Topic: Game of the Year: 2026

Please can GTA6 have underwhelming reviews, it would be so funny.

2026 has been such an embarrassment of riches...... and despite the industry itself being pretty tumultuous, the wealth of quality output has really been great IMO.

My top 5 (so far!) keeps shifting but currently it sits with:

#1 Order of the Sinking Star (puzzle game from Jonathan Blow, gentleman behind Braid & also The Witness)
#2 Zero Parades
#3 Ocarina of Time
#4 Phantom Blade Zero
#5 Saros

I'm not a huge GTA-lover, but of course I'll be grabbing it.. expect it will definitely worm its way in to my top 5. Curious to see where everyone sits, and the big surprises they may have had?

NB. Pokopia, Resi9, Mewgenics, Mina the Hollower, Nioh3, Mixtape were other games I had a lot of fun with this year

@UpsideDownRowlet Not a chance, even if the game is legitimately terrible it will review with 8/10s or better just on copium alone
