This week, it’s Alan Wake 2, which has released and scored an 89 on Metacritic, a tick below a 90, but a 92 if you’re looking on PC where its visuals can be maxed to their fullest.

Instead of a zelda game, they gave us mid legos and 10 fps. I dont understand how anyone thought it was playable.

Its an expansion for botw, at best.

Not being playable is a bit extreme, it's just boring and tedious, and steps back on its extreme design choices of the predecessor

To me, the stutters down to single-digits made it unplayable. Good for those that perservered?

If you want to disqualify games for quest-breaking glitchiness at launch, BG3 gets disqualified before TotK does.

Meh, BG3 was playable for me. It might be a case of simply being able to throw more power at it, but im indifferent to the why.

At least I could experience one of the games.

Not sure BG3 is my GOTY either, but i dont work in the industry anymore so dont really need to be concerned with it.
