@@Revealingstorm.Exactly, proving my point. The BG3 fans ain’t gonna be happy

[@RaphDeGrate]

The SF6 breakdown is so accurate and real. At its core it’s still street fighter so I’m probably gonna sink like 300 more hrs into it. But it goes to show that if the core of the game is good enough it can be riddled in so many painful flaws that would be death sentences for other games

[@pkonneker]

The payoff on a running gag you only really get to do once a year is phenomenal. Big ups to that GOTY for finally getting up off the bench and coming out to bat. Way to go!

The music of Metroid Prime is my heart and soul. I was so glad to hear you shout it out

[@johnnyboy3849]

I have been waiting YEARS for Dunkey to say something about the masterful music of Metroid Prime. I can die happy now

[@PokeBallerLuke]

I’m really happy it was on the list, and I’m super glad he mentioned the soundtrack 👌👌

[@mrpibb7781]

I got Prime remastered mainly because I fell in love with the exact score Dunkey played. When you're floating under water and let loose a couple missile at an enemy, the way it seems as of the missles move slowr, still locked on their target with that music in the background? It's a beautiful thing

[@Wadha910]

Banderitax just mentioned you in an interview 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@TGtornadoe]

After all these years the true Mario Bros. Game of da year gets its due. Thank you dunkey for appreciating such an under appreciated masterpiece.

[@ignaciodiazmoore]

When I saw Raise a Peter as the first game, I thought this was going to be a joke ranking.... it wasn't. It was seriously one of dunkey's favorite games of the year. Well deserved

[@jeffjefforson1435]

It's actually a fun game and idk why

[@josephthompson9016]

Important to remember that every year, Dunkey is our KZbinr of the year. And now father of the year ! Keep it up donkman

[@TheBrutaline]

The worst part of Dunkey's best ofs is the 1 year wait between them.

[@holijay5502]

You make me want to play video games.

[@oxiclean4972]

Thank you dunkey for helping me form an opinion. My game of the year was Baldurs Gate 3 but now that I realized raise a peter is better because of this list, my game of the year is now Family Guy.

[@LilyBlue53]

I wonder what Dunkey's Game of the Year will be. EDIT: I am SHOOK at this plot twist

[@UndeadAlv]

The fact that Dunkey has learnt so much about videogames in these couple weeks to be able to beat Super Mario Bros 3 is just mind blowing... Would love to see him play Mappy 1983, but that game is only for hardcore gamers...

[@3nzo_]

Mario 2 being dethroned is historic and will be remembered for centuries

[@mmanzanozr1]

Thank you Donko for not GLAZING Baldurs Gate 3 like all the other's
