It’s not a game, so it doesn’t deserve to win anything other than best tech demo

High fidelity does nothing to me if the gameplay is dull and unenjoyable.

Looks great on Xbox Series X.

Definitely a bias here. You've praised The Order, another tech demo. Difference? Sony didn't make one of them.

What does that have to do with the topic?

it's barely a video game, and that fact should be part of the final decision here imo.
it's on the same level of impressive as an Nvidia graphics demo... yeah it runs in real time, and yeah it's sorta interactive, but in the end there's barely anything dynamic happening and everything is super restricted, nearly 100% static and scripted.

Said with an Order 1886 avatar.
to be fair, not even the Order is this bad... and the Order is already absolute garbage, so that's kinda wild.

Far better gameplay in 1886, what little it too had.Said with an Order 1886 avatar.

Praised the order? It’s a 6/10 game, hellblade is too (and that’s being generous)
At least the order has some gunplay and isn’t just a QTE

The game's issue was short and pricy, not gameplay. It would've been way better received had priced at $40 like hellblade did.Said with an Order 1886 avatar.

Then Detroit Become Human isnt a game either...

It’s not. It’s an interactive movie with dialogue trees

Indy is a 2025 game, I mean I'm still playing the game past Feb2025. Icy time currently.

Nah, game had a myriad of issues and incredibly generic cover shooter gameplay was one of them.

Not as bad, worse, considering what The Order was trying to do.
If The Order gave up the shitty shooter gameplay and went all in on story and experience like HB2 did, it could have been a lot better. I say could have been, because the writing and story in The Order was pure garbage, but I give them the benefit of the doubt.

The games issue was definitely gameplay. It sucked.

I can see the argument to be made about it (Indiana Jones) being more technically impressive due to the RT, framerate and overall look of the game. However Hellblade 2 has the superior visuals and it has them decisively in my opinion.
All that matters is the end result. In a "best graphics" contest the only thing that should matter is the end result. They should probably rename it to most technically impressive game of the year or something in the future.
