I can't believe Rarity missed their own award show because they were playing Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.

Hello, my lovelies, hello! It is so nice to see your happy faces once again (and also Zaggitz), thank you so much for making this part of your weekend. We’ve come a long way over the last month and I must take this moment to thank everyone who’s contributed to what can only be called another forum success. Yes, it’s been a fantastic thread with some fantastic lists but like your next Hades run all good things must come to their end in time and so as we stand here looking forward into a bright new year of gaming let’s take a moment to reflect back over the year that was. They called it the Year of No Games. No Games, they said! Well you proved them wrong as this year 195 goons came together to name 595 separate titles as contenders for the prestigious title of Game of the Year. That’s more goons and more games than ever before! However we must acknowledge the impact that COVID-19 had on our favourite hobby, denying us many anticipated releases as one after one they were pushed back beyond January 1st. This has affected our results with more old games featuring in our final countdown than ever before. In fact, the oldest game came out in the year 2000! That means it’s old enough to drink and vote! The boundaries between genres continue to blur as many indie developers posit the question ‘what even is a game anyway?’. This continues to bear in your picks which feature a wide array of games including crosswords, sudokus, digitally-assisted party games, a board game, a car wash simulator, two Radiohead albums, a fantasy football league and a Gilmore Girls romhack! We might not know what games are but we sure know we love to play them! Goons continued to push the boat out with their endless creativity as we saw lists with customized graphics, homemade gifs, digital art and one talented goon even submitted their vote by video. Now we don’t give awards for the best designed list round here but for all of you who flexed your skills please know that we are in awe of your abilities! But I fear that is too much waffle from me. I know why you’re really here! You want to see that top 75 countdown and find out just what was Something Awful’s Game of the Year for 2021! All will be revealed soon enough but as we go on there are some questions we must ponder.
We’ll be answering these questions and so many more but before we dive into this countdown as is custom let’s take a gander at the rest of the rest.

Here we go, friends. It’s time to start the countdown for the 2021 Game of the Year. We have 75 games to get through so settle yourselves in for a long one because this train we’re on don’t make no stops! At this point it behooves me to remind you that any ties for points have been settled with the countback rule for tiebreaker (i.e. most #1 votes then most #2 votes and so on) and with that bit of admin out of the way let’s jump right in and see the game that you voted in at #75…ShakeZula posted:Definitely one of my biggest surprises of the year. Cruiserweight posted:Achieves everything it sets out to do. Chairchucker posted:Absurdly satisfying.  (Credit for all graphics in this countdown goes to VideoGames) 75. MARVEL’S GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (Eidos-Montreal) 27 points, listed 5 times And just like that, we’re underway!

One thing I'm gonna highlight right out the gates is that this year saw a much wider point spread than previous years. When we did a top 75 two years ago it only took 19 points to get into it, this time it's almost half again as many!
