Expedition 33 coronation as expected.

Thing that surprised me the most was Wuthering Waves for Players Choice Award over Expedition 33, Dispatch, Silksong, Death Stranding, Ghost of Yotei, and KCD2. Literal complete stable of awesome games across genres lost out to a gatcha game. Are there just more gooner gamers than I thought? 🤔

Flute guy killed it as usual!

What are your thoughts on the awards and show overall?

    Sad to see that so many FANTASTIC games ended up with nil, because E33 stole the show so hard, but it’s tough to argue that they didn’t deserve each one.

    I’ll argue it.

    Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a gorgeous creation. The music is wonderful, the scenery is lovely, and the English voice acting surprisingly good.

    But its gameplay is bog standard JRPG battles with a basic parry mechanic. Nothing original or interesting there.

    I feel it deserved every award it received for being a work of art, but Game of the Year? No.
