No matter which title you choose, you can't go wrong!

This year's Japan Game Awards 2021 "Game of the Year" winners are all masterpieces! The fact that they have been selected for this year's award alone indicates that they have sold well and are highly acclaimed titles, but I personally think that " Amaho no Sakunahime " is a title that you should definitely play! Atsumare Animal Crossing ", which won the "Grand Prize" and the "Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award" last year, won the "Global Award (Japan)" again this year. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War," which won the "Global Award (Overseas Production)," was the winner of the "Global Award (Overseas Production)" last year for its previous title, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This is the second consecutive year that the game has won this award.

With such high acclaim from around the world, it's hard to find a reason not to play "Atsumare: Animal Crossing" and "Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War"! These are all classics, so if you haven't played them yet, please take this opportunity to do so!
