GTAV, for reasons that will be outlined later, is the biggest headache of this contest. Round 1 is a gimme, but afterwards...

While it did poorly in the final GotY poll, I think Cuphead is a game that managed to break the indie glass ceiling. It's still very well-regarded, to the point where it's one of the only indie games to be represented in Smash Ultimate. XCOM 2 wasn't as strong as the original and I wouldn't take the original here either. It's not from a genre GameFAQs cares about a lot.

Expected Result
Cuphead > XCOM 2
61 - 39
