10/10 and undeniably the GOTY IMO, unless DS2 lives up to the hype of course, but even then I personally don’t see anything this year being better personally, Bulders Gate 3 was the last game that had me feeling like this..

This was a special game

The build combination damage you can make on this is so easily game breaking if you want…I 1 shotted Simon lol

Square needs competition.

Hopefully the next Final Fantasy will blow this out the water....who knows.

I expect all of the next RPG games from every team are gonna feel the pressure to include dodge and parry mechanics now the same way every FPS feels the pressure to have a battle royale mode. Going back to an RPG where you have to just sit there and eat damage feels archaic.

Death Stranding 2 is absolutely not going to beat this game for GOTY.

yeah I can't see a polarizing/complex game like DS ever winning GOTY, even if E33 wasn't in the picture (assuming 2 will be more of the same)

the stars are def aligning here though - amazing soundtrack/characters/voice acting/gameplay, great cutscenes (movie games :ohlawd:), creative story that everyone can easily understand and appreciate, non-cookie cutter ending, the sales, the critical acclaim, no controversy behind it (no grifter antics, no stans undermining since it's multi-plat, etc etc)

best I can see is Ghost of Yotei being runner up quality, but beyond that, I don't know if Sucker Punch has a generational game in them
