Recently we held a vote on the RPG Codex Game Of The Year. In the end, 742 of you voted with only 6 disqualified (H-K, ---, Blaine, duke nukem, Mech and vean - who all randomly voted for every single game¹).

From a list of over 100 games split into 3 categories, the Top #3 are as follows (the scores are the final bayesian average for each game):

REMASTER:
  1. Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition 3,81
  2. Swords and Sorcery - Underworld - Definitive Edition 3,51
  3. Wasteland 2: Director's Cut 3,50
TACTICOOL:
  1. Invisible, Inc. 3,74
  2. Conquest of Elysium 4 3,65
  3. Chaos Reborn 3,54
GOTY:
  1. Underrail 4,20
  2. Age of Decadence 4,18
  3. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt 4,00

Congratulations to CD Projekt RED, Iron Tower Studio and Stygian Software for making the top 3 RPGs that Codexers love.

Fun Fact™: Age of Decadence did take the lead in early voting but below average votes which came in later brought it down - for Underrail to pip the post and become the Codex RPG GOTY of 2016!

¹Removing the 6 dodgy votes didn't affect the final standings anyway, likewise there were other dodgy suspect votes we left in which regardless of taking them in or out made little overall impact on the results.

If you'd like to check who voted for what, or come up with your own analysis, the full spreadsheet of data and results is available here. Thanks to felipepepe and all those with autism who helped work out the voting method.

Results were expected. It's nice to see good games winning the poll though, unlike on other sites where FO4 must be GotY every time.

I don't even know what this is. I googled it and the game has 34 reviews on Steam. Wtf, how is it that hundreds of people here played it? Did I miss something?

Congratulations to the winners.

PoE is going to be vindicated by a future generation of Codexers, when the doors of butthurt are cleansed, and man sees the content as it truely is, Respectable.
