I'm not even talking about reviews though. I am talking about popularity. If you look at sales or social media/google mentions, twitch streams, etc..., the games that dominated this year were Animal Crossing and Among Us. When I think of games from 2020, these are the first two that come to mind. These were the games that people were actually playing. None of the others are even close. These GOTY picks are biased because they are so heavily based on reviews. The critics' tastes are not the same as the average gamer's tastes. |
That’s like saying The Last Jedi was the best movie of the year because it sold the most at the box office. Besides these awards include both critic AND Readers Choice awards - of which TLOU Part II is also dominating. Lastly - Among Us came out in 2018 - shouldn’t a game of the year count the year they come out - not when they become popular?
