That's a slightly funny imagine but so skewed cause you can take any image from any game and do that.
On topic: I didnt know they were so close to be closed. I always thought of them as a Sony staple developer. God of War 1-3 were highly ranked and highly successful games. I know Ascension didnt set the world on fire but I didnt think after one (Average) game it would be grounds for a closure.
I'm personally very torn between GOW and Red Dead 2 as my personal game of the year. GOW was the first one of its franchise I played through completion and just adored, from the story to the combat and the look of the game, it's almost a masterpiece.
Yet on the other hand Red Dead 2 is also a huge achievement. From the moment the game starts, its flooring on how beautiful and meticulously everything is. I haven't beat it yet, I think I'm at the end of chapter 4 but boy the story is finally picking up.
Either way, I can't disagree with either of those two games for GOTY!
