Honestly I don't think they were any really good game of the year contenders but I think astrobot is good enough.

Honestly if most game devs put a lot more effort into they could have easily swept this game of the year there weren't any hard-hitting competition.

@Mr_NutterButter yeah nothing that came out this year was particularly earth shattering. Even Wukong was just "good" from what I hear. They probably had to add the DLC category to actually give a game that deserved it goty lmao.

@beardalaxy @Mr_NutterButter I very much enjoyed Unicorn Overlord. We have not had an Ogre Battle 64 like game since, well, Ogre Battle 64. The art is good too and I like how they handle the tactical gameplay with only a few exceptions.

@Jens_Rasmussen @Mr_NutterButter yeah there have been a lot of niche games that are really good. I know people liked balatro a lot. Shotgun Roulette was pretty cool, too. These things kind of just can't be goty contenders though.

My personal favorite game I've played this year is ff16 but that's been out on ps5 for a while now so it doesn't really count.
