I mean it largely happened because Omori got done absolutely dirty with a 2/10 lol.

I literally wrote an essay on why I gave it a 2. If you have it archived, post it up here and then we can argue about the points I made.

Omori fucking blows as a game. The gameplay is just an exercise in tedium and the story which is the only real draw of the game, shoots itself in the foot. Even if you discount the terribly botched ending, 90% of the story which is a terribly paced imitation of Earthbound and Undertale is just not fun as either. And I don't even like Earthbound that much but Omori makes it look like a world beater of a game in quality.

Courtesy of Mr. "Every niche/indie game is wildly overrated"

Never ever said every niche game is overrated so stop spinning that narrative (I could argue the point about how a 'niche' game can even be overrated in the first place) but yeah most indie games are. Not all but most of them are.

Indie games receive egregious favoritism and bias from both professional reviewers and their income challenged fanbase because they have to take pity on the game made on a shoestring budget by a studio of two from their mom's basement.
