Erd Tree bas no place in that list. It's laughable, I liked it but it's not a full game. Stellar Blade is a game from this year that should be in its place. I'm not even gonna tune into this clown show.
Metaphor could have been game of the year for me but for so many tiny issues that pulled up over the course of the long game and gave it a death by a thousand paper cuts. It had so much promise.
I've not played anything else so I'll have to go with Astrobot as it's the one I know will be great cause it's a continuation of Rescue Mission and Playroom. I'll probably get Astro and WuKong in before the end of the year but not before the awards.
