Games for Impact: Wanderstop. This is a game that wasn't talked about nearly enough and likely never will.

Outside that, Peak deserves it. Hades 2 easily the best action. NMS still deserves praise cause they won't stop. And Lego Party is severely underrated

Audio Design: Battlefield 6 and it isn't even close. The sound of the warzone around you is beyond immersive.
Best Debut Game: Blue Prince. I still haven't even played it and this game changed how people view video games and puzzles.
Best Independent Game: Silksong. E33 has enough awards, Silksong.

That's not to say the games didn't have scary elements or survival elements up through 4. But RE was never all horror. That belong to games like Silent Hill, Alone in the Dark, and other horror classics. Im just so tired of the rose tinted gatekeeping dumbasses

Newsflash, the games have always been this level of corny B movie nonsense since the beginning. It never was JUST THE ZOMBIES. RE1 had giant snake, giant plant monster, giant shark. RE2 had Mr. X, Lickers, Giant Alligator. RE3 had Nemesis.

I'm feeling less and less sore too! But it's so clear my upper body is the weakest. Which makes me sad as I used to work in construction. It also makes me super determined to keep it up

Right. I do think though there is legal grounds for going after a company that turned off a game without there being a EULA or some transparency on initial purchase that said that there is the possibility the ability to use said product would be void.

Games that never got a "sunset" that I feel cheated and miss them terribly; Wildstar, Virtual Magic Kingdom, Pirates of the Carribean Online, and Battleborn. Yes communities and mods took care of some of these games, but no official support means they can still die anytime.

I end this with I love what SKG is trying to do. I hate the fact that we need these definitions in place, and it sucks knowing all my Steam games aren't technically mine that I own. But this type of business on all fronts from DRM to service model games needs to be in big bold letters on the pages.
