Very happy for @sim2k.bsky.social on this one. Probably the most deserved (literal) ‘phoned-in nomination’ of all time. Check the pod to hear how beautifully he described it, and how much more beautifully I read it out.
The polls across Twitter and BlueSky have now ended and we have a clear and obvious 𝖾̶𝗋̶𝗋̶𝗈̶𝗋̶ winner
With almost 50% of the votes, the 2025 game going into the Hall of Fame is, of course, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!

Didn’t think anything would disturb me more than Weapons this year, but Bring Her Back definitely knows how to deeply unsettle you. Absolutely horrific.

Gaming has lost one of its true rockstars, and in a year where his greatest achievement was back in the public consciousness. What a legend.
