The Golden Joystick awards ceremony has took place and what most of you want to know is who claimed this year’s coveted Game of the Year award.
Yay … Fortnite … yaay
It turns out it was Epic Games with their free-to-play title Fortnite which is available to download right now on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Sorry I am just not a fan of this in my opinion way too overhyped title. There are games more deserving of that title on multiple systems

Cool to see Dead Cells getting what it deserves. Octopath as Nintendo GOTY … I am a bit conflicted about that but sure.
BUT naming Red Dead Redemption 2 as a runner up to Fortnite … you should all be ashamed of yourselves. And yes that is coming from a Nintendo fanboy.
