Just take the list of highest scoring games on Mentacritic, and remove all non-AAA games.

Red Dead Redemption 2
God of War
Celeste
Forza Horizon 4
Dead Cells
Into The Breach
Monster Hunter World

Also Spiderman perhaps, because it wasn't that far off and it's selling very well.

God of War
Red Dead Redemption 2
Spider-Man
Monster Hunter World

Only games I can think of, I'd also mention Smash Ultimate if that came out before the deadline.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

RDR II, God of War, Monster Hunter World. I wish Octopath Traveler, but it will not happen. Smash comes to late to the party. RDR II will win, it is so far ahead of the other games.

You must have not played GOW or probably don't own a PS4 or both. cause thats the only way someone can make such a statement.

Unless being a fully open world game (as opposed to the more linear open world of GOW) is a gauranteed shoe in for GOTY, then yes there is no chace for GOW.

But if both games are taken on their own merit the its gonna be a really tough decision for anyone to make having to pick between those two games. Even spiderman has some merit too.

I played the first God of War, didn't like it and never touched the series again. it's just not my cup of tea, similar as I didn't touch Super Mario Odyssey, as I don't care for Mario.

But let's be serious here, God of War has a Meta of 94, Spider 87. RDR II has 97. And moreover, if a jury decides on a GOTY, then half of them will have never played an exclusive, but all of them a big multiplat. That doesn't mean an extraordinary exclusive can get the title, but GoW is rated behind RDR II, so it is quite unlikely it gets picked.

RDR2, Spider-Man, God of War and Monster Hunter World.


And most likely RDR2 will win most of GOTYs, when I feel God of War deserves it.

It's called an open world. Most awards seem to love those.

Just thought, I know RDr2 is primarily a 3rd person shooter or action game. But it can also be played primarily in 1st person (I playing it that way). Could it therefore win both awards?

Yeah, people seem to have mentioned the main ones. Only other one I hope get some recognition is Ni No Kuni 2.

I can only dream.

There's no differentiation between FPSs and TPSs on The Game Awards.

Oh, I meant GotY awards in general, as I know a few places do give separate awards.
