Well I even think 85+ meta for Pentinent is already to much for how simplistic the game is and Bayo3 also shouldn't be near 90 due to performance issues.

If you think the game is simplistic, you definitely have not played it. It's an insanely deep and dark story that tackles VERY heavy subject matters. Not to mention a huge history lesson. I've learned more about the Holy Roman Empire in 5 hours of this game than I did in my High School history class It earns its M rating for sure. The high critical praise for Pentiment is completely justified. It's gameplay loop though isn't designed to appeal to a mass gaming audience though. It was intentionally made to be a niche game. 

Would I put it over something like GoW: Ragnarok? Absolutely not lol. Ragnarok is a special experience that you don't get to experience that often, and I'm currently working on getting Platinum.

Not that it would matter anyway. Pentiment came out the day after all the nominees were announced, so it wasn't up for any nominations.

I do need to look into it more, but it's Obsidian so I have a lot of faith. I don't think they've ever made a game I don't like. That said, I actually tend to prefer the simpler-looking games. More and more I'm finding I'm adding 2D platformers, pixel games, and indies to my lists more than AAA titles. yeah, stuff like Elden Ring and Breath of the Wild and Red Dead Redemption 2 are special, but lately I am finding I am getting more pure joy out of TMNT Shredder's Revenge and Cuphead and the Delicious Last Course. 

Don't sleep on the indies, man. They are doing so much for the industry in a world where most AAA means Activision-Blizzard, EA, and Ubisoft garbage.
