Best Combat System
Etrian Odyssey 4 - I don't like how vague the in game skill descriptions are, but the Etrian Odyssey battle system is undeniably detailed.
Best Open World
Might & Magic II. It's a definite step up over the first one, and the player is given an impressive amount of freedom to explore.
Best Storytelling
Uhh... tricky one. This is a bit thin on the ground. Most games are light on story, and the ones that do have it like Zanki Zero, Refrain, Galleria & Mary Skelter are inevitably full of anime tropes.
I'll just put Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos for the heck of it.
Knowles of Gortesh? Now that's storytelling.
Best Atmosphere
Anvil of Dawn. This game is maybe shit, but the atmosphere is second to none.
Best Art Direction
Ishar 2 - Messengers of Doom can be very pretty even if the faces are a bit bogged (Ishar 3 was a step back)
Most Overrated
Labyrinth of Refrain - It tries to do something different, but doesn't really achieve what it's aiming for. Also the interface is bad and managing equipment for a party of 15 is a nightmare.
Most Underrated
Knightmare, barely remembered these days. Apparently this was a tie-in to the Bonglish children's TV show, although I barely see a connection.
Most Addictive
Another tricky category. I'll say the Might & Magic Xeen duology. They're straightforward enough to play, but appealing enough to draw you back in.
Most Stressful
Wizardry 4, obviously.
Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei (the first game, not 'shin') is also worth mentioning for practically demanding a guide to play. How are you even supposed to figure out how vital gnomes are to moving around the fusion chart without copious note-taking? How do you know which combination of gems will revive the goddess? You don't! Buy the strategy guide, gaijin.
Most Relaxing
Dungeon Master for retro comfyness.
And I guess Grimrock is pretty chill.
Best Multiplayer
Uh... Bloodwych, I guess?
I think I played this once.
Best Soundtrack
I'm tempted to put Anvil of Dawn again, but that would be boring.
Frick it. I didn't want to have to do this, but Mary Skelter: Nightmares
Please kill me
Best Gameplay
I think we all know it's Wizardry 7.
Best
LevelDungeon DesignElminage Gothic strikes me as being the most thoughtfully designed.
Biggest Emotional Impact
Grimoire, Heralds of the Winged Exemplar
He did it! Cleve won

Sekiro? Eh arguable but not a bad choice.
Get the frick outta here. If they mean game quality? Still fricking no, how is this the greatest open world?
Holy frick reddit incarnate. I want to play Disco Elysium but the fanatics are so fricking annoying they act like its the first game to ever have a story.
Kind of a nebulous term but I mean I guess.
Maybe in the UI? The characters and levels are just fine. I wouldn't call it amazing, serviceable yeah. There's so many other games that should have a chance over that shit.
GTAV, yeah we're dealing with redditors. This is such an r-slured opinion. I don't even like GTAV that much but overrated as compared to what? Itself?
I hate this whole fricking list and anyone who participated in it should be gassed. Look at all the recency bias and small scope. I bet you bottom dollar these cute twinks haven't even played most of these. They're just saying what they think they should be.

You realize I can have opinions that don't line up 1:1 with the popular opinion right? It doesn't mean I'm being contrarian explicitly, just that I disagree. Just because I don't typically like the billboard hot 100 songs doesn't mean I hate popular music.

GTA 5 unironically has a better
open world, even if over rated

At the very least it's open world is far more interesting than TotK. Sure it's a beautiful world but it's functionally empty compared to other games.

I personally play 3d Zelda for a satisfying cinematic 30-45 hour fairly-condensed adventure, Botw and Totk stretches it's interesting content across way to much repetitive tasks and traveling

The shrines in particular could have been condensed into a few interesting dungeons instead of spread out all over the world. I never played ToTK, too much about BotW either bored or frustrated me so I never bothered.

GTA V was shit and I couldn't play it for more than 10 hours it was so fricking boring.
The missions were butt, the characters were butt, the soundtrack was godawful and the worst of any GTA i've played. I really don't have high hopes for VI.
That being said, it's still not most overrated. That 100% belongs to Star Citizen.

If you got people to take a similar poll seriously here, the results would be more or less the same. It's a popularity contest and popular games win. Some weird indie game that nobody's ever heard of is never going to win no matter how good it is.
Dramacels then take this list and make fun of it due to being strict contrarians with no actual beliefs

I agree that P5 has good art direction but it doesn't exist in a vacuum. It stands tall on the shoulders of prior titles in the franchise which all had their own distinct color palette and style, P5 doesn't deserve an award for doing the same with new colors, fonts, and music

Apparently it's a good game but the director pisses me off with his interviews because he like "The JRPG genre is boring and stagnant and here is how we innovated" and then proceed to list things many games have done since past the 16 bit era

His original idea was to go proper fantasy since he thought that urban fantasy had become the norm rather than the exception in media. But then the game took so long to come out that the reverse was now true thanks to isekaislop driving a lot of otaku media to generic fantasy. At least he has kind of an interesting hook where in the fantasy world their version of fantasy literature is just basically our world. The demo made me want to play the whole thing but not right away.

I'm mainly talking gameplay wise but still Fire Emblem has been doing the same thing for god knows how many years so political fantasy isn't as orginal as he claims lol
