I don't know about Inscryption and Chicory but Halo over Dread and RE8 is ridiculous. Halo being anywhere that high on the list is ridiculous.

I feel like a fair bunch of these don't count. Seems like a pretty bad list anyways.

Halo Infinite?

I've already beaten the campaign which is better than Guardians and 4 but worse than the trilogy which is also nothing extraordinary. I didn't delve into the multiplayer if that is where it actually gets its acclaim.

The Game Awards' Game of the Year isn't even here, wow!

The only thing I like these lists for is introducing me to new games. Never heard of Wildermyth or Unsighted before!

Not that Game Awards should mean anything anywhere, but I am surprised It Takes Two is not there.

Wildermyth is super cool, other than maybe Halo its probably the 2021 game I spent the most time with... I think Im at like 80 hours or something and I could have played more.

There were several outlets that thought It Takes Two was a bad game.

I have literally no opinion on the game myself, ht I saw a lot fo hate for it this year.

Game Awards results were based on votes from critics, so there should be a lot of sites where it does well...

You keep saying this every time the game is brought up. It has an 89 average on Opencritic with over 100 reviews - whoever these 'several outlets' are, they are clearly in the minority. I don't understand why you keep doing this, especially in regards to a game you haven't played.

I feel like it takes 2 probably has detractors because it is a game that is literally impossible to play without a friend and some people take incredible offense to this notion that there might be a good game they can't play because they are extremely socially inept.

Unsighted is a pretty fun Zelda-like. Nice to see it getting recognition.

I've thought about playing Wildermyth a few times. Maybe I should try it out...

It hits on some things overlooked by TGA at least. Needs Astalon, though. That should hold up as a noteworthy m.vania.

Played:
40. Dorfromantik
32. Genshin Impact
8. Wildermyth
7. Death's Door

Can recommend any of these, but especially Wildermyth. (I've spent far more time playing Genshin than anything else over the last 16 months, but I'm not going to push an MMO-esque gacha game on others.)

I'm also surprised It Takes Two isn't here. Perfectly deserving GotY winner, at least for as much of it as I've played.

^It's by the developer of Pony Island and The Hex. If you haven't played those, you should.

FF7R was #4 last year. Their top 10 last year was way worse despite 2020 being a better year for games, somehow...

Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island isn't getting any recognition and it's a lot more substantial than Episode Yuffie.
