I'd agree. I've played most of the games in contention, and they are fantastic. Ghost is up there, but I don't know what I'd cut?

I actually kinda called, way back in Feb that Kingdom Come Deliverance II is GoT worthy. I'm still astonished it got up, after what was a very strong year for gaming.

Ah! Were you also born Nov 8?

Those are indeed facts.

I just think more investment is needed? Voice acting for starters, then more attention to the overall look, flow of the game?

In fairness, most models in the game are good. But, I don't think Emma's ass or Jacinthe's hair are worth $110.

Fans may fight me on that.

Have played it! Strong agree. So good.

Four words: Fiona Apple Boss Fight.

Though the last fight to Nine Inch Nails Perfect Drug is also epic.

I thought the exact same thing and posted about it earlier. It's so janky and hilarious!

Was torn between the croc and Chikorita. And while I love Meganium more than Ferogator, I’ve picked Chikorita in many other games.

It's something! I'll update it PAX Aus comes through with the data. But it does at least point out a trend, and I clearly qualify the data is hazy.

Didn't have a lot of data to work with, but with what Renee collated over the past three years, I could come up with this chart:
