It was really good in all portions. I just am not sure if it's quite the mid 2010s, like that first year the switch was out both Nintendo and Sony released tons of great stuff plus 3rd party developers too. But it was good still. (For reminders of games from 2017: Zelda, Mario Odyssey, RE7, Nier Automata, Samus Returns, Cuphead, Evil Within 2, Prey, Nioh, Hellblade and more) so against a year like that, it's nothing special. Also arguable this year didn't have 2 legitimate GOTY contenders like the year God of War and RDR2 came out.

You can hear the main vocalist for Poets of the Fall in Herald of Darkness, so as long as you're familar with their close relationship with Remedy Games (such as going to listen to their tracks that are inside Control and the first Alan Wake), it's pretty guessable.

All the sex lines from Astarion had me laughing so much. I just started Baldur's Gate 3 last night (I was not aware there were customization options for the sex organs and I spent a long time in the character creator). I'm not very good yet. I got downed in the fight to take over the ship in the beginning. Took me ages to free Shadowheart. Then when Shadowheart and I were exploring and walked into those 3 brain creature things in the ship wreckage and got into a fight with them, we both got downed nearly simultaneously. I need to figure out how to properly play with my Dragonborn fighter. Or just aim their lightning attack properly instead of it hitting scenery instead of enemies. I did pretty well guessing on the whole. Happy that Armored Core VI got one question related to it, but that's the game that actually released this year that I've logged the most hours in. I'm laughing so hard again at the various cuts to Karl Urban (I do love that ad).
