They've had 6 games make the shortlist as Game of the Year nominees since 2018.
Assuming there are no changes to the format this year, which 6 games do you think will be nominated?
(Not who you want to be on it.)

I haven't made this thread before, but I thought this year is extra interesting since there are so many games that reviewed really well.

Here are some notable examples.

Remasters won't make it into this category (otherwise Metroid Prime would be here) but Remakes can.

My prediction for now in no particular order:

- Baldur's Gate 3
- Zelda: TOTK
- Resident Evil 4
- Super Mario Wonder
- Spider-Man 2
- Hi-Fi Rush

Nominees:
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Zelda TotK
- Resident Evil 4
- Spiderman 2
- Starfield
- Hogwarts Legacy

Winner: Baldur’s Gate

I don’t think this is a great list because I think there are better games than Hogwarts Legacy and Starfield, but I think their popularity will earn them a spot

I make game analyses on youtube:

I could see Starfield being nominated in order to have at least one exclusive each from the big three. Will probably get more viewers that way.
