The absurd mix of some legitimate and appropriate choices, some completely unqualified recent releases that haven't even had time to exert an influence and a winner that is completely bizarre and out of left field is absolutely something else.

Shenmue? Really?

Shenmue makes as much sense as other real top spots (not counting KCD2, Skyrim or BG3 - just dumb to include). It was one of the first games of this kind and others took plenty inspiration from it which fits the original intent of the vote.
