The only award I think it didn't deserve was Best RPG.

But, on the other hand, it should have gotten Best Sound Design over BF6; so it still would have gotten 9 awards.

Truly a masterpiece of a game. To those haters saying "But not even BG3 got that many awards!" it's not a fair comparison. BG3 is a slightly better game IMO, but Expedition 33 is a work of art on top of being an amazing game and appeals to a much wider audience. Which isn't to say games like BG3 aren't beautiful, but I think anyone would agree that E33 is on a whole other level.

    I'll see you Best RPG and raise you a Best Independent and Best Debut Indie.

    They have a publisher that funded them with hedge fund money and outsourced aspects of the production to entirely different companies. I'm not making a comment on the quality of the game, but how is that indie?

    Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

    I love E33 but the RPG mechanics are pretty barebones.

    The parry mechanic completely ruined the combat for me, I still can't motivate myself to finish the game because of it.

    Most of the attacks are easy to parry, but about 1/4 of them are complete bullshit with unreadable animations and broken timing. I finished the game but didn't bother beating Simon. Apparently being level 95 with 20k health isn't enough. Completely unbalanced game.
