Very surprised Kirby landed so high. Maybe I should take a look at it!

Thanks for putting all this together, MMX! Will you reveal placements for some games that missed the top 25?

Edit: oops you've said you will. Uhhh OK let's see how my predix did. Immortality, Bayonetta 3, Rogue Legacy 2?
Honestly its my honor too, I'll never forget the horror story where Bayonetta 2 should have won Game Awards goty but the Time Magazine and New York Times reps refused to let it happen because it was 'embarassing' so they went with Dragon Age Inquistion because they had no choice. And that always seemed....shitty to me

Developed by HAL

Kirby Battle Royale (Did not rank in 2017)
Kirby: Planet Robobot (#19 in 2016)
Kirby & The Rainbow Curse (#36 in 2015)
Kirby Triple Deluxe (#40 in 2014)

Nothing makes me happier to announce this placing. Kirby has always been around but in recent years his spotlight has grown and its only fitting for the first game he truly goes 3D that he breaks out and in half the years I've done this Kirby would have come out as a winner. What Forgotten lands delivers are some of the best designed stages in ages backed up by amazingly fun powers and enough unique challenges the game never drags.

Sekiro Shadows Die Twice (#5 in 2019)
Dark Souls 3 (#3 in 2016)
Bloodborne (#3 in 2015)
Dark Souls 2 (#11 in 2014)

The long rumored collab of FromSoft and George RR Martin finally hit this year and it took the world by storm. If a regular Souls game was a metroidesque landscape leading to some cinematic and nasty bosses to kill you. Elden Ring is an open world of bosses, more bosses, an more bosses. It took years but finally a Souls game cracks thru and takes the top spot. If you removed all record breaking 18 first place votes this game got fully it still beats Kirby by a single point.

#3 Vampire Survivors (Xbox/PC/Mobile)
Developed by Poncle

There were only two indie games that really were constantly discussed in 2022 and this is one of them. Vampire Survivors is a bullet hell rogue like that costs a mere few dollars and will constantly have you telling yourself "ok just one more run". As you get more and more upgrades, more and more baddies flood the screen. Chaos is the name of this game, also achievements. Man there is a lot to achieve here.

#4 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
Developed by Tribute Games

Cowabunga! The Turtles see Streets of Rages top 10 performance from a few years ago and do even better. But like SoR4, Turtles gets here with ZERO #1 votes! Much like Stray, Turtles ends up remaining a topic of discussion well after the initial burst of players. The actual game feels like a seamless followup to TMNT 4 Turtle in Time without making sacrifices. An easy way to see how well this game did is just look at the stumble the new Battletoads was a few years ago.

Developed by Monolith Soft

Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (#11 in 2020)
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (#17 in 2017)
Xenoblade Chronicles X (Did Not Place in 2015)

Steadily growing on these lists with each entry and increased Smash support, Xenoblade has settled in as a household name. Taking place after the first two games this game sure features lots of the same stuff from the other games. Mechanics wise the big draw is your giant 7 person party and the ability to change classes. If you liked the others then you'll enjoy this.

Pokemon Ultra Moon/Sun (#24 in 2017)

I don't think we will ever see two Pokemon entries back to back on a Goty list ever again. So what if we kept the classic battle system, but took away the forced linear route of the game? Scarlet/Violett has a forced intro chapter but after that it lets you run out into the wild. Chasing gym leaders, titan pokemon, or taking down the evil team...this time you choose the order and how you want to approach it. The world is yours and there are mysteries to solve. The game has taken a ton of heat from the internet but like other games on this list the content has driven gamers to stay with it.

Stray's advantage is appearing on a ton of lists because so many people played it, even if it didn't rank super high on many. Ragnarok placing so low is pretty surprising though, especially with how well it's been selling and how good the reception's been for the most part.
Stray took many 2nd 3rd and 4ths
God of War was very boom or bust on lists

An experiment in a new direction, Game Freak gave us an open world and instead of just having us in a small area where we touch pokemon to fight out. Suddenly we had options how to approach and carry out the mission of catch em all. Pokemon act like real creatures here, some are there to pose cute, others run away, and others want you to just freaking die. The game suffers from some bland graphics and frame rate issues but these seem to be largely forgiven for the content it provides.

