PUBG, Nier: Automata, Persona 5, presumably Mario and Destiny 2, maybe Horizon on PS-friendly outlets.

Divinity Original Sin 2 will be a dark horse contender.

I assume Zelda will get GotY on most sites, but you never know. There's a pretty heavy bias against Japanese games in GotY awards it feels like. Like, SMG2 has by far the best reviews of 2010, but it got less than 10% of the GotY awards that year.

Nintendo games will always be known as the "kiddy" company or the company with the not as memorable / realistic graphics

I think there's just a Nintendo bias to be honest. In 2014, Smash Wii U was the best-reviewed new release, but it barely won any GotY awards over Dragon Age and Shadows of Mordor, which are seen as weak winners even by some of the sources that picked them.

BotW will have an overwhelming victory though.

I think it's Zelda vs. Battlegrounds on most sites this year
