I know you’re joking but I kinda feel like this should be the case? For example, I still don’t know what Best Direction refers to. But I feel like Tears of the Kingdom should have won in the sense that it takes incredible direction and team with a mind-bogglingly unified vision to be able to nail those emergent mechanics with nary a bug.
Why don’t we have a category for Best Platformer? Best Turn-Based RPG? Or heck, just Most Innovative Game Mechanics? Also I’m still iffy about Dave The Diver being in the indie category at all.
Anyway, despite my misgivings with the award ceremony itself, I still am glad about Baldur’s Gate 3 getting the win and the recognition. We need more love for CRPGs.
