Top 256 — Week 3 — Poll 6

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round of 256!

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!

Ori is such a beautiful and gorgeous game and on top of that is a really fun gameplay experience.

Ori is good. I won't be sad if it wins, even though Shadowrun SNES is the more interesting game. Shadowrun did a great job of integrating conversation keywords, isometric action, mercs, hacking, magic, and karma to create a totally different kind of RPG than the usual D&D-based or Japanese ones that we had seen so many of by 1993. It's not super long, but each sequence (the vampire/graveyard, the arena, Drake) is entertaining.

It's also much more like a CRPG, which made it especially stand out to me when I was a kid (who had never played any CRPGs to that point).
