There was a better game released this year(though it technically also released on 2019), but congrats to SG! I've been a fan since Transistor. Sometimes I still listen to the tracks with Ashley Barrett.
I mean, ACNH had its time in the sun but I think a lot of people became disillusioned with the game over time. I spent several hundred hours with it and it was great for the early months of quarantine, but the underwhelming post-launch support and them not putting out substantial QoL fixes for the game's flaws soured a lot of people on the game and look back on it less favorably. Also doesn't help that 2020 was just loaded with great games. It was always going to be an uphill battle for AC to win GOTY even with its popularity. Especially with Hades getting so much momentum.
AC could be much better with a few QOL additions they just ignore :(
Definitely a great game, but I thought Risk of Rain 2 was more fun to play as far as roguelikes (Also had a killer soundtrack.) Hades has a great narrative and story structure though, I'll give it that. Wish I could somehow merge the two experiences together, then it'd be game of the year. Congrats to Hades nonetheless. It has no real faults and is a very well rounded game.
Well-deserved. Nice to see a game that isn't just "let's ruminate on violence for the seven millionth time" win.
Hades is one of those games that is basically near-flawless from a design standpoint. You might dislike what it's trying to do, but it definitely fully achieves what it's going for. Definitely a masterpiece and well deserving of this award
To them Hades is just getting awards because "obligatory indie game"
(Not trying to instigate fights or anything, just explaining)
That's because it isn't winning everywhere , the game is getting a lot of GOTYs but TLOU2 is still the 1st place by a good margin, then you can understand why it wont at TGA, although Hades also deserves the prize in my opinion(both are my GOTY).

Well-deserved! Though I have mixed feelings about how this put SG on the map when I feel like Transistor is a superior product by far. Then again I actually did spend 60 hours playing it despite it being a genre I despise so that definitely speaks to the sheer quality of its execution.
It's really fun at first. Once you get good enough beat Hades the game becomes a cakewalk though. I cleared it four or five times in a row even with upping heat levels and just put it down.
Do you mean the end where you defeated the final boss for the first time or the actual end where the story was resolved?
But i thought the public hated it and returned it?
I thought only paid critics liked it. Why does it keep winning public voted awards?
/s
Good for hades! Hopefully it comes to consoles soon...
high key happy part 2 won the people's choice too!

Ayyyy
Hades is great and is a fairly unique take on the rogue-like genre. They earned the hell out of a GOTY, nominations and an award itself.

if you take out the cinematic part, the games that get the most awards every year are 3rd person action adventure games (which includes zelda). that's also going to be the case this year, but i'm just happy that finally the big sites are giving the award to a game in another genre.
The greatest game since BotW.
It's just.. one of those games that stand above everything else.
I think it comes down to what the critics play.
Disco Elysium won best RPG against Outer Worlds on TGA, but only the later runned for GOTY lol
Just the end where I defeat the final boss for the first time. I just didn't feel like doing more runs after that.
Huh, interesting. I feel like I've barely seen TLOU2 mentioned as a serious GOTY contender at least in most of the outlets I follow.
Oh ok. Well that's not the end, just so you know. There's a pretty big story to uncover after that. :)
