IMO the vidya gaem awards [0] are far superior to the game awards.

		Maybe you can give a bit of context why you feel that way? Dropping a 2+ hour, <2000 views, 4chan video without context isn’t really the type of comment HN is looking for as far as I can tell

I checked them out. I guess I just miss a time when Falcon 3.0 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stunt_Island sold really well.

Stunt Island was pretty good. However, there are more unusual games out there with reasonable budgets, like Death Stranding, The Talos Principle, The Outer Wilds, Portal and X4:Foundations. Even games involving shooting like Control or Alan Wake 2 are driven by unusual story telling.

Miss falcon 3.0? Go with Falcon BMS. For any genre of games there is a modern remake and community these days.

		I literally discovered a completely free and open source Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander remake last month which is great for nostalgia’s sake. https://www.beyondallreason.info/

Yeah, 1000 variations later, the latest Doom/Quake iteration looks great.

		Summing up the entire FPS genre as Doom-like is unfair and discredits you more than anything else. Heck, even Doom and Quake are wildly different. FPS haven't been under the spotlights for a while, these days it's mostly MOBAs.
