Returnal is getting too many GOTY awards. I'm afraid for a mass suicide event on GAF. Also, best visuals:

I doubt anyone really cares. It's up for grabs. Nothing stood out for me.

Oh, trust me. People do care. I can't be bothered to look for those posts, but people here did mention they would do all sorts of radical self-harm if Returnal won any GOTY awards (back in April).

 

[Rivet]

My game of the year too. A very unique sci-fi world with an intriguing atmosphere and incredible visuals, audio and haptics. More than anything else, it's extremely satisfying to play.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

The right choice

 

[Mr Hyde]

Best game in 2021 alongside Dread. An incredible gameplay experience with tight and tense combat encounters, and an off the wall audiovisual presentation that knocked my socks off. Hats off to Housemarque for this special gem of a game. Looking forward to what's next in store.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Sony is a walking corpse.

 

[Damigos]

I like this list more than TGAs'

Its in my top 3 of the year and gameplay wise its really addictive and awesome.
Not including Death Stranding because that was released before, RE8 was my GOTY

On this occasion, a little riddle:

He swings from thread to thread, take a look overhead,
soon he may end up...


...mad

 

[Kokoloko85]

Another 3rd person Walking sim by Playstation winning game of the year lol

 

[tommib]

Well played, man!

 

[CZY]

Meh. First real "next gen" game I played I guess. That's something.

 

[MikeM]

Just started playing it today and I'm blown away by it. Dualsense, sound quality, gameplay and presentation are the best I have experienced so far.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Well played, man!

I forgot to mention "cinematic". Playstation only does story driven 3rd person walking sims right lol?

 

[Hoppa]

Big props to Housemarque

I love the diversity. Sony conquered sad dad games last gen, now they are conquering sad mom games. Whew the range

 

[Captain Toad]

Finally, someone got it right.

yup

Sue him then.

I'll win in the court of public opinion, my stance on Returnal is well known.

 

[Gaelyon]

Well i didn't play any of those 15 games. But Returnal is on my list, i just need to finish Judgement before Elden Rings came out.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Me neither, my GOTY is blue reflection second light.
It's mildly interesting to read what normals play though.

 

[kingfey]

Where the fuck is Ascent?

This is what it would look like on 1st mode.


The game was roped. This list is rigged.

 

[T0minator]

One is all we need!

Perfect excuse to post a video I made of this great game. Housemarque we're looking forward to what youve got for us next!

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Awesome to see Housemarque getting the recognition they deserve.

After putting out Returnal, I can't wait to see what they make next.

 

[tommib]

Seriously now, how many awards for Returnal? 8? Are we counting genre awards?

 

[Umbasaborne]

 

[TonberrysKnife]

At first I wasn't sold when I played it. An hour later, this game grew on me like a vine. The ambient music, combat, visuals and slick uses on the controller kept me in the game. Returnal isn't easy but damn it makes you wanna go back for more and more. Well deserved.

Imagining the next Housemarque game using UE5 with a bigger budget from Sony

 

[Jim Ryan other Clone]

Very good game with some awesome gun gameplay, sometimes unfair but good experience. I hope there were more configuration of your build and more control over your build and not completely random.
Buy overall fun game to spent some hours killing strange aliens.

 

[Hobbygaming]

Give me more Selene, Returnal is addicting

 

[Max_Po]

picked it up for 59.96 CDN ... getting my arse kicked...

 

[Nikana]

I like that list quite a bit minus Halo Infinite.

 

[Darchaos]

Ez win, what did they even have to compete with? X-Boxers? Nintendo? Omegalul

Kidding, its just nice to be on a forum and mess around, like with youre sisters or brothers. This is not Era, and that is so fucking good! Love ya all!
