This list doesn’t include awards before 2014, because The Game Awards launched that year.
I played it at release and didn’t have very many bugs. I could see players having issues with the freedom that it gives though. The whole point of the game is it doesn’t tell you how to solve problems, and you need to come up with solutions yourself. I could see people coming from playing only modern AAA games not being used to thinking for themselves and that causing issues, but I don’t know if this is what you meant.
Yes this wasn’t what I meant, the game had a lot of performance issues and bugs when I played. The act 3 was also very unpolished and felt unfinished
