It's weird. I feel this was the best TGAs ever in terms of games being properly recognized. Almost without exception, the most-deserving nominee won for every category.
And yet I also felt like this year's TGAs were the most incredibly flat presentation and announcement-wise. Literally nothing announced excited me. Which would have been fine if this was your standard, celebratory run-of-the-mill awards show to celebrate the industry but with the majority of the awards sidebarred to Geoff rhyming off a bunch of winner names and nobody accepting anything, it wasn't that at all. A lot of great games won tonight but I feel most of the people watching at home that didn't know what these games are or brought to the table or why they should seek them out still have no clue about what makes any of them unique or special... even Sekiro. And that's a real shame.
The only award that felt like a big deal was the Indie Game of the Year award and that's 'cause Reggie made it feel like a big deal.
