I agree that having 3 RPGs there will canibalize the audience and favor Astro Bot, but I still believe that is nowhere near enough for it to beat Rebirth.
It Takes Two would not come near winning most years, 2021 was arguably the weakest year in many, many years, the biggest game there was RE8 which would also not make the top 3 this year.
Elden Ring is a JRPG, too, and would you look at thatÂ
FF7 being a JRPG and winning the GOTY there too would not surprise me in the slightest, it's FF7 afterall, a open world FF7 no less, it was made to win GOTY awards.
Usually the GOTY needs to fill at least 1, or more of this points to be elected:
1. Be technically impressive
2. Be artistically impressive
3. Be massive/have content to last long
4. Have a strong narrative/story
5. Have brand/franchise recognition
6. Studio/company have excellent track record
FF7 Rebirth fits all of those, all of them.
Astro Bot has 2, 6 because of Sony, and 1, but many would dimish it there because it's not a realistic focused game.
Metaphor have 2, 3, 4 and 6 because of Atlus.
Obviously have more points doesn't automatically make a game the winner, it's not math, as a game can be so, so good at only something as that matter more than others being good in more ways, but Rebirth really looks like a lock to me.
