Yeah, I was kinda rushing through, since I didn't have much time to play, but that is absolutely a world I could've lived in

Honestly, I find it a miracle I've finished even half this list

It's been real good for JRPG fans but pretty bad for like...everything outside of Japan. It's not as bad as 2021, though. I think the only unanimously critical success was a Forza game that year (that didn't even get nominated).

It's the lowest reviewed Game Awards nomination since the ceremony began. From what I've seen, it's fine, but it's mostly just driven by its popularity abroad. (And it's kind of a weak year in terms of the number of high-scoring games.)

I honestly feel like it's just people getting attached to an arbitrary feeling of fairness. Just because Elden Ring already won. I think if Phantom Liberty had made it onto the list last year, people wouldn't be as annoyed.
