Game Awards 2025: The Great GOTY Robbery?
Alright gamers, let’s talk about the elephant in the room. The Game Awards 2025 GOTY list is out, and frankly, it’s missing a crucial piece of the puzzle: Blue Prince! How could the academy overlook what is clearly a masterpiece of gaming?
Let’s assume, for the sake of argument, the nominees are titles like ‘Space Explorers VII’, ‘Fantasy Realms Online’, ‘Cyberpunk City 2077: Reloaded’, ‘Detective Cat’, and ‘Indie Game Revolution’. All solid games, sure, but none possess the innovative gameplay, compelling narrative, and sheer emotional impact of Blue Prince. It redefined the RPG genre!
So, which game should be sacrificed at the altar of Blue Prince’s greatness? My vote goes to ‘Detective Cat’. While charming and well-executed, it simply doesn’t reach the same heights of innovation and artistic achievement as Blue Prince. The narrative, while engaging, feels somewhat derivative compared to the groundbreaking story woven within Blue Prince. The gameplay in ‘Detective Cat’, though polished, doesn’t offer the same level of strategic depth and player agency found in Blue Prince.
Ultimately, the Game Awards are subjective, but the omission of Blue Prince feels like a disservice to the gaming community. It’s a title that deserves recognition, and its absence from the GOTY list is a glaring oversight. Let the debate rage on – but deep down, we all know Blue Prince was robbed!
