  • Pikminmaniac posted a message in the forum topic If Elden Ring, BotW, ToTK and Baldurs Gate 3 came out in 2017, who do you think would've won GOTY?. on the System Wars board

    Baldur's gate feels a bit different than the others and would deserve accolades on its own merits.Between Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom and Elden Ring, I think Breath of the Wild is head a...

  • Pikminmaniac posted a message in the forum topic Looking at all the GOTY winners, which one was most deserving?. on the System Wars board

    Breath of the Wild is such a massively transcendent game. It blew an entire genre wide open. Truly a masterclass in game design.

  • Pikminmaniac posted a message in the forum topic What game(s) do you consider a masterpiece?. on the System Wars board

    @SolidGame_basic: I wasn't a fan of the direction they took Tears of the kingdom. It felt like several steps backwards in a lot of ways. Breath of the Wild is a far better game in my eyes.

  • Pikminmaniac posted a message in the forum topic What game(s) do you consider a masterpiece?. on the System Wars board

    If I were to call one game a masterpiece it would be Breath of the Wild. That game is transcendent. There was nothing like it before and nothing like it since.
