Quick question! @Veknoid_Outcast, are we voting for all the games we may consider as top nominees? Or games that we think are THE GotY? If the latter, then I would need to wait until the year wraps up before saying anything— I suspect the OoT remake will easily “take the cake” for me.

Thanks for this question! I’m looking for many different nominees per person, not just the single best game of the year. There’s some more detail in the opening post. Personally, I list any game I give an 8/10 or higher.

The vision of this thread is to crowdsource a list of the most impactful games of 2026, to hopefully inspire members to try games outside their periphery or comfort zone. Ideally, when it’s time to vote for GOTY later this year, members will have a large pool of experiences to draw upon.

Thanks for being a part of it!

Gotcha! Thank you. :) That’s how I sorta assumed this thread was intended, but was always a little unsure.
