2017: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

the year before the little walking sim upset it, and honestly this one's aged the better of the two

2018: What Remains of Edith Finch

tiny walking sim beating a AAA blockbuster's own sequel year, and it deserved it

2019: God of War

2020: Outer Wilds

worth the hours just for the ending, but I won't spoil which one

2021: Hades

2022: Returnal

skip the tutorial? no, this game punishes you if you don't learn the pattern early

2023: Vampire Survivors

a five dollar game beating everything else that year still feels like a heist

2024: Baldur's Gate 3

swept basically every award that season, this was the one nobody argued with

2025: Astro Bot

2026: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

a first game from a tiny french studio. worth the hours doesn't even cover it
