| Topic | What six games will be nominated for GotY at the Game Awards? |
| azuarc 11/13/25 9:37:30 AM #122: | They usually have *a* indie game. The question this year is (a) if Clair Obscur counts as that indie game, and (b) if HKSS and Hades 2 individually have enough clout to crack the top 6. Most of us here believe that they do, but we're not the type of people who are responsible for deciding these things. There is a non-zero chance Death Stranding wins just because it's Kojima. Kojima is 62, and who knows how long he'll keep making high profile games, and we know that Keighley loves Kojima. I think at the very least he gets the "runner-up" award of Best Game Direction. I sincerely thought I posted a list when this topic went up, but at this point I only see locks for Clair Obscur, Death Stranding, Bananza, and one of Silksong or Hades. I don't think Split/Fiction feels like a contender the way It Takes Two was, but I'm also not sure what else creeps in besides Yotei. I know there are some feel-good picks like KCD2 and Blue Prince, but I think maybe the final indie game makes the pack simply in lieu of other high profile AAA games in the discussion, but I'm gonna float an odd-ball pick instead just to be a contrarian. Clair Obscur Death Stranding DK Bananza HK Silksong Ghost of Yotei Mario Kart World --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
