Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or how much, but in any case: Have you played the game? Or at least seen it played by someone who respects the game? I thought the game was the sort dumb nonsense that's made for screaming idiots to play on Youtube, like Goat Simulator.

Then actually playing it, without someone talking over the narration the entire time, I saw that the narration starts by teasing the player for its failures, but it gets more personal as you climb further and further. He starts to talk about the concept of B-games, then about his ideas on failure which shaped the game, and ends with something slightly "The Beginner's Guide" like. He even writes the credits by hand, which I just absolutely loved XD. Just saying, there's value to the game, and if you only know it offhand through memes and stuff, it can be easy to miss it.


As for the winners, all deserved, I'm sure. Getting Over It is a weird little B-game with heart, Celeste is a damn good platformer, and the perfect answer to anyone who calls these indie games "simple", and Night in the Woods is full of compelling characters. Chuchel I haven't played, but just by looking at it I can see the how they won their Excellence in Visual Art award.
