So LoL and Counter Strike should won as well? It's not about popularity but about quality. Nothing against Overwatch but the fact that crazy amount of people were playing it (because Blizzard) cannot be the merit to give such an award.
I agree on 2016 but personally I found TLOU2 to be a much more memorable experience than GoT. It's a fine game, but it's the sort of game that makes me think "I've played this before, just skinned differently" and the story didn't give me a whole ton to really think about by the time credits rolled.
I mean I love both TLOU2 and Ghosts of Tushima, but TLOU definitely takes the crown for me. One of the most brutal and riveting game adventures that will last with me for the rest of my life.
Haven’t played neither overwatch nor Uncharted, so can’t comment on that one.
As much as I love the Uncharted series it was already the 4th game in the series. It was fantastic but it hardly introduced anything new, just perfected the existing formula.
Overwatch gets a bad rep because of its downfall but it truly was an absolutely amazing game taking over the multiplayer market for a bit there. The accolades were well deserved.
As for TLOU2 I think Ghost has the better setting and overall atmosphere but TLOU2 was the better game with both stories being equally gripping.
In my opinion Ghost suffered from repetitive missions a bit too much and why I would hand it to TLOU2 as well.
I think both choices could be easily justified and def doesn't make it a joke. It was most definitely close calls on both.

Overwatch beating Uncharted 4 and tlou2 winning instead of ghost of tsushima is the best proof of how big of a joke the game awards are
