The sad truth is that this was mostly a shit year for games with a couple of outstanding exceptions. E33, Silksong, Dispatch, and..... maybe the FFT Remake if you want to count that? Rest were holdovers from wokified studios recouping costs before they get gobbled up by other companies or middle tier crapola / uninspired lootbox sequels that people will completely forget in a year or two. And unless Larian works its best magic on DOS3, next year is looking even worse.

I dont know, February is already pretty stacked with some big stuff. Resident evil, Kiwami 3, Nioh 3, Fatal Frame etc. Really looking forward to Nioh.

Honestly, I'm relieved that Dispatch didn't win anything. Calling it a "video game" feels like a massive stretch. It's closer to an interactive experience or a glorified narrative vignette than an actual game in any meaningful sense of the word.

Awarding something like that over titles with real mechanics, cohesive systems, and sustained engagement would have sent a pretty bad signal. One that suggests games are just vibes and cinematics rather than interactive works that demand design rigor. So yeah, I'm glad it walked away empty-handed. There's room for projects like Dispatch to exist, but pretending it belongs in the same category as actual games is just dishonest.

Is it like that Gone Home “game” where you watch the tranny come home and find out her whole family is gone because they’re so disgusted?
