Indivisible, River City Girls, and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order all deserved recognition that they didn't get.
Xbox Game Pass subscribers can now dive into the unique and beautifully hand-drawn RPG Indivisible once more.
I actually played because it was leaving last time and read great things, I loved it. It actually left just before beating, I even thought turning off network to get the final achievement would work( I don't think it did), but I did beat it when it was technically out of Game Pass. Might get back in to get those last few achievements.
Punch and kick your way to rescue your kidnapped boyfriends in River City Girls from WayForward and Arc System Works. Set in the iconic River City brawler franchise, players will mow down waves of enemies and bosses through six colorfully pixelated areas. With inspiration taken from classic arcade games and modern media alike, I was hyped to play this ported gem. While River City Girls came out swinging, my match ended before it ever really began.
"WayForward's River City Girls is an incredible beat 'em up RPG that has spawned a successful franchise and even an artbook. The first game has appeared on every modern platform other than mobile - until now. River City Girls is now available on iOS and Android through Crunchyroll Game Vault. Basically, paying Crunchyroll subscribers get free access to games in the vault, which is a great deal if you're already relying on the service to stream anime," says Co-Optimus.
That's a pretty bad list. Almost as bad as our options this year for GotY alone. I think that list kind of proves that they did a good job getting the games in there that deserve it.
While deserving representation in a few categories Fallen Order missed the cutoff for submissions by the time most outlets got review codes. The cutoff for an eligible games release date was the 15th but the date for voting submission was the 8th.
But honestly I don't see any other game in the article truly deserving of a nomination. And while not a bad game Bloodstained certainly is not close to the best metroidvania of the past few years.
I would change the title to ''11 games that failed to make the Game Awards 2019 nominations''
Those weren't snub worthy.
Other than Star Wars Jedi, the games on that list arrn't that great. Now I know that there will be people who think that some of these are the best games ever made. It's personal taste.
Control over DMC5 lmao. Obvious political agendas.
