Lastly, for those interested in my Unneeded Opinion™, I must say I'm pretty unfazed. Without going into stereotypical generalizations, Japanese developers largely tend to adopt Western games. Then I was definitely expecting something like Ghost of Tsushima or The Last of Us Part 2 in first identify, rather than Japanese games such every bit Terminal Fantasy VII Remake or Persona 5 Scramble. With that said, I'm pleasantly surprised to see Sakuna in fourth place. Information technology's incredible a doujin game (a Japanese indie game) initially from Comiket, with a first demo released at C95 in December 2022, managed to reach such heights in both reputation and worldwide sales.
