Now this next game is a very special one. It’s an elect member of a very exclusive club, one with just a handful of members. This is one of the few games to have ranked in every version of our countdown dating all the way back to 2018. But just who will it be? It’s time to find out as we see your #48!

I must admit, my friends, that all this excitement is starting to get to me. I do so want to tell you who has won the title of Game of the Year for 2021 and it would be so easy to do! But that would not be fair, neither to the rest of the games that will be left behind or to the incredible goons that voted for them. We must walk this path to its conclusion and the next step is your #45.
