What didn't you like about it?
Very right on wasn't it. They didn't even bother mentioning which genre a game was, but they sure as shit made sure the reason the game was being mentioned was on there. Representashun.
TotK being top I can actually get on board with. Stuff like Cocoon being anywhere near, less so

I read all the Giant Bomb ones each year and I always find 1-2 games that completely went under my radar that I love.
Fruit Mystery first came to me from a GOTY list and by god that game.
