Yotei had the most fun moment to moment gameplay for me but the story was very underwhelming

See i felt like E33's story declines once Verso is introduced

By the time we get to the end I just wanted the plot line to be over

E33 and it's not even close

...Because it's the only game on that list I've been able to play...but I'm confident in my answer damnit

 

[Microfracture]

E33 has been it for me. Most complete blend of gameplay, story, characters, OST. Amazing game.

Honorable mentions: Hades 2, DS2, Split Fiction, Yotei, Dispatch

Hades 2 in particular perfected their formula from the first game. Been playing since early access and it's crazy how deep they went with everything.

Avowed & Doom shouldn’t be here

Could’ve place Assassin’s Creed Shadows in their place

But still Expeditions 33

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Silksong for me.

I really enjoyed E33 but the gameplay in silksong is just too good

Voted Clair Obscur but I've only played about half of these, backlog is crazy

No Mario Kart: World?!?! DK Bonanza is fun as hell but a little too simplistic for GOTY

 

[Chef]

A lot of good conversations to be had about how good this year was. There’s a little bit of everything for someone.

It’s in the poll

 

[The Pledge]

Outer Worlds 2.

Amazing sequel, on my second playthrough now.

Avowed was good but I think avowed 2 will be GoTY.

 

[Womb Raider]

GTA 6, oh wait
