Stalker 2 on an RPG list...
Veilguard, of course.
Outcast 2 is like a 3/10 game, how low can somebody's standards be to putting it in any kind of top tier list?
ZZZ and WW are extra offensive, that shit is pure eye candy with a casino ductaped to it. Not even getting into how shallow and badly designed both are.

Their entire thread about SMTV consists of five posts. What an absolute garbage heap of a website.

Important piece of information:
Most Watchers voted for None this time. This shows that 2024 was a year of weaker AAA releases and the indie-devs and modders (Fallout London) took advantage of their chance.

The votes of the editors were too varied, so that no game could be marked as Editors' Choice.
So that's basically a list of all "RPGs" that came out last year, most of those titles probably had zero votes. RPG Watch continues to be a joke.

The Thaumaturge below Veilguard is cold. It isn't going to top any GOTY lists but it was decent enough that I'll check out future similar games from the studio while Veilguard seems to have even disappointed some of the people with low enough standards to enjoy Andromeda.

Gacha stuff.

ZZZ I tried, didnt like. Its goofy and fast paced and feels like "hip" anime from the 2010s. I also didnt care much for the gameplay loop, just constantly fighting in arenas. The action manages to feel awful, your weapon is a wet noodle and your enemies are made out of steel, and thats at the start of the game, I imagine it gets worse.

Wuthering waves is a very fast paced action game set in an open world, you play as chad jesus in a doomed setting. It also features very solid parkouring and a huge world to take advantage of it. Ive always said that the quality of an open world can be measured by how you get around it, and this game gets full marks on it.
On the narrative side, most characters are hot women of some description that are 5 minutes away from throwing their wet panties at you. It is actually one of the better games of the year. Beyond that, its not too interesting, but it does give you the option to skip dialogue, so theres that.

Do they actually know how a leading board works?

Geneforge 19th with 40 titles before it?
