I love animal crossing but it\u2019s not GOTY material. I\u2019ve played all the other games and I wholeheartedly feel this award is deserved by none other than The Last Of Us 2. I laughed, I cried, I felt excitement, I felt suspense, and the final 30 minutes of the game had me in tears. I\u2019ve never wanted to lose so badly to the final boss. I\u2019ve never felt so emotionally wrecked and battered by any game after it was all over.<\/p>\n
