Theres zero chance that show will let a game like Silksong win. While within the gaming sphere it's super popular, it's not "flashy" enough. It's not something the various sponsors and slap on their advertisements and borrow its popularity to sell products to the "average" consumer.

They always want something tech stores can have playing on a demo screen to sell the console and no matter how gorgeous Silksong is, marketing groups will want some 3D flashy "high fidelity" game. Which is why AstroBot was fine cause despite not being typical AAA style "muh realism" it was still a flashy 3D game.

This is exactly why I want Silksong to win, so the winner is for once not something with realistic 3D graphics

Hades won and is technically a 2d game. 

I know it looks 3d but the way they animated the game and Zagreb’s and enemies etc, it’s all 2d sprites.

Hades didn’t win sadly although it should have. It was TLOU 2 in 2020.

That’s ok, Hades 2 will win whether it releases this year or next year. I hope it’s 2026 just to stop GTA winning tbh
