  It’s just one of those years. There were a lot of great games that came out this year.

    I feel out of touch. The only one I saw nominated for anything that I’ve played was no mans sky.

    The only other one that I haven’t played but heard of, was that silksong game.

    The rest? No clue what these games are. But I see everyone saying this was a great year for games.

      Clair Obscur was all anybody gaming related talked about for weeks.

      Don’t feel out of touch, the industry is bigger than ever and the sheer number of games coming out is impossible to keep up with. As an employed adult, I’ve found the only way I can sort of keep up is by following a streamer like moistcritikal who is open to playing pretty much anything.

      Oh wow, you entirely missed Death Stranding 2, Hades 2, Hollow Knight Silksong and Clair Obscur? The latter basically took over the entirety of all gaming discussion and news for ~2 months.

  I can ignore the RNG fest that is drawing the rooms but for the love of god there so many interactions that have no business being as long as they are (for example anything related to computer terminals). If the game can clearly be better than it currently is then in my books it cannot be a GOTY nomination. In case of Blue Prince the game could absolutely waste less of the players time. It’s the reason I gave up on it because there’s no reason to play if I feel like the time I spend playing is just wasted time.

  Having played a fair bit of it, I can see why it isn’t.

  I olayed the crap out of blue prince and I actually hated the game. Might just be me though but IMO the game has some incredible big flaws.

  It’s kinda up to the judges of the specific event, and they clearly aren’t interested as much in puzzle games.

    I know it never had a chance to win it. It never had a chance to win the soundtrack award either, but a nomination is still something.

    I’m assuming Silksong snags the Indie Award but Best Debut Indie should be possible to win perhaps. It’s such a unique, interesting and inventive game and it deserves recognition.

  I dunno. It's a very well-made game, but also kinda... understandable not on the same level as Hades 2, Silksong of Clair Obscur.

  Plus it got a GOTY nomination or two, I bet. Which just doesn't put it high enough though.
