Summary
The past year has been anything but normal but we press on as usual with our annual awards show. Unlike in years past, we are eliminating runner-ups and honorable mentions in favor of a coordinated effort that eliminates any overlap between our choices. That means more games are honored in each category! In part 4, we discuss the following categories:
- Best Ensemble Cast
- Best New Character
- Best Enemy Design
- Best Boss Fight
- Best Moment
This episode includes a short sample from Ed's favorite soundtrack of the year: Ghost of Tsushima
