Not bad. Looks like he used the paint brush and the eraser over and over, wasn't really sure if it would work. started the leaves on random frames to give it texture, otherwise the laurel would look flat I think. There’s probably a faster way to get the same effect.

GOTY
Elden Ring

I still haven't beaten it, and I'm not sure I ever will, I'm not that great at FromSoft games. But that doesn't really matter because even just wandering around aimlessly is pure joy. Perfectly captures the intense feeling of awe and possibility that I realized I had been missing from games for a long, long time.

Best Game from a Previous Year
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

I hadn't played this in a decade or so, it was a real treat to come back to it. Just an incredible game with a ton of complex new mechanics that somehow work really well together. And it's a great game on its own, but playing it immediately after the rest of the MGS series made the changes even more thrilling. A Kojima masterpiece.

Best Surprise
Metal Gear: Ghost Babel

I'm pissed off that I never played this when it came out, what an incredible game. Easily the best GBC game, by a long margin, and honestly pretty high on my list of best Metal Gear games altogether. Looks great, plays smoothly, and the stealth mechanics are ridiculously sophisticated for a handheld game from 2000.

Favorite IZGC Game
TimeSplitters: Future Perfect

A plot-driven FPS that doesn't take itself seriously, has comedic cutscenes that are actually funny, and the gameplay itself is like a sustained dopamine rush. Just pure fun the entire time. EDITOR'S NOTE: I kept notes for this category and my phone corrected "Timesplitters" to "Tinesplothers".

Honorable Mention: Played it a lot
Death Stranding

I'm a huge Metal Gear fan but this might be my favorite Kojima game. Utterly insane but somehow consistent sci-fi premise without any clumsy exposition, extremely compelling gameplay, full to the brim with Kojima weirdness, and the mechanic of helping out other players indirectly is really satisfying. Also a Kojima masterpiece, I love it.

Honorable Mention: Enjoyed it even though I could see big problems with it
Deathloop

Dishonored and Prey are better Arkane games in pretty much every way, but the atmosphere and time loop gimmick were fun enough to keep me engaged for a while. Not a great game, but not intolerably bad either. It's a cool core concept, and with some more mechanical depth and refinement, could have been really good.

Honorable Mention: Game I want to play more of
Xenoblade 3

This game is loving great, but I haven't had time to really dive into it at all. One of my gaming goals for 2023 will be to finish this one.

Special Impy Award
My special official Impy award goes to the brief argument in this thread about whether it was acceptable to have a separate Impy award called "The Impy"

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. My wimpy for worst game I played all year goes to Dead space 3.
What a piece of poo poo. I played it just because it was on game pass and it wasn't even worth it. It's not even good in a MST3K-laugh-at-the-bad-game kinda way, don't even bother.
