I understand that The Game Awards is not the be all and end all. But last year’s list was The Last of Us Part 2, Ghost of Tsushima, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Doom Eternal, Hades, and Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Aside from grumblings about specific personal preferences, I don’t think anyone is particularly upset by the line-up. No one is really shocked that a huge game missed out, and while The Forgotten City might have deserved to, no one expected it to do a Hades. The reception to the GOTY list has been a shrug. This is a 700 word article about how ugly I am, I need something to reset the balance. The Forgotten City feels like a big one to overlook in a year when 12 Minutes finds itself up for Best Indie. Life is Strange: True Colors doesn’t fit a lot of categories, I guess, but I’m surprised at how few nominations it has. Even in a pretty meh year, there are some snubs that have surprised me. It’s their moment in the sun and you can’t help the year you launch into. I’m not going to dunk on the GOTY nominees, or any other games up for The Game Awards. But if my wife left me for Margot Robbie I’d understand. I’m still fun to be around, I’m nice enough. But 2021’s slate just doesn’t measure up to previous years, in the same way I don’t measure up to the beautiful people. I know developers still worked very hard this year, and I still enjoyed a lot of their games. Compared to recent years, it’s quite an ugly year, isn’t it? It’s average - better than this year, but no match for the Anya Taylor-Joy of a year that was 2020’s Hades, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Last of Us Part 2, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Doom Eternal, Genshin Impact, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and THPS 1+2. Ultimate, and Tetris Effect - it’s Margot Robbie.Ģ019 had Sekiro, Control, Luigi’s Mansion 3, The Outer Worlds, Death Stranding, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Star Wars Jedi.

2018 had Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, Spider-Man, Celeste, Super Smash Bros. Related: Does It Matter If Good Games Have No New Ideas?2017 had Breath of the Wild, What Remains of Edith Finch, Prey, Cuphead, NieR: Automata, Horizon Zero Dawn, Super Mario Odyssey, Night in the Woods, and Fortnite. It’s not a year for the history books though, and the nominees for The Game Awards show that. If every year is great then the word ‘great’ ceases to mean anything. And there have been some great games this year, just not enough of them for this to be a great year - this is where the ‘beautiful’ idea comes in. All this to say I don’t think 2021 has been a great year for games.īut what about ? You’re right, that’s a modern classic, that one. Put me in a line-up next to Taylor Swift, Margot Robbie, and Anya Taylor-Joy and tell me everybody is beautiful. I know this is true - I say this as an ugly person. Likewise, some people are ugly, some people are average, and some people are beautiful. Sure, relative to ants we are, but in general, some people are short, some people are average, and some people are tall.

My least favourite phrase in the world is that ‘everybody is beautiful’.
