I think in any other year, Starfield might’ve gotten a nod, but this year, there were too many amazing games for one that was as aggressively safe as Starfield seems to have been. It didn’t really do anything new in a year where a lot of devs have been taking risks and hitting it out of the park.
Lazy fallout/Skyrim reskin that modders will fix over the next 8 years if they’re interested. The only part of this game that was good and new was the shipbuilding, the combat is fun too but to call this the culmination of a 25 year dream is depressing to think about, it’s just fallout if a space mini-game/ fast travel system.
It’s $70 for loading screen and walk around fallout on 500 different planets mod

The Game Awards is just a circle jerk for multi-million dollar corporations, isn’t it?
No Starfield?

The funny thing is TotK did vehicle building better than Starfield.
Do you have others to suggest for this category?
Dredge, Cocoon, Blasphemous 2, Dave the Diver
Dredge was good but not goty in any year. If a small game got goty, I would put Obra Dinn on the list
Great games, but none of them are close to the goty games this year.
You forgot Sea of Stars (which bested all your listed games in the Indie category at Golden Joystick).
Ok, some good games. But this contest is based on popularity. Smaller games rarely have a chance because they rarely have the audience.
3 of those 4 are nominated Best Independent Game. So IDK what you’re talking about, it’s not like they’re not being recognized.
I played Dredge and watched a friend play Dave the Diver, great games but not goty material in my opinion. No idea about the other two
Sounds like an amazing lineup!
Played or seen most of these and they are all beautiful gems in gaming. We are really blessed this year.
