For the first 2/3rds I assumed this monster was the MH equivalent of an Ortolan and you were hiding your face from God.

For the last 3rd, I can only assume that is the MH equivalent of God.

My friends, we have made it to the top 5 so I think it’s time for me to stop beating around the bush. Mere moments separate one game from immortality so it’s time we got serious. Your runners and riders are Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, Metroid Dread, Psychonauts 2 and *checks notes* Disco Elysium and Hades??? Err, you know they’ve already won this thing right? Well, be it not for me to judge. They are both fine games to be certain but do they have the pedigree to go all the way or for one of these games is this the last gasp? Less than ten points separate 5th from 3rd so the margins couldn’t be any tighter! Here’s what you picked as your #5…

Once I realized that SMTV and Hades shared a lot of similar story beats it made me more favorable to the former
