Expedition 33, Death Stranding 2, and Ghost of Yotei are the most nominated games…
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is up for 12 awards, making it the most nominated game in the awards’ history, followed by PlayStation titles Death Stranding 2: On the Beach and Ghost of Yotei with eight nominations each, and Hades 2 with six.
Wow, the only games I want to see win anything are Dispatch and I guess Peak. Pretty much everything else did not click with me.
E33 has really surprised me with how widely praised it is. I put it in the same area as Death Stranding 2. I recognize that people seem to really like those games but I just do not get the same enjoyment and I cant understand what other people like so much about them, other than that they evidently do.
E33 is the only game to have ever made me ugly-cry, and it did it multiple times. That alone secures it a place in my personal pantheon. I didn’t love the combat system, but I will admit that’s because I have never liked JRPG systems, and I eventually grew to be okay with it. The game was a work of art and passion that we rarely ever see, and that came through.
Different strokes for different folks and all that. I personally couldn’t stand The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, or Baldur’s Gate 3 despite them being constantly praised.
I bounced off Witcher 3 too. Watched friends play a lot of RDR2, not interested.
…BG3 was sublime though. I don’t even like D&D combat, or ‘Tolkien-esque’ fantasy, but holy hell. It’s gorgeous, it just oozes charisma, the map is great, and was quite fun in coop.

Have not played it yet, but for me, personally, E33 looks like one of those “better to watch the cutscenes on YouTube” games.
It’s getting made into a movie already so you can probably wait for that worst case:>
Expedition 33 is the only game on the list that isn’t a sequel or derivative of a previous IP so it’s got originality going for it :>
