That said, it doesn't mean that Shadow of the Erdtree is not worth to be a nominee for an award, it is a good expansion but there should be a category exclusively for what it is, a DLC.

Rain World:

Definitely not a game for everyone, an extremely hostile metroidvania with few tools to defend yourself. I would recomend it only to die hard fans of exploration and survival games.

Objectively is extremely well made but personally I couldn't bring myself to like it and finish it.

Dredge:

A Lovecraftian horror exploration game. Pretty good ambientation and storytell although it might be a little too short, it lefts you with a sense of wanting a bit more.

Didn't try the DLCs as they don't seem to add too much to the main story.

Sea of Stars:

An ode to classic RPGs with beautiful sceneries and a simple (in a good way) turn based combats.

There is one thing that I didn't like too much, without spoilers, there is a event in the game that somehow broke a bit the inmersion for me, but overall is a pretty good game.

Blasphemous II:

As a spaniard, this game captures (again) really well the thematic of the catholic culture in Spain.

The original voice acting is one of the best I've come across and the OST is on par.

The only "downside" its that I didn't feel that the combat evolved too much from the orignal.

Not struggling as a social network thats for sure, i mean it as technical issues.
