Expansions won't make it. Eligibility doesn't matter, the reviewers/judges themselves heavily favor full games just like they favor certain genres over others, or new games over faithful remakes. Tekken 8 is eligible too and yet it probably won't even be nominated, because it's a traditional fighting game.

I'll make my prediction tomorrow after STALKER 2's reviews.

Nominations are already out

Wut? I was told the deadline was extended to include STALKER 2.

They actually nominated Erdtree!! No way it's winning the whole thing as that would piss off so many people including me! :(

Rebirth, AstroBot, and Metaphor made it as expected. The first two have the biggest shot, with AstroBot having the upper hand because Metaphor should steal more votes from Rebirth than from any other nominee. But I'm rooting for Rebirth.

Not surprised that Zelda couldn't make it. A little surprised (pleasantly) that Wukong made it and Helldivers 2 didn't.

My top 6 would have been something like:

1. AstroBot

2. Rebirth

3. Metaphor

4. Helldivers 2

5. Zelda

6. Balatro

The bottom 3 were hard to predict, coz the year ended up being quite stacked.
