Awkward takes. I'm happy to see Humanity get love, but it sits oddly at the top of the Playstation list. Over representation of played-out Nintendo franchises nudged out some of my faves like Dredge, Sea of Stars, Party Animals, etc.

Also a 5 for Avatar just makes me more confused about whether it's worth a look.

Exactly and I feel Baldurs Gate should have won GOTY, not Zelda yet again...

Nintendo and indies. As usual 🙄

Edge did use to be a prestigious magazine, not it's a joke. Let's hope they change most of their staff before it dissapears.

Edge are big time Nintendo fanboys.

Time to clean house at Edge. They may as well rename themselves to Nintendo Monthly at this point.

Why these takes? I mean, Zelda is one of the best games this year and it is not undeserved to win a GOTY somewhere.

Even if I highly disagree, I'm ok with someone giving it their GOTY.

I was complaining about insulting things, like giving Planet of Lana the Xbox GOTY or Season and Humanity the top 2 spots of PS GOTY and some poser review scores.

And I say that being a Mizuguchi (creator of Humanity) fan.
