Game of the year nominees are:
- Astro Bot
- Balatro
- Black Myth: Wukong
- Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
- Metaphor: Refantazio
Yes, DLCs are included in categories. Kind of ridiculous TBH.
Astro bot and balatro make sense. I hope balatro wins.
Black myth is Chinese propaganda or psyOp. Has to be. People did not seem to care for this game?
Erd is dlc which is BS. It will probably win cus these games are cult status.
FF7 is weird. 1 part of many in a remake. People seemed pretty mid about it?
Metaphor felt weird in the demo. These also reach cult status. I could see this winning though with the added recency bias.
1000xRESIST absolutely robbed
Balatro really look like clown in that list.
Kinda disappointed that Pacific Drive wasn’t nominated for indie game of the year, I think it deserves a spot at least.
No Satisfactory, V Rising, Core Keeper, Throne and Liberty in any of the categories. Probably because they did not pay to get into the list. But we got remake of Silen Hill 2 in many of them and a DLC as GOTY. Sony will win because they bought the contest after Concord flop or dude from Balatro because he poker played all his earnings to make his dreams come true.
