[The winner of this award was Cruelty Squad]
If the Immersive Sim genre were in a coma, this is what the dream would look like.
A disgustingly beautiful corporate hellscape of funko pop collectors, stock trading on organs and fish, and swinging around on your organs like Spiderman in a schizophrenic fever dream.
/v/ loves immersive sims, and Cruelty Squad gives the player more than enough agency to play the game their way, and then some.
It also lacks that AAA "safety" that prevents players from doing what they want: You can grapple undеr the map geometry itsеlf and kill targets from there, if you want. Cruelty Squad won't stop you.
The satirical hyper-capitalist themes gave the community more than enough material to work with when it came to memes, along with the ingame timer encouraging replaying missions with newly-found weapons and sharing strategies and runs with players to compete for the fastest times.
There are plenty of secrets to be found if you deign to explore the game's familiar-yet-completely-alien world. You might stumble upon some weird satanist's basement, find a secret entrance to a brand new level, or new leg implants that let you reach the skies.
Overall, it does everything it needs to make this LSD landscape feel just like home.
