Personally, I've never understood Astro Bot, and seeing this list, it does feel remarkably out of place to me.

And I can't really vouch for Clair Obscur, I just started playing it yesterday, but it does seem pretty good so far!

Oh, absolutely. But in the context of the year it earned its award, it's hard to deny the massive influence it had.

I looked up the other nominees in 2016, just for reference.

  • Doom – id Software
  • Inside – Playdead
  • Titanfall 2 – Respawn Entertainment
  • Uncharted 4: A Thief's End – Naughty Dog

What a stacked year it was!
