[Randam]

no one watching on Era it seems :D

 

[N.47H.4N]

GOTY is Animal Crossing for sure.

 

[JayCB64]

This is well snarky this year, I'm pretty into it.

 

[B.O.O.M.]

Best story telling winner: TLOU Part 2!

Well deserved

 

[vivftp]

TLOU2 winning the best storytelling award.

[ClickyCal']

Best story indeed.

 

[Hybrid Rainbow]

Fall Guys wins Best MP Game!

 

[vivftp]

Fall Guys was a lot of fun. Congrats for taking best MP game

 

[MeltedDreams]

TLoU II 6-7 awards without a doubt.

 

[B.O.O.M.]

Fallguys deserved the MP one too imo. Love it

 

[Cess007]

Ay lmao, I can see people bursting into flames already lol

 

[vivftp]

TLOU2 taking best visual design. Hell yeah!

 

[B.O.O.M.]

Best visual design: TLOU part 2!

Man that was a TOUGH category.

Edit: personally, as much as I love TLOU2, I would have given it to Ghost

 

[ClickyCal']

🧹

 

[Madjoki]

Alyx was robbed.

 

[Luke88]

I wish Hades or Ori managed to snag the Visual Design award

 

[ClickyCal']

Really cool having this here.

 

[Deleted member 37928]

I agree with TLOU2 best story, but visual design? Hmmm... I mean, you have something like Hades on that list. It shouldn't be that hard.

Personally I would've voted for Flight Simulator though. The way they have recreated Earth in that game is nothing short of stunning.

 

[B.O.O.M.]

Best Game expansion: No Man's Sky

It has the best animations of any game so far, which is part of visuals. The facial animations are wild.

 

[Lakewell]

Lego Builders Journey actually has a cool look to it.

 

[vivftp]

TLOU2 taking best audio!

 

[B.O.O.M.]

Best Audio: TLOU part 2

SO Deserved. With headphones this game is a TRIP

 

[ClickyCal']

🧹🧹🧹

Very deserving of best audio too.

 

[Macca]

The Last of Us Part II

 

[vivftp]

TLOU2 was such an amazing all around experience. So pleased to see it doing well with all these awards.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

TLOU2 taking all awards 👀

 

[ClickyCal']

It's my GOTG and probably top 5 ever, so definitely also very happy about this.

 

[benzopil]

This is just unfair lol

Yup! I dubbed it my GOAT, surpassing the original Deus Ex. I'm eagerly anticipating part 3

 

[B.O.O.M.]

Best Indie: Hades!

 

[ClickyCal']

Congrats to Supergiant.

 

[kami_sama]

It was 100% gonna be Hades, I wanted Paradise Killer to win however. Hades for goty.

 

[BeeDog]

TLoU2 currently cleaning up like it should be.

 

[Shining Star]

Seeing The Last of Us win so much makes me lose any faith I had in critics.

I love Hades visuals, but its more about individual's taste, Part II visuals is among the best ever technically and artistically, any game winning would be deserved.
