    My GOTY personally. Left a really strong impression. Combat is an absolute joy, and the boss fights are my favorite since Sekiro. Story and atmosphere are incredible, you can at times really feel that this is a studio accustomed to making horror games.

    They totally nailed it, in other words. Great post-release support as well. Can’t wait to see what they do next

      The artwork looks great to me, but I can’t really see anything amazing game mechanics wise from the trailer. What do you think makes it GOTY for you? (I’d genuinely want to give this game a try)

      Same. Was disappointed (but not entirely surprised) to see it getting ignored by pretty much all of the game awards.

        This is purely conspiratorial but I think given the studio’s notable previous controversy, they probably excluded it because Wukong has such a prominent presence this year.

        Other than that, yeah it just doesn’t make sense to me. Nine sols has better sales and reviews than other games being honored
