BOTTOM 192 — Week 1 — Poll 8

[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!

Just now opening the polls, but this is an early contender for toughest of the bunch.

Mega Man 9 is a very strong return to retro form for a great series, but it is fundamentally, by design, not original. Outer Wilds is a wildly original (and well-executed) game, enough so that it overrides my series-loyalty at this round of the contest.
