[Modron]

That would be in keeping with Codex traditions, last time the shit rpg that beat KotC for 2009's RPGCodex's RPGotY was Dragon Age origins.

This is a tradition already.

Hasn't it been that way since 1987 Zed (Duke of Banville)?

 

[whocares]

I will not eat the bugs. I will not live in a pod. I will not use 2FA.

 

[barricade]

they told me the codex was a prestigious website, filled with people with good taste, a website different from reddit etc. so i expect people to vote for kotc2, right?

felipepe has been demoted from historian to poll-curator

I'll be interested to see what lil gems have slipped by me this year. Haven't heard of half these games which makes me a fucking planar-level scholar of RPGs I guess.

Awarded this post a

rating, but, as has been discussed on the Codex recently, demands on the player's physical skill are still minimal for Dungeon Master-likes, as with some other types of game with real-time combat: https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/can-an-rpg-be-real-time.145964/page-3#post-8327118

Zorbus for GOTY.

 

[Jaedar]

I played 4 games on the list. It's 2 more than I remembered.

Let's hope for a better 2023.

How do you even find these?!

It has RPG in the title?

From here probably:

Not rpg enough try this instead:

I scan http://www.whatsonsteam.com/ about once a day or every other day so I see all kinds of weird stuff.

 

[Fargus]

Codex GoTY. No contest.

Most come from Abu Antar's list, but then I also searched Steam for RPGs with more than 100 reviews. You can find some cool stuff, like Buriedbornes, a sort of free-to-play Wizardry-inspired dungeon-crawler.

whats up with font and varying letter sizes of titles in the poll?

An all block letter font, bigger ones are just capitalized.

 

[Lord_Potato]

The only rpgs from 2022 I played were:
Elex 2
Expeditions: Rome
Gave 4 to both: they're competent and fun, but far from brilliant.

 

[lukaszek]

cant wait to see the result. Judging by edgelord opinions alone, no one playz amazing gaymz with prestigious codex review on front page

 

[RobotSquirrel]

the only one I voted for was Bannerlord so that I could add that it was the worst game of the year.
I'll be honest, given how stressful last year was I didn't have a whole lot of time to play games.

 

[Infinitron]

Everybody ITT forgetting King Arthur: Knight's Tale exists.

 

[Tavar]

I only played Elden Ring (which I dropped after maybe two hours) and Persona 5 Royal from that list. I've never even heard of 90% of the titles.

 

[Harthwain]

Everybody ITT forgetting King Arthur: Knight's Tale exists.

I didn't. I voted for it myself. Pretty much the only game I bothered to buy this year. I got tired of Dark Souls before Elden Ring, so I ended up ignoring it.

From here probably:

Not rpg enough try this instead:

It's overwhelmingly positive. Also, I found Morenatsu.'s review.

Everybody ITT forgetting King Arthur: Knight's Tale exists.

I actually completely forgot that there were some decent RPGs released in 2022.

 

[felipepepe]

Personally, I think this year had some great stuff like Betrayal at Club Low, Ctrl Alt Ego, Zorbus, Elden Ring, Monter Hunter Rise, Knights of the Chalice 2 and Fear & Hunger: Termina.

I get that most of these aren't the traditional CRPG style that the Codex was built around. And more traditional stuff like ELEX 2, Weird West, Black Geyser and Expeditions: Rome fell flat. But even Knights of the Chalice 2 only got 65 reviews on Steam and 18 on GOG, despite being exactly what the Codex pretends to champion... that's extremely disappointing.

Depending on the poll results, for 2023 it might make more sense to just do a "Baldur's Gate 3 x Rogue Trader" poll.
