Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is IGN’s game of the year, with Baldur’s Gate 3 as the close second.

    The only reason I wish it was BG3 would be for the industry to know there is absolutely still a market for these kind of games. At the same time I think they realize that now anyway. It will be interesting to see the uptick in that game type over the next 3-5 years.

      The industry knows. There were articles about how the game scared everyone because it was released finished and it’s fun.

        “Finished”

        Edit: to anyone downvoting. I’m playing the game with my partner on ps5. It has been fun, but now we are in act 3 and the game crashes every time she joins the game. The solution I have found is if I return to the camp and then let her join, it works. That’s why it’s not a “finished” game for me.

      After the layoffs, it’s clear that the studio doesn’t care about their devs or the industry, for that alone Baldur’s Gate doesn’t deserve the win.

        Larian didn’t lay anyone off. Hasbro, a completely different company, laid people who worked on DnD and MTG off at WotC.

        It wasn’t the studio that laided people off.

    They both deserve it, imo.
    I hope there’s more CRPG goodness on the way, and I hope the next Zelda is another departure in a different direction.

      BoTW started something fresh and imo ToTK perfected it. It is my game of the year, but I hope the next game is a departure.

    What!? Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t win. Who saw that one coming?
