.
In order for the game to be fun, you need friends to play with. Otherwise, you just get one person yelling “sus” while 5 other morons vote for who is getting targeted by lead morons “sus”
gameranx probably wasn’t surprised about Genshin Impact being a hit.
@Cloud Bank do you even play the game bro ? 😂
@Zulkarnain Abd Malik thats not a reason that its not on the list
@Zulkarnain Abd Malik it is a gacha game indeed but comparing it to games like fifa is not fare those games are competitive games and it’s all based on what you get from the packs/loot boxes but genshin on the other hand is f2p friendly I’ve been playing it since the launch and haven’t spent a single money and still got pretty much what I want. And you don’t need to have every character in the game to beat it there are many youtubers/streamers who have beaten the hardest content in the game with the characters you get just by playing without summoning let alone spending a single money which is why I’m fine with it being gacha game
One reason : Gacha
Every one talking about is Genshin is good or bad, you are missing the point. People called Genshin a rip off before release, many still do, but it was undeniably a success, a huge one, which is the point of this list.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is fantastic
Genshin impact puts it to dust
@DylanB04 fax
I regretted buying it on switch tbh
I wish I bought that but I’m waiting for Sony to give me a refund for Cold War since it’s hard crashed my ps5 and is on the verge of bricking the console
“Overtooken” -Falcon, 2021
Over toucan?
Now he’s making up his own language i guess…
“I’m just gonna go ahead and say…”- Falcon, 2021…onwards
Immortals Fenyx Rising is a superb game, highly recommend it. Been playing it the last few days and I’m loving it, I was hoping it would be good and it is genuinely awesome. They have done a great job making this, the gameplay is brilliant, the story is interesting, the characters are fun and engaging plus some of the dialogue is very funny. The world is beautiful and imaginative. They have used influences from Odyssey and Botw to create their own game which stands on its own feet. Very pleased, played lots of hours and loving it!
I bought assassins creed Valhalla and lowkey wish I bought this one.
They spelled it wrong in the video
Playing it on my Switch…..very cool
Tbh i did not expect to enjoy this game as much as i do i wanted a ps5 game and there aremy that many so i got it and omg its fun
For me it was Spiritfarer, had no prior knowledge of it, then briefly read about the premise. And well, after the year we’ve all had it seemed like the right game to play.
It hurt me bad to set free my first spirit. It’s so beautiful
@sai venkat I noticed it.
Why isn’t it still Spiritfarer?
You had no knowledge about it because, spiritfarer’s reveal was just after cyberpunk trailer revealed along with Keanu reevs. So, basically nobody even noticed that game
Spiritfarer is amazing! Check out their other games Sundered and Jotun!
It never ceases to amaze me how many games Falcon has played.
This dude does neither eate nor sleep
Yeah right. He should start a YouTube channel on which he talks about games along with a few more people.
@Ben Behrenfeld who?
@Ben Behrenfeld very good point
We only ever hear from Jake and Falcon, but there are other people who work at gameranx.
“Overtooken”. That’s a new one. 👌
I love Immortals. Out of nowhere for me too.
No genshin impact?
Free to play but premium feel open world game
@kaladbolgII off course, can’t deny that
@I I but it has a good Graphics gameplay and big open world for free u dont normaly get that game for free thats a Little revolution and besides there are people that likes game with grind like me
@1932__Vaishnav Kadam Very true, but that’s the reason.
A free to play, gacha, mobile game, that many called a rip off, yet it was very successful. This is the definition of a surprise hit.
With tons of microtrasactions*
It’s a mobile game at heart though. Insane grind.
fun fact: “NOITA” means “WITCH” in finnish.
Man.. Genshin Impact should be there
lol “over tooken” love everything you do Falcon but that made me wince, 🙂
You should’ve been there for the Midgar pronunciation.
You’d be surprised how many people think tooken is a word also worser isn’t either let’s leave them both in 2020 😂
Everything he does makes me wince
Gah I’m so glad someone else caught this.. love Falcon, love GameRanx. But geeee that’s one of my biggest pet peeves.. tooken in any sense. 😂
Im suprised fall guys is on this list seeing how fast it died
Play Immortals while listening to the Hades soundtrack. . . . Your welcome.
Hades is idiocy.
you mean the fall out boys track
Thank you! 👌
Hades was awesome i like how the game is a endless loop of trying to see mother, and how we are the same as Father unable to leave hell for long. Such a good game.
the immortals soundtrack is really good though
Who here thought number 1 would be Among Us, but then realised it was released in 2018…
Mafia remake was a surprise for me. What a good game!
Yes! Just bought the trilogy and I’m on Mafia 2 now. What a game.
Damn Genshin Impact is getting a lot of love in the comments lol. Wish it didn’t make my phone uncomfortably hot to hold when I use it :l
@Rydoge21 u need a new phone i have xiaomi redmi note 8 pro and its between 30 40 fps on hightest settings
@Cloud Bank haters just gonna hate lol
@Electron Resonator i have a low end phone but i still played it for hours and my phone only got warm not hot so 🙄 idk why
@Cloud Bank you too
