God of War is probably going to win GOTY, though I could see RDR2 winning. My personal nod of those nominees would be Spider-Man.
If Xenoblade was ineligible last year because it released in December then it must have a nomination for best RPG this year. And Smash should get several nominations next year. The awards are tainted if they always ignore December games.
Best art style-has to be Octopath. Not sure I'd give that game the nod in any other category, but that one it should get without a doubt. Very unique and striking.
