What's the most pure fun you've had with a game so far in 2024?

Do ya ever wonder why that is? 🤔  Your game of the year should essence be the game you had the best time with but we all do it, we come up with little lies we tell ourselves and black out the really shit parts of some games and that's why you get games like God of War Ragnorok or FF7 Rebirth, games with long sections people don't stop complaining about but it ends up as their GOTY anyway. It makes no sense that we do it. 

idk if GotY need be the game you had most fun with. Otherwise, BotW and TotK would be my personal GotY every year since 2017 lol. And even if we restrict to new releases, BotW Remastered for NSW2 (as has been rumored to be coming) would not make sense as GotY. If it’s not an original experience, it’s doesn’t truly represent the best that this year had to offer, which is what I personally believe GotY should represent.

I suppose so but there's something to be said about complaining about so many things in a game, like FF7 Rebirth folks complaining about mini games and just glossing over all that when the time comes. It tells developers that it's okay to put nonsense into games or with Sony first party, it's okay to make things detrimentally hand holding experiences with little player agency or Sega and atlus games to have 5 second walking sequences in between cutscenes and the game will still be loved.
