I voted Diablo 4 because it is the only game on that list that I have played.

Also 2023?!

Yes. Did you not pay attention to the previous polls here or those rusty ran on codex? The 1 year wait is to reduce recency bias and give people a chance to play the games that came out near the end of the year.

Whoever votes for Lunacid should get his account suspended for about 24h. To play Lunacid, of course.

It is though, you make build decisions with your available spell schools. You interact with npc factions by doing quests or attacking them. You equip your units/heroes with items/runes/demonic possession. Your build can be shit or completely broken given enough game knowledge and effort.

There is even hints of romance

Totally an rpg, go play it

There is no perfect way of voting. I'm considering ranked voting for the future, so we can use the votes to generate different results and get angry at each other for different outcomes :voting:

Circuit is the worst race. Sprint is a nice scenic route, Drag is high-octane gear-shifting action, Drift is very fun.
Circuit is just running in circles for way too long. Boring.

If we exclude the first place game(c'mon, everyone knew this), we have an interesting three-way tie right now. :voting:

What a rough-looking list. Lots of brutally bad writing, barely a single jrpg worth digging into. BG3 had the best combat, but I won't vote for it because of all the gay shit.

So then we move on to games that I liked, but that shouldn't really be in the GOTY running. I had a lot of fun with lords of the fallen so that gets an easy vote. I also loved The Last Spell for quite a while, but it had an update that ruined character stats/builds so it only gets a lukewarm vote. Octopath Traveler was fun for a while but ran out of steam and I didn't quite finish it but I would still give it the nod over any Legend of Overwrought Worldbuilding Slop game.