#8 Tunic
Developed by Andrew Shouldice

When Tunic was first shown off I immediately pointed to my screen like Leonardo Dicaprio in that meme and yelled "I see original language is this a fez in disguise?!". What is Tunic? It's a love letter to the days of old gaming without smashing your face in faux 8 bit graphics. The game starts you off with nothing and says go, explore the world, learn about the world and begin your journey. Actually it doesn't even say that. How you learn to play Tunic is all related to piecing together an old NES style manual thats only partly translated and has personalized notes to assist you. From there its a dive into the unknown and Dark Souls combat as you try to find out what's next.

#9 Stray
Developed by BlueTwelve Studio

You are cat. Meow. In a realm of simulators, one studio took that concept and wrapped a sci fi story and world around it. They could have easily just made the game about sleeping in odd positions or climbing on some counters but instead wrapped a stealthy science fiction and a world of mystery after luring you in. The fact many people came out of this game liking it beyond the gimmick speaks for its quality.

Past Games
God of War (#2 in 2018)

Dad Boy 2: Thor's Revenge! The game that started as a DLC expanded to a full on adventure. It got a ton of praise but I think in some way launching against Sonic may have stolen some points it would have scored. Ragnarok still performs really well and is likely to be a game remembered for years to come but the games above it just had a lot more momentum and push.

Sonic Mania (#8 in 2017)
Sonic Forces (#31 in 2017)
Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed (#20 in 2012)
Sonic Generations (#14 in 2011)

A lot of times the internet just gets its head wrapped around ways to cancel games, slam them, or outright cause a panic. Sometimes it makes sense and other times the internet misses the mark and backs games before release that are huge flops. Sonic Frontiers is a different feeling game but what Sega does is they delivered a really fun experience. Is it the best of the year? No that's why it fell around here for ranking but it delivers a start to finish experience that makes you want to keep coming back for more. Which is a feeling Sonic has struggled to capture consistently since entering the 3d landscape. Even choices like a super simplistic fishing game work out as a breather between the speeding around.

With the addition of Friend Vs Friend coming soon its only bound to grow even more.

Developed by Angel Matrix

You are the titular Neon White, a dead assassin in a first person shooter card game platformer. Yeah its a moutful. Each level might be around a minute long but its a game that encourages you to run, rush, and speedrun its levels. You get thru these stages by picking up cards that have two functions, the first being your guns, the second is the ability to discard cards to use for mobility. Mastering this is the key to its flow and function.

Square Enix has been on a tear of bringing over games of old but also giving major respect to games like Seiken Densetsu 3/Trials of Mana the proper fanfare it deserves. This year they hit us with the first time officially localized Live A Live. You play through various scenarios based on very typical genres (Horror, Anime, Western, etc) and then the deeper you go the real magic of the game starts to unveil itself.

Honestly this might be the first time any Lego game has done so well but that's typically what happens when a beloved franchise goes dark for a few years. It worked for Ass Creed so why not Lego? What fans got wasn't what was originally promised (you can read interviews that they scoped this game too big) but what they got was a gorgeous love letter to Star Wars covering all three trilogies and littered worlds with stuff to do. Seriously the collect-a-thon levels make DK64 jealous.

This years voters: Board 8, The Ace of Games Channel on B8 Discord Sponsored by Shine, iateyourpies discord, Retroachievements, My discord, Swap Race Discord, and TrueTrophies Discord

Facts
Board 8 was the top voting place this year
Less ballots this year than last

Goty historically from these results
2011: Batman: Arkham City
2012: Halo 4
2013: Grand Theft Auto V
2014: South Park: The Stick of Truth
2015: Fallout 4
2016: Overwatch
2017: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2018: Spider-Man
2019: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
2020: Final Fantasy VII Remake
2021: Metroid Dread

How each entry will go from #25 to #1
Example from last year
#23 Forza Horizon 5 (X1/XSX/PC)
Developer: Playground Games
Forza Horizon 4 (#9 in 2018)
Forza Horizon 3 (No Votes in 2016)
Forza Horizon 2 (#24 in 2014)
Forza Horizon (#16 in 2012)

Forza Horizon hits Mexico and is jam packed with as much content as 4 has. It even has the tallest elevated driveable location in the game, a volcano! Horizons in a strange place where gamers might not be as impressed as much anymore by the amazing locales and jam packed racing sandbox as before. Or maybe its become an every two iterations thing that everyone ooos and ahhhs.


