Edit: I'm an idiot who stopped reading too soon.

"Dragon Age: The Veilguard is this year’s Alan Wake 2"

..........wot......Alan Wake 2 is a work of art, DA:tV is yet another series being dumbed down and half assed.

You missed the end of the quote, "Dragon Age: The Veilguard is this year’s Alan Wake 2, squeaking onto the Golden Joysticks’ GOTY shortlist at the last minute, joining fellow award outliers Tekken 8 and Helldivers 2."

The similarity with Alan Wake is that it launched so close to the cut off for the shortlist.

I think the author is saying it doesn't belong on the list, along with Tekken and Helldivers.

Lmao, I read that and legitimately stopped reading immediately. Thank you. Lesson learned!
