Very glad Hades is in second place! Very impressive when you know certain people treat indies like they're lesser games somehow and only consider AAA games to be eligible for GOTY awards.

I can only speak for myself, and really rarely an Indie really blows me up and make me want to play. I had several good ones that were given on PS+ and some others I purchased, but well for my taste they really can't compare to AAA games and would be hard to win a GOTY (but yes they are eligible, not only for their category, which brings exposition and is good, to genre and even for overall but hardly you'll see a year that you can critic wise say an Indie was the best game above every other one in most metrics, even more because it won't generally even manage to get the top end on graphics, OST, voice acting and others that truly depend on a lot of financial investment and manpower).

Yeah, there are some great indie games but given the choice I'd rather play something with a higher budget vs a smaller production value one (doesn't even need to be AAA). Doesn't mean people can enjoy a game less for being an indie though and can respect that people might like a game more over another, its just not for me.

Its like bit like choosing watch a big blockbuster film with high production vs an indie. I know which one I'd rather pick :P
