I would say you are very much an outlier in this because sure it is important how much you enjoy a game, but for a critic, review or GOTY it depends of the game itself as a product and not on how you perceive it by your taste.

Nothing wrong with you liking those games but that isn't how a GOTY is decided, even more because fun is factored completely subjectively.

Yeah. If you look at how reviewers think of these games as a product, for example:

The Last of Us Part II - 93
Hades - 93
Ori and the Will of the Wisps - 93

oh wait

And same reviewers that gave those scores had no question on which of these 3 was the better game and certainly you think they hold AAA and indies at the same standard when scoring right?

I can't believe people are still arguing that indie games are inferior.

It's 2021, dudes.

Get a grip.

Nobody said they were inferior, we said they don't typically win GotY awards, which they don't.  

I asked a few pages ago and never got an answer.  Name one Indie game that won the most GotY awards in any given year.

Journey finished a close second that year



Walking Dead won more GotY awards than Mass Effect 3, xenoblade, dishonored and persona 4?

Fair enough, then once in a decade occurrence.

Fair enough. I'm not even sure what Walking Dead is, never played it.

You said "Comparatively it was [weaker]. The fact you guys are listing Indie and Remakes... basically demonstrates as much.

That sure sounds as you saying indies and remakes are inferior to other games.



Signature goes here!

I'm saying they are less likely to win awards. Which I believe previous winners largely support that position.  By "weaker" I'm not talking about quality but competition for awards.  

Personally I think RE2 is one of the best games of the generation.

Blind Forest is the best game on the Xbox.  

I just think most media outlets and consumers are biased towards larger budget games.
