Well, my lovelies, what a journey we have been on! We started oh so many hours ago with 75 games and after much excitement and much despair we have whittled those names all the way down to the final two. In the one corner stands Metroid Dread. The surprise contender, the one we never expected to play. In the other stands Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker. The behemoth, the giant, the one that may have peaked at exactly the right time. One is about to know the bitter sting of failure. One will walk away forever etched in history. We’ll find out who has won your 2021 Game of the Year in just a moment but before we do we must see who you chose to be your #2…

It can't be overstated how much they nailed the controls here.

This game has what old games magazines called "good controls".

The pacing in this game is absolutely brilliant, it's impossible to get bored.

When it comes down to it there is a good reason why they are called Metroidvanias and not Castlevaniatroids.

That's it, that's all I got. Play Dread.





2. METROID DREAD
(MercurySteam)
388 points, listed 59 times, #1 6 times


Despite a terrible start Metroid Dread still turned it all around to collect the most list nominations and finish in a very healthy second place. If only it hadn’t had such a poor start perhaps it could have kept up with our #1. We’ll see that game in a moment but first let’s celebrate the grand return of Samus to our consoles!

Metroid Dread is such a loving brilliant and fantastic game. Such great movement and design, some amazing controls and abilities. It may have been short but every second of it just felt perfect and was a joy. Very well-deserved.
