‘Alan Wake 2’ Complicates An Already Wild GOTY Competition

  Reject the idea of an absolute GOTY, normalize a Mt. Rushmore style "Best of the Year" selection.

  Games can be great in so many different ways, many of which are somewhat exclusive with each other, that I've never understood the concept of saying that one was better than the rest.

      My go-to response whenever someone asks me what my favourite X are is "In no specific order..." followed by like 25 names

      I would be surprised if this doesnt take it overal this year.

      It is my 2nd favourite game of the year, but I am very biased towards fighting games and Street Fighter 6 is so damn good.

      There have been just way to many great games this year, and honestly dont have enough time(or money) to get through them all.

    As someone who almost 100% it with all shrines… Nah. Totk honestly didn’t take enough risks as botw and the new additions were disappointing. The sky islands were copy pasted many times with the same layout, the dungeons were arguably not much better than botw, and the depths all looked the same.

    The game is also piss easy once you have enough hearts to tank hits. Still so disappointed I first-tried the final boss.

    Instead of a zelda game, they gave us mid legos and 10 fps. I dont understand how anyone thought it was playable.

    Its an expansion for botw, at best.

      Not being playable is a bit extreme, it’s just boring and tedious, and steps back on its extreme design choices of the predecessor

      If you want to disqualify games for quest-breaking glitchiness at launch, BG3 gets disqualified before TotK does.

    What? That does not mean anything? Totk is not even a word

  You can tell gaming has been mid for so long that we get a couple of ok titles again and they are like “there is no room for all these GOTY titles!!” lol

  I’m about 13 hours in AW2 and it’s not a complication. This is one of the few easy choices to put up there. BG3, this and TotK even if it wasn’t my cup of tea. 3 last 3 have a bunch of choices but I would be very confused if AW was snubbed with some of the issues the other contenders have (RE4 is an exception to this, it’s risk is just that it’s a remake and now there is a concrete horror candidate)
