      Also starfield and hogwarts legacy in the top 10, lmao. This is basically just the steam awards again (ie just a popularity contest)

          Well yeah, but you’d expect that eurogamer readers have played more than 2 games all year.

            Harry potter and bethesda both have built in fanbases despite not being that relevant for the last decade-ish. I’m not very surprised they were able to make 7 and 8 on a top 50 list.

      Zelda TotK has already won GOTY from some sites, in top of my mind are IGN and Polygon, so I see no problem at all for it to be on top, Between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Zelda TotK there was no other game deserving that title this year.

      It was an amazing year for gaming and I agree that there are lots of games deserving to be mentioned in this list, but as for Game of the Year title, the only two games close enough to win it, are Zelda and Baldur’s Gate.

      It absolutely was close to top of the list. It’s basically between bg3, totk, and Alan Wake. All wildly different games and personally I enjoy mechanics focused games so for me totk was the top, sure I’m not the only one

      For real, how is totk better than bg3 from any point of view? It’s basically a rehash of botw with very little in terms of new ideas. Nintendo fanboyism is so lame.

    I’d swap 1 and 2 for me personally, but they’re both amazing games. Zelda got a little repetitive to me after a while. I didn’t want to put any more Legos together.

    Nah Baldurs Gate 3 set a new standard for an RPG. I’m sure the new Zelda was a fantastic game but I doubt a sequel for a Zelda game is gonna be as influential
