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!

I came around on Rygar late into the PS1 era (maybe even early PS2 - I might've played the "reinvention" there before I came back to this one), and really enjoyed playing it through end-to-end. It has kind of a rough start, and it's not clear early on that it's an action RPG (I could expand that to "nothing is clear in general). But its vibe is interesting, its music is good, and exploration is satisfying.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 2, though, might be the overall pinnacle of the tycoon sim genre. Getting lost in making your own coasters is lots of fun. The only thing it's really missing is difficulty, and that's fine for a tycoon sim IMO.
