So far Resident Evil Requiem is the strongest actual awards candidate, Mina the Hollower is my current GOTY, I really hope it gets a nomination. Haven't played Nioh 3 but it surely will be one of my favorite games this year.
I don't think Pragmata or Saros will make it to the 6 nominees at TGA. Forza Horizon 6 has the score to be nominated but I can't see a racing game taking one of the spots there.
Speculating on unreleased games, Marvel Tokon will also deserve it based on everything I saw and the beta I played, but a 2D fighting game will hardly ever get one of those spots. Ace Combat 8 also looks absolutely amazing and I'm sure I'll love it, but again, no way a game like that gets one of the 6 spots.
For unrealeased games that can make into the TGA 6 spots, I think Wolverine and Ocarina of Time remake will be there. GTA VI has it locked and very likely will be the winner too.
But for me personally, from the games released so far, from which many I haven't still played but I'm likely to love when I do, the list would be:
- Mina the Hollower
- Saros
- Nioh 3 (haven't played)
- Resident Evil Requiem (haven't played)
- Pragmata (haven't played)
- Forza Horizon 6 (haven't played)
