What I'd ideally like to see from you is an actual case for why, in your view, Ori deserved to win over TLOU2 rather than just an endless, directionless trashing of the community choice.

You're not going to get an answer or a case stuy, if you're going to come back at me like that, because in your view, you've already pre-determined not only your view on what I can say as being what is bolded, but also what your own answer would be.

You also excused TLOU2, a game with a far higher budget than any small studio could dream of (and trust me, a lot actually do), yet you didn't really put much out for Ori, and even stripped it down to being a basic "cosmetic expansion", completely ignoring what it had too offer, it's art direction etc. 

You and others seem to be forever stuck into this weird, company warped mentality that a smaller game can never be better than one with a bigger budget and hype marketing, and "haterz" rallying against it. I find it a bit remorseful that some cannot look past it, no matter what is said.

A game like Night in the Woods helped me accept and deal with the fact that my mother was gone forever, back in 2017, and no other big budget game made me realise this, because most high budget games are designed for a casual crowd, not poaching questions on life and death, hell, even spiritfarer brings me back to the view of life and death and passing on, yet I still see no massive insane budgeted title delving into those aspects of life. There's still no game that evokes such power and questions in the AAA space, with an anime like Evangelion for example.

All you get with TLOU II is quite literally a culmination of borrowed ideas and concepts from other existing medias that deal with outbreaks and apocalypse scenarios, yet it again gets a pass, because it's somehow incredibly unique? (While we all conveniently ignore The walking dead, Night of the living dead, day of the dead, TTG The Walking dead etc, all dealing with outbreaks and apocalypse scenarios with drama involved).
