Ok. Never even heard of this game. Weird deer and placements. I could think of many other games that are worthy of oscars...

[DanteVFenris666]

You never heard of it? Almost every let's player ever has played this game

[Fist4achin]

Sounds like a game where everyone gets a trophy too

[agent4532]

Agreed

[jznrpg]

Of all the great stories in games this is the first game qualified for an Oscar, wtf

[troxman]

Story wise, I dont see it. innovation through a philosophical lens might be key here.

I'm calling BS on the article though, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus was nominated for an Academy Award back in 1998.

I like it how you can play a germ in the wind then jump to deer or something. You play every thing and I thought it was a cool concept

[InKnight7s]

Persona, uncharted, Horizon, TLOU and weird thing on Oscar!!

[DanteVFenris666]

Everything is the better game because it IS EVERYTHING. You simple can't beat this game with one game when everything is all games

Dude it's barely a game, and don't act like it's some kind of existensal game, it's just picking creatures and talking and moving around. It's no man's sky again where the gameplay is discovery and we all know how boring that gets. If you want to see cool stuff get a microscope, there are some awesome things to see, and grotesque.

[Timesplitter14]

that's a bit ridiculous

everybody's gone to the rapture is oscar worthy
