BOTTOM 320 — Week 4 — Poll 17

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on 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!

Gah, brutal. I love Gate of Thunder, but I haven't played this particular opponent. I feel pretty confident I'd like GoT more, but can't say for sure!
You got BOOST power!

I loved GoT but it doesn’t hold a candle to What Remains of Edith Finch. Sincerely one of the best games I’ve played.
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

Got to agree with Edith here. Giant Sparrow's first game The Unfinished Swan is also pretty good. Those were 5 years apart, which means we should have been due for another game in 2022... I guess COVID19 and making several successful ports of Edith have kept them busy over the years.
