Some indie games looked okay this contest. Most did not. The Stanley Parable was one of the many, many, many games in this contest that functioned as early round fodder for the heavy hitters, because the two per series cap meant for some incredibly obscure entrants. I will say though that I looked into every game at least a little bit to prep for these writeups, and The Stanley Parable legitimately looks interesting. The preview makes it look like Portal: The Office Version, and it even looks like it was done in whatever engine Half-Life 2 was made on. I might check it out at some point.

It was also up against Fallout: New Vegas, meaning it had zero chance whatsoever and functioned as a standard happy-to-be-here low seed. If we pretend Octopath Traveler and Mario Kart 8 never happened, and that match against Undertale was a very special case, did you know the lowest seed to win a match in this contest was 10? It's true. Look it up. We only had two major seeding upsets this year.

There was some minor debate surrounding New Vegas vs Dark Souls 3 in round 2, but that was put to bed fairly quickly when the round 1 results came in. New Vegas was the clear favorite, as it should have been. Dark Souls 3 happened long after that series jumped the shark (it came after Bloodborne, which is just the better game in every single possible way, so Dark Souls 3 felt like a step backwards), while New Vegas is often described by Fallout fans as being the ''real'' Fallout 4. Those people absolutely loathe Bethesda, Fallout 4, and obviously Fallout 76 -- but New Vegas, they're all in on. It showed with how well it did in this contest.
