The last months of the year are always synonymous with celebrations and awards galas awarded by various entities to titles released during that year. Some like the Golden Joystick Awards were held a few days ago, but normally, we always give more prestige and importance to the Game Awards.
This gala will be held on December 9 and just over a week ago we were introduced to the nominees for the game of the year including those who were Psychonauts 2 and we highlighted the absence of Forza Horizon 5.
Phil Spencer’s Psychonauts 2 el GOTY
During a recent appearance on the Major Nelson 20th Anniversary podcast, the Xbox manager was asked what his game of the year for 2021 is, to which he responded as follows:
Frankly, for me, Psychonauts 2 is probably my game of the year, just a fantastic game… in my opinion, as a Double Fine fan, this is the best game they’ve released.
Prior to the release of Psychonauts 2 I actually went through backward compatibility and replayed the original Psychonauts, just reliving those moments, I was so impressed with how it stuck.
