The 2020 Grimmys: Game of the Year

The consensus pick for Horrible Night's Game of the Year 2020.

The Last of Us Part II

We don’t fault anyone for not making it through The Last of Us Part II. It asks a lot of its players and too much from some. It was never meant to be an easy game to experience. If you trust it though, it will take you on an emotional ride that no other medium can pull off. The action is just as engaging and troubling as the narrative journey. You have to push forward and survive, but you cannot question the costs until they inevitably come back to fight you. It requires as much physical skill as it does emotional dedication. One fuels the other and both reward you with some of the most touching and heart wrenching moments we’ve ever experienced. How long can you continue the cycle? The Last of Us Part II has made video games better and will evolve interactive storytelling for years to come. It will always be with you.
