Collectathon mascot platformer that was overall forgettable (hadn't heard anyone talk about it since its release). Compare that to SOTE, which is 1. already part of a previous GOTY winner 2. talked about constantly 3. way more content & more carefully/artfully crafted. But it's DLC so I understand
Balatro is constantly talked about and currently ruining peoples lives. Rebirth is a remake of one of the most iconic video games of all time and I think brings a great spin to the gameplay, so I agree should have won. Metaphor I think is too niche to win but still talked about more than Astrobot
I think overall the lineup for GOTY was weak af but I still would put quite a few ahead of Astrobot. Not saying it's bad or shit game but just seems unworthy. I think it's a product of games journalists having jobs and a quick collectathon platformer is more conducive to adult life than the others.
All fair points. I do hate that the journos pick all the nominees and then their vote matters the most. It’s really just a popularity contest, which is lame. But yeah was just curious on your thoughts. Thank you for sharing, gamer o7
