For all awards except for People's choice, there is a jury of voters made up of gaming critics, and then they also take in audience votes for them. It's weighted 90% critic, 10% audience though, so the audience gets barely any say on these awards with only 10% voting power. Basically whatever the critics like wins. And a ton of gaming critics lean in a certain direction politically....

The audience wanted Tsushima to win, which was why it won people's choice, but the critics adore TLOU 2. 

Now, did the audience really think Tsushima was THAT good? Did the game REALLY earn those votes on its own merits?

Or did they just want to fuck over Last of Us 2 because it didn't turn out exactly like they wanted it to and they're STILL butthurt about it?

maybe people just liked it more, personally i have no interest in tsushima but I heard a lot more positivity about it than TLOU 2. for me TLOU 2 fell flat as a narrative and did exactly what i was afraid a sequel would do. I was always of the opinion that the original should have been left alone. my other big issue was the pacing. the game was around 10 hours to long
