And the Award for Most Shilled, Most Astroturfed, Most Inauthentically and Inorganically Promoted Game this year goes to...

E33! Wow who knew it was so easy to make a PS5 game using Unreal Engine 5? Even french amateurs can do it!
Now thats out of the way I need to take a moment to thank our sponsors Epic Games and Sony Playstation, what a coincidence that the companies that pay for these awards are also linked to all the winners!

DK Bananza!

e33 paid for all those reviews and influencer crowd. No way they didn't also pay for awards.
But to be fair OST is really good and way above the rest of the game.

Either AssCreed Shadows or Expedition whatever. And to think the year is barely half over, there's plenty more time for more contenders, what joy.

Indie (((darling,))) Clair Obscur!

Honestly Expedition 33. It's a good and soulful game but the overexcitement regarding it is really weird. Particularly the part where it's another poorly performing and blurry-looking UE5 mess of garbled post-processing effects, but people are letting it slide because they like the game underneath.
