Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children and The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk are better games than any proper CRPG released in 2020.

Troubleshooter is a turn-based party-based tactics game that combines well-designed combat mechanics with an intricate character customization system, although the characters themselves are pre-defined. There is no exploration, with each mission taking place on a battlefield that constitutes a separate zone, but it adds extensive character customization/progression RPG elements to equipment and inventory. Dungeon of Naheulbeuk is similar, in being a turn-based party-based tactics game with well-designed combat mechanics and a skill/perk tree for each character (also pre-defined). Unlike Troubleshooter, it presents a pretense of exploration, with the dungeon existing as a large environment in which the player actually moves the party in real-time in between fights, but there is little to do outside combat and no real logistics or puzzles. Both games are fundamentally tactics games with the addition of character progression/customization, and therefore fall into the hybrid genre often referred to (erroneously) as SRPGs.

Such polls should be done in September of the next year. Pointless now unless you just want the opinion of no-life D1Pers.

Even if Vagrus was on there it wouldn't stand a chance. Its nifty here and there (mostly the setting imho) but GOTY.. no.

LoL goty no for sure,the codex is very casual when it comes to goty voting. Still i am super hyped for the game,it has amazing setting and world. As for goty2021 the codex will most likely pick Baldur's miscarriage 3 from larian's shithole. Still there will enough of competition for the real first place once we cut out the casuals with bg3. A lot of promising games should come out in 2021.

Although I haven't even finished it, there's only one game from the list I played, so it wins by default.
Ah, the beauty of polls :D .

Where is Divinity Original Sin 3 ? is it so bad it doesn't count ?

edit: Okay, the game still in early access, so weird how can people buy and review the game on steam and GOG when the game still unfinished and in development.

I didn't play any of those fucking games. Either way, that list looks like absolute shit. The state of gaming is sad.

For the most part I'm years behind when it comes to playing shit, so the only game I played on that list is Cyberpunk. So it wins! For the record I don't think Cyberpunk is some amazing thing, but I do think it's probably the best open world checklist follow the marker game I've played, and the Deus Ex style stealth gameplay is pretty satisfying.

It will be a tradition until we again have worthwhile RPGs that are acclaimed by the Codex.

At which point, I'll create an image stating "RPG IS THE NEW RPG" +M

Cyberpunk's got 19%, second place so far. What did I fucking tell you?

"The game will come out, itll be underwhelming and [you retards] will still vote it GotY."
