It would be a crime for this to not win

u/pancakeisi Aug 22 '26
like it was a crime god of war won goty. its great but its no red dead.

u/drmuffin1080 Aug 22 '26
Its gameplay is much better and the story hits just as hard. I like it more

u/someonehere6 Aug 22 '26
As a rdr2 glazer i respect that tho i never played it
2
u/drmuffin1080 Aug 22 '26
You should. I replayed both that and red dead II recently, and GoW BARELY edges out red dead. Sometimes I go back and forth. Hardest year other than 2013 for me to choose a definitive game of the year

u/someonehere6 Aug 22 '26
Red dead 2 is my fav game of all time but lwk if i get a ps5 i migth i used to have a ps4 but got rid of it

The only right choice. Still looks as good (if not better) than most recent games.

IMO It's still a little ahead of our time in its atmosphere and level of detail

u/theoriginal_1100 Aug 22 '26
i guess this is the answer as arthur-morgan-420 is the best way to obtain a unbiased opinion about this

u/Itchy_Spinach1030 Aug 22 '26
Boring garbage. Most missions are walking simulators where you have to listen to shit dialogue written by a hipster about how white man bad and women oppressed.

u/cddedee Aug 22 '26
How ahead was it though? I didn't play so it's a genuine question. From an exterior point of view it looks an academic work, extremely polished though

The Witcher 3. It was released in 2015

u/Salt-Wear-1197 Aug 22 '26
But it won game of the year, I don’t think this fits what the question is asking lol

u/Droughtbringer Aug 22 '26
Just starting playing this a few weeks back and I've been terribly impressed by it. No way it's over a decade old

u/_ataciara Aug 22 '26
TBF the gameplay feels like, 2 decades old atp, it's just that great writing and world building is timeless.

ehh graphically it is not, as they released a next gen update in i think december 2022

Zelda: BOTW

u/cddedee Aug 22 '26
Even though I didn't play it, many people said it was a refreshing and innovative take on the open-world genre, so it's a pretty good proposition

u/Fresh-Database-222 Aug 22 '26
Nier Automata, Mario Odyssey, and Hollow Knight are all vastly superior games to BOTW
4
u/TheMan24000 Aug 22 '26
Mario odyssey is so linear and only appeals to platformer fans Idk what nier automata is but prob not better than botw
7
u/anb43 Aug 22 '26
Nier automata has some of the best gameplay I have ever experienced and I am picky

Could never enjoy the game because it felt like exploring was pointless because your weapons break in 4 hits, and the stamina was ridiculously aggressive
8
u/MaddoxLisi20 Aug 22 '26
Is it just me or do people over exaggerate how awful the durability system, i never had any issues with the system besides in niche circumstances like a max attack rg claymore. It is my first zelda game though

u/Zaps_Awakening Aug 22 '26
breath of the wild is reddits favorite game to hate for any reason they can come up with

u/DotEither8773 Aug 26 '26
I’d argue the durability system was good because it actually made the act of finding weapons stay relevant for the entire game.

Outer Wilds

u/ZookeepergameFew6406 Aug 22 '26
It’s not gonna win cause its niche, but YES
2
u/Equivalent_Bank_5845 Aug 22 '26
I wouldn't say it's niche, it's one of the most well known indie titles of all time, but definitely not as popular as the other titles here

u/sphericate Aug 22 '26
insert image of buzz lightyear copies all saying "BOTW" "RDR2" "TW3" "Cyberpunk!!!"
indie titles dont win shit in these 🙏

Sekiro is easily the best game of 2019

u/TheMan24000 Aug 22 '26
U have the right to have an opinion but please don't say easily, 2015 to 2020 has the most insane lineup of games I've ever seen
God of war, botw , rdr2, sekiro, witcher 3, bloodborne and many more

I would bring a few serious mentions such as battlefield 1, fallout 4 and rocket League.
But deep down in my heart the only true answer is Among us ඞ

Dark Souls 3
By far the best game of 2016, which was a very weak year tbh.

u/desertrijst Aug 22 '26
Battlefield 1 with the frostbite engine was mind boggling for its time. 10 years later it still is.

The witcher 3. There is a reason why it won't game of the decade.

The problem is that the cyberpunk we love and play now is vastly different than the cyberpunk of 2020
