Each game is seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools. Every game in the Upper Bracket has defeated multiple other games in 1-on-1 polls to get to this point. These are still the best of the best.
Polls are updated weekly, typically on Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!
HOW TO VOTE
This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances, so don't get complacent!
Welp, this is a brutal match-up. Both of these games belong in the top 16. The fact that one of them is going to get demoted here is a heart-breaker.

Brutal's a good word for this one. Demon's Souls is the founder of a genre and I respect it even if I didn't really "get" it until after I played Dark Souls, and Planescape: Torment is still one of the best story-based CRPGs (and the people involved are *still* trying to reach that high again decades later; both Numenara and Tyranny weren't terrible, but they weren't great).
Planescape: Torment is one of the few video games ever made that strives for - and reaches - literary levels of depth and quality of writing. An absolutely wrenching game for anyone who's ever had a deep regret of any kind, and absolutely amazing for the depth of its role-playing options, the utterly compelling weirdness of the Planescape setting and its realization (the Dead Nations, anyone?), the incredible depth of its characters and the way in which WIS, CHA and INT become the key attributes as opposed to the usual AD&D holy trinity of STR, DEX and CON.
