Breath Of The Wild wasn't brown. It was a rainbow compared to the likes of everything Naughty Dog's put out the past few years. For a game as pleasing to look at AND play as Tears of The Kingdom or Super Mario Bros. Wonder to lose the highest award to something more muted and generic is just insulting and feels like a personal attack.

Thats what Im saying. BOTW won in 2017, so I dont see how brown games are always winning. Also TLOU2 is actually very colorful for a post apocalyptic game.

It's still a photorealistic depressant, which is the only reason it won instead of the much better Animal Crossing New Horizons. That game was much needed in a time of crisis because it actually made people feel better instead of pissing them off and/or depressing them. Seems the old trope "True Art Is Angsty" holds unfortunately true to this sham of an award show. It's like the video game equivalent of Leonardo DiCapprio losing out at the Oscars for years while pretentious foreign art films nobody actually saw won every year.
