Some of my own responses surprised me. I think that God Of War “should win/will win” GOTY but when I got there I voted Smash Ultimate because - even though I will almost certainly enjoy God Of War more overall - Smash is such an awesome piece of development.
Tetris Effect should be in the Music/Rhythm Action category but I voted for it in Puzzle Game anyway. I voted Octopath for Art Direction and RPG but I think I missed a lot of good RPGs this year so it's probably beatable. Despite not playing them I voted Sea of Thieves for disappointing game (I never thought Fallout ‘76 would be any good) and Shadow of the Colossus for best remake/remaster. I would have voted for Captain Toad for best remake but there doesn't seem to be either remaking or remastering involved. Moss for VR, Celeste for Platform.
My most anticipated game was ... (drumroll please) Yoshi! (Yeah, I know.) It's a game I'll definitely buy for my s/o, whereas everything else will depend on the reviews.
