A new Metroid 5, new mainline open world-ish SMT, new AAA handheld Monster Hunter, new Monster Hunter Stories game, a new The World Ends With You game, and a new Bravely Default. Not to mention an expanded port of Cruis'n Blast, an arcade game I've been hoping to get for the last 5 years.

Only ones I properly played were Deathloop and Village and didn’t much care for either of them, deffo not my games of the year. Cool seeing stuff like SMT V and Rise make it into some of the genre categories though.
Honestly surprised that Returnal wasn't on this list, as that would've been my guess for GOTY winner this year based on its reception online (also it has felt like TGA favours PS exclusives).
I think Dread has a good chance of winning here. But it's anyone's game really. If anything I'd say Resi has the slight edge, if only because of the series' reputation as a whole.
Edit: also, what a year we've had where two 3D platformers are nominated, as well as a 2D Metroidvania.
Disappointed that Tales of Arise got snubbed from the big award, however I voted for it in the RPG category (I'm liking SMTV too, but I'm not nearly far enough along whether or not to say I like it more than Arise, so I couldn't vote for it).
Also voted for SM3DW + Bowser's Fury in the family category. That game was just straight up good old fashioned fun.
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
It's just the same half dozen games nominated in virtually every category. GOTY? Deathloop! Best Audio? Deathloop! Best Direction? Deathloop! Best Art Direction? Deathloop! Best Narrative? Deathloop! Best Score? Deathloop! Best Voice Actor? The one from Deathloop! Best Action? Deathloop!
It's such a crock. So many amazing games release every year and yet, it's like the ppl voting are just diehard fanboys and try to vote for the same games in any category it could possibly even be eligible for.
You're telling me Neo The World Ends With You didn't have good enough art Direction to be nominated? You're telling me SMTV didn't have a good enough soundtrack to be nominated? No room for those. We gotta make room for DEATHLOOP!
We need to start our own awards show. One where quality games beyond the mass market releases get recognition as deserved.
I also noticed any Sony exclusive nominated, they'll make sure it gets crammed in half a dozen categories. Just look at Ratchet (6 categories) and Deathloop (8 categoried).But if it's Forza Horizon 5 or Metroid Dread, it's 1 category only. It's like that year in, year out. If Deathloop was Xbox exclusive, I find it hard to believe it would be in 8 categories.

This is why awards should be split by platform. To avoid situations like this where the majority has a bias leaning one way.
There should be no GotY. There should be PS GOTY, Xbox GOTY and Switch GOTY. Each and every category should be split among the 3 platforms. That would prevent bias from choking out the games that deserve recognition but have the unfortunate disadvantage of being on the "wrong" platform in the eyes of the panel. And it would disincentivize them from spamming their exclusives in every category, because they'd no longer feel the need to "best the other guys" to validate their notion of superiority and stroke their own egos.
But that'll never happen, of course. I'm just so tired of seeing the same crap happen every single year.

I honestly thought DEATHLOOP was overrated AF, so seeing it nominated for basically every category just seems like an absolute joke. But the critics gave it multiple 10 out of 10s, so I guess this was inevitable. I know people will be mad Switch hasn’t had more representation in the Awards, but I don’t think it has as much mass market penetration outside of those iconic first party games, so I am not really surprised.
I kinda gave up years ago when Xenoblade Chronicles 2 didn't even get a nomination for best soundtrack, lol.
And MH Rise not being up for GOTY is a bad joke.
Xenoblade 2 not being on best soundtrack is pretty inexcusable, almost regardless of what the competition is. I just checked the nominations, which at least has really good competition for soundtrack, but tbh Mario Odyssey is the odd one out (which tells you how great the others/Xenoblade 2's soundtracks are), should've been Xenoblade instead.
Also, it is funny to me that MH Rise isn't on GOTY, and I'm pretty sure was more successful than the other GOTY contenders.
Does anyone know anything about the two "A League of Legends Story" games that just released on Switch?
One seems to be a rhythm platformer, and the other a turn based RPG. They both actually look like they could be good. They both have solid visuals, too.
Never heard of them before.
