Best of this decade so far?
Vote
The Championship bout started close, but halfway through there would be zero doubt that Samus had it in the bag. Resident Evil Village is a great game, but Metroid Dread delivered a convincing performance to win 30-17 and become Board 8's 2021 Game of the Year! Let's take a look at the champion wall! (from 1996 to 2021) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Castlevania: Symphony of the Night Pokemon RBY Spyro 2 Pokemon GSC Super Smash Bros Melee Metroid Prime Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Metal Gear Solid 3 Resident Evil 4 Okami Super Mario Galaxy Persona 4 Uncharted 2 Super Mario Galaxy 2 Portal 2 Xenoblade Chronicles Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Super Smash Bros for Wii U Rocket League Dark Souls III Zelda: Breath of the Wild Super Smash Bros Ultimate Disco Elysium Hades Metroid Dread 2021 Ultimate Loser: Dread > Village > Ratchet > Omori > Ace Attorney > Warioware > Monster Hunter Rise Annnnd that's a wrap!

Booooooooooo Nah, fantastic contest. Between this and the character contest, 2021 truly had a compelling year in new media, these contests have been so much fun to follow. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

I'm not doing the calculations, but just glancing at the bracket, shouldn't Bowser's Fury and Rift Apart be 3 and 4? --- Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi azuarc beat me. ... Copied to Clipboard!

As for the most popular games and whether or not I need to play them... Metroid Dread - don't own a Switch Bowser's Fury - don't own a Switch Rift Apart - don't own a PS5. Psychonauts 2 was already on my radar, but maybe I'll grab Ys on sale as well. --- Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi azuarc beat me. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thanks for running this! I barely voted as I haven't played many 2021 games yet, but it was fun to follow. An unsurprising winner but some games got more love than I expected, Omori beating Ace Attorney and Returnal for example or It Takes Two doing pretty well. I look forward to playing these games eventually and then making judgments about how this tourney went! --- Very slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. ... Copied to Clipboard!

UltimaterializerX posted... Correct final and winner. Good stuff. Agreed and thanks! Most final twos are legit correct in my eyes. Looking at all 26, in my opinion...

I was hoping to see Psychonauts vs. Omori personally. Dread and Village are good games but they feel a little less unique or creative compared to those two or something like Inscryption. Still a good final and winner though, thanks for running the contest. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020! Games Completed: 20/129 (Currently on Hiatus) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, out of all the finals listed there Odyssey vs. BotW is the one that feels super hard to argue with, both of those games were incredible. --- I'm playing every game from GotD 2020! Games Completed: 20/129 (Currently on Hiatus) ... Copied to Clipboard!

ZeroSignal620 posted... Agreed and thanks! Most final twos are legit correct in my eyes. Looking at all 26, in my opinion...99 - FF8 vs Spyro 2 - Replace Spyro 2 with Smash 64 and you have a great final 2003 - Prince of Persia vs KOTOR - Wind Waker, Fire Emblem, F-Zero GX, and Skies of Arcadia: Legends are all better options than PoP 2006 - Kingdom Hearts 2 vs Okami - Twilight Princess should be here 2008 - Brawl vs Persona 4 - I don't like Brawl, but it's a reasonable final 2013 - Link Between Worlds vs Last of Us - Great final 2015 - Rocket League vs Bloodborne - Get RL outta here 2016 - Pokmon Sun/Moon vs Dark Souls 3 - Yuck. 2017 - Mario Odyssey vs Breath of the Wild - Persona 5 vs BotW is the final we deserved 2019 - AI vs Disco Elysium - Two great story-driven games in a weak year. I'm cool with it. Also, OoT and Majora should've made the '98 and '00 finals respectively. --- ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ ... Copied to Clipboard!

plasmabeam posted... 99 - FF8 vs Spyro 2 - Replace Spyro 2 with Smash 64 and you have a great final Breakdown by year... 99 - Agreed. Smash 64 got stunned by Spyro 2 in the semis 2003 - Wind Waker was top seed and lost to Prince. Fire Emblem lost to Disgaea. F Zero GX lost to Jak 2, and Skies of Arcadia was released first in 2000 (where it reached Elite Eight) 2006 - Guitar Hero 2 took down Twilight Princess in the elite eight. 2008 - Reasonable. I honestly wanted Fallout 3 vs Persona 4 2013 - Also reasonable, but I wanted Link vs Revengeance 2015 - Should've been Witcher 3 vs Bloodborne. Thanks a lot Life is Strange. 2016 - Indeed. Pokmon S/M upset Uncharted 4 2017 - BotW vs Persona 5 was a semifinal match at least 2019 - Should've been Resident Evil 2 vs Three Houses 98 was a weird one, as OoT was upset by 1080 Snowboarding in round two. Majora's Mask lost to Pokmon GSC in the semis so that wasn't too bad --- Formerly known as Raven 2 https://twitch.tv/TheZeroSignal ... Copied to Clipboard!

I know that I say this every year, but seeing very much non-B8 games in Prince of Persia: TSoT and Rocket League win it all will never fail to bring a smile to my face. It helps that I love both games, especially the latter. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy ... Copied to Clipboard!
