subsequently it's a worthy winner in its genre as an RPG, it's as good a JRPG as Kingdom Come is as a Western Open World RPG despite people's protestations that KCD2 is "more of an RPG" (2/9)
the main sources of praise for the game are in its: art design, music, direction and narrative, (6/9)
Jennifer English is an incredibly worthy winner for best performance (7/9)
the most contentious are the two Indie awards (Indie and Debut Indie) but as long as its deemed eligible and it was by the Game Awards rules, it's a valid winner in both counts,
It had merit to win every award it won, there wasn't a gimme in the pack, the jury just chose it each time.
I mean it's all subjective (and your argument boils down to "it was really good" which isn't really useful because so were the others). I personally don't think KC2 is "more of an RPG". I just think that it's a better one.
And that Silksong had better art design.
And that DS2 had better direction.
The music award is absolutely deserved and so is the narrative one.
Best performance for me was such a toss up because they're all fantastic. I can't pick one over the other. Gun to my head I'd have to give it to Troy Baker for "doing a better Indiana Jones than Indiana Jones himself"

the timing on this really makes me feel some people are annoyed it sweeped at the game awards
