Is it possible we finally have a 3D platformer that can win GotY? I’m really hoping so.

edit: I just looked at OC, and apparently Astro Bot is currently the 8th most critically acclaimed game of all time (according to OC). It’ll definitely drop as time passes (as do all games), though it’s still an incredible statistic for the present moment.

It's pretty much guaranteed to win. It Takes Two is a platformer that won GOTY at 88 Metacritic, while Odyssey only lost because it had BotW to contend with. Metaphor could be another 90+ game, this means that Rebirth and Metaphor will steal from each other's votes due to both being JRPGs appealing to similar-ish fanbases. I'm already feeling bad for SquareEnix.

This leaves Zelda which I feel would need to score about 95+ to have a chance, because it's a small budget 2D title. Finally, Dragon Age could be a huge surprise and Bioware's redemption!!! (not happening).

And I'm not sure if AstroBot will drop in score, because so far it's been climbing from 89 through 93 and 94 to now 95 on Opencritic. The insanity is it's tying Elden Ring there at the moment!
