Baldur’s Gate 3 didn’t win My cityis the game of the year last year (this honor went to Alan Wake 2), but it should be, and I’m not afraid to say that at the end of this article, which a lot of people won’t see. As long as my editors don’t succeed. But if I can’t be a sore loser in my own writing, where else can I express my displeasure?
