It was pulled from sale on Steam and at various retailers for months. The PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight was so messed up that the publisher retracted its release. This year's winner has a little bit of everything. In some years, it might be an entire company that has managed to bungle things on such a massive scale that they overshadow any one game or moment. In some years, it's games that were so broken that they required apologies from the publishers. While Nintendo hasn’t officially said anything regarding the future of Splatoon, we hope that the enthusiastic response from fans and critics leads to more entries as the years go on.Įvery year we crown the hottest mess in a variety of forms. Even our early worries about a lack of content proved to be wrong, as free DLC trickled out on a regular basis after launch. We were thrilled to see that Splatoon actually pulled it off, delivering fast-paced and engaging multiplayer, reliable network connections, and an immediately likable presentation. Nintendo introducing a solid new series isn’t impossible to imagine, but one that requires the publisher to understand online multiplayer is a little more far-fetched. With Nintendo’s lack of prominent new IPs in recent years and their long-running struggles with anything related to the internet, you’d be forgiven if you were skeptical of Splatoon when it was announced.
As always, don't forget to check out the video recap of today's winners, and listen to our sometimes heated deliberations in podcast form, over on the GOTY hub. We're halfway there! After yesterday's contentious set of categories, we're back with four more awards to dole out to some of the best (and worst) games of the year.
