The Best Game You Suck At Award nominations seem weird to me. Especially The Finals and Dragon Ball.

Games like A Difficult Game About Climbing or Shadow of the Erdtree make more sense to me.

[–] SlamWich@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I think The Finals is one of the more difficult shooters to wrap your head around and takes forever to get really good at. I think many people use this category "fun game where I always get my ass kicked" low skill floor high skill ceiling games.

Shadow of the erdtree all the way. People bitched so much about it being too hard. Great DLC, was not that hard compared to other souls games (the final boss was a total bastard though holy shit I died a lot)
