E33 is the only game to have ever made me ugly-cry, and it did it multiple times. That alone secures it a place in my personal pantheon. I didn’t love the combat system, but I will admit that’s because I have never liked JRPG systems, and I eventually grew to be okay with it. The game was a work of art and passion that we rarely ever see, and that came through.

Wow, the only games I want to see win anything are Dispatch and I guess Peak. Pretty much everything else did not click with me.

Have not played it yet, but it looks like one of those “better to watch the cutscenes on YouTube” games for me?

It’s getting made into a movie so you can probably wait for that :>

Expedition 33 is the only game on the list that isn’t a sequel or derivative of a previous IP so it’s got originality going for it :>

Different strokes for different folks and all that. I personally couldn’t stand The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, or Baldur’s Gate 3 despite them being constantly praised.

I bounced off Witcher 3 too. Watched friends play a lot of RDR2, not interested.
…BG3 was sublime though. I don’t even like D&D combat, or ‘Tolkien-esque’ fantasy, but holy hell. It’s gorgeous, it just oozes charisma, and was quite fun in coop.
