Wow, the only games I want to see win anything are Dispatch and I guess Peak. Pretty much everything else did not click with me. E33 has really surprised me with how widely praised it is. I put it in the same area as Death Stranding 2. I recognize that people seem to really like those games but I just do not get the same enjoyment and I cant understand what other people like so much about them, other than that they evidently do.

    E33 is the only game to have ever made me ugly-cry, and it did it multiple times. That alone secures it a place in my personal pantheon. I didn’t love the combat system, but I will admit that’s because I have never liked JRPG systems, and I eventually grew to be okay with it. The game was a work of art and passion that we rarely ever see, and that came through.

    Different strokes for different folks and all that. I personally couldn't stand The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, or Baldur's Gate 3 despite them being constantly praised.

    I bounced off Witcher 3 too. Watched friends play a lot of RDR2, not interested.

    ...BG3 was sublime though. I don't even like D&D combat, or 'Tolkien-esque' fantasy, but holy hell. It's gorgeous, it just oozes charisma, and was quite fun in coop.
