As much as I'd love to stay up for the rest of the countdown, it's already approaching 1:30am here in Aus so I'm bowing out.

Thank you Rarity and VG for all your efforts in making this the most wonderful thread every year, looking forward to catching up on the results after some sleep!

It’s a big stumble for one of last year’s top 10 entries as 13 Sentinels falls almost all the way out of the countdown!

It's difficult for a game to have staying power when it's impossible to discuss drat near anything about it without major spoilers. Honestly surprised it ranked at all. It's extremely good though and goons should play it.

If there’s anything to say about the goon gaming community it’s that we are known for our alternative tastes. Every year these countdowns produce a collection of games that you will never see anywhere else. Some may call us hipsters, some may call us connoisseurs, we just say we know what games we like. So with that said which special and unique game did you vote in at #70?

I liked the one game I played of Fortnite recently. Especially because it was seemingly all bots and I won

It's an Atlus game, who have a spotty track record of porting anything to PC. It's on PS4 and Switch.

As any true GOTY aficionado knows, it’s not the game that comes first that really matters. No, the truest prize, the truest achievement is this one right here. This is the game you voted in at #69…