Get those predictions in! Any comments welcome

Retirements
People leave the game every year but some of these retirements really can rock a team for years. The Colts may never recover from Andrew Luck retiring at this rate for instance.

HB Frank Gore: Officially the Gore really retired a few years ago with one of those I could still come back but alas the Gore finally stopped running

TE Rob Gronkowski: I'm going to be honest i really thought Gronk would have come out of retirement randomly this season. His second retirement seems to be sticking though despite how 'bored' the Gronk is at home. He was on FOXs program for a bit but honestly haven't kept up if hes still on it. They were trying out him, Vick, and Sanchez at one point this year.

HB Todd Gurley: I still remember all the hype around Todd Gurley, we even had Gurley action figures at Gamestop. But he sputtered out fast with the Rams, did a 1 year stint with Atlanta then just faded away.

SS Malcolm Jenkins: Jenkins served on both the NO and PHI Superbowl teams and had a good career for both teams. Earlier this season Jenkins expressed interest in helping the Eagles when their safeties went down but hes under the Saints contract still and doesn't seem like he really wanted to help them out.

LB Clay Matthews III: Clay randomly declared his retirement after two years of uh being out of the league. He has come to regret his 1 year Ram stint and I imagine many one team players that do a fill in year elsewhere likely feel that

QB Ben Roethlisberger: Its hard to believe after losing to Green Bay the Steelers just spent a literal decade getting round 1 or 2 bounced from the playoffs. Whats even stranger is multiple times Ben looked cooked then came back looking better versus say an Eli Manning that once he fell off was just done.

Short commentaries for other retirees:
G Richie Incognito: Remember Bullygate?
LB Ryan Kerrigan: Longterm menace, stole final year
Jay Ajayi: Somehow the missing piece for the Eagles and never again relevant
Kiko Alonso: Dirty hitter
Danny Amendola: Concussions, Deep Catches, Kay Adams, Fox reality
Blake Bortles: One magical post season, one great sitcom joke
Brandon Brooks: Top player, legs of glass
Ha Ha Clinton Dix: Behind the Laughter a short career
Ryan Fitzpatrick: The magic ran out, the beard is forever, enjoyable commentator
Joe Haden: The AFC North remembers
Bilial Powell: Always a Jet, somehow 8th most yards
Emmanuel Sanders: Short, fast, and lasted a decade
Delanie Walker: the slowest TE I've ever seen
James White: Career high 400 yards, 3 time champ

Next time: Free Agency / Trades, a look back

Reffing

Every year we hear this narrative week 1 or 2 about what the refs are cracking down on. Some years we are lucky and its helmet to helmet or a horse caller tackle. Other years they make us question what is a catch, and how soft you must sack a QB...but this year was a bunch of false start penalties that really slowed the game to a crawl in early weeks.

Overall many games still felt like it was a battle between Team A, Team B, and Team Zebra. It really was a coin flip if the ref on that particular play was patient enough to let a play fully play out during a fumble. The Eagles Commanders matchup was particularly questionable when the ref just let Dallas Goedert get his facemask yanked as he was also being poked in the eye.

I'll spare us from the Roughing the Passer calls this year, no they weren't better but I've long given up hope this will ever get fixed as it gets worse every year.

Rules
In the postseason only, both teams are assured of one possession in overtime, even if the first team with possession scores a touchdown. This change was made in response to several recent playoff games in which the first team to possess the ball in overtime scored a touchdown and the other team did not have a chance to respond.

Yea this one had to happen. As we enter the playoffs I don't think nfl fans would tolerate a repeat of last year. A quick but necessary fix

Made permanent a 2021 experimental rule change to limit the receiving team on kickoffs to no more than nine players in the "set-up zone" (the area between 10 and 25 yards from the kickoff spot).

Return TDs are down, we only had 6 this year and two were literally in the final week of the year. But injuries on returns are seemingly down. This is not a stat anyone can chase down but we went from hearing about the constant injury weariness of returns to well not hearing about them at all.

There were also changes to how rostering works and the Tua Concussion Crisis Protocol but I'm not getting into that. The latter is pretty yikes still with how its handled. We are getting closer to better regulation but not fast enough

Next up: Retirements
