Yeah, I was kinda referring to that in my post - I don't play JRPGs, so when I eventually try Clair Obscur, even if I end up loving it, I won’t be able to assess it objectively, as I lack a proper frame of reference.

On the other hand, I've been playing CRPGs for over 40 years, so I can evaluate them fairly impartially. BG3 was a media darling, widely liked by a broader audience, and it won most of the GOTY awards. Yet from my point of view, it's not as good a CRPG as its accolades make it out to be.

So, as I said, in context of GOTY, my guess is that Clair Obscur wins, and that JRPG fans who have tons of games from the genre under their belt can really tell whether it's really deserving it or not...I can't, even if it turns out to be my GOTY.

I'm not a big CRPG player, like Divinity and Baldurs Gate and that's it, BG3 is fantastic, really fun and addictive gameplay, I might have around 500 hours on it. The battle system is very deep, and the amount of options and customization allows for many different interactions and outcomes. Plus, the characters are iconic and memorable. I think it's the best game released this generation
