I'm loving my time with Cyberpunk, but the game is unfinished. Remove the bugs and performance issues and you still have entire systems missing for AI/Rendering and so on.
So I would not put it on this list.

TLOU2 is my pick, I absolutely adored that game. Playing through GoT now and just finished Act I. I have about 20 hours in it already. Just riding around and enjoying the location and side missions. Definitely a deserving game. Also, I really need to get around to playing Hades
Oh and if a game needs to be labeled as PC Only because the port versions as bugged to all hell, maybe it's not quite deserving?

Solid list.
I have only played Cyberpunk for a few hours on PC, but I find the main missions stand up well against most AAA games, and the city itself looks very impressive. The simulation is weak though. I would have it up there, but it certainly doesn't deserve to win, both for the state of the game, and the transphobic issues surrounding the CD Project.

Neither would Valhalla. What an odd inclusion. Such a boring and buggy game. I know some people on here like it, but no one I've personally spoken to likes it. One friend who bought it on release only played it for about an hour and never touched it again because of how buggy it was (PC version, I personally only played the PS4 version).
Oh yeah. That makes some sense. They don't completely ignore it (so it's on best RPGs list) but when it comes to GOTY list maybe it's held back because it's enchanted version of P5.
Is it? Didn't the PS3 release of Skyrim gradually just make your save unplayable? PC Cyberpunk is definitely jank as fuck compared to Witcher 3 at launch, but the only bit of bugginess actually causing me any problems is that it's difficult to set unconscious bodies down without them literally exploding. Annoying but by no means game breaking.
No Ori, but Valhalla, Cyberpunk, and Ghost of Tsushima get nominations. Fuck that.
I hate how "triple-A" games get such outsized consideration for awards unless the smaller game in question is just 100% undeniable like Hades.
I really don't understand it. Also IGN sucks and has sucked for a very long time.
What's wrong with GoT? I agree that Hades schould've been there, along with some other smaller titles like Spelunky 2 and 13 Sentinels (haven't played it yet but heard it's absolutely incredible), but GoT is an amazing game. Definitely deserves a spot on this list imo.
Consider yourself lucky then, or lucky that you just haven't noticed the other bugs. I'm experiencing bugs constantly, and I'm not alone.
Also, I haven't played it, but how the did someone on staff give crusader kings a 10 and it's not there but a game with a disclaimer is?
I'll never understand why people keep bringing reviews scores into this. A single person reviewed the game, a bunch of people chose the GOTY nominees. See the difference?
Exactly, the game is nowhere near GOTY level, but whatever, will not win anyway.
lol"PC Version Only"
BrazilERA will get this
The game has a lot of flaws, but people is so focused now on graphics and bugs.
Are they though cause they just reviewed the base versions of the game gave it a 4 and were not trying to make excuses in the video review. I have seen other Youtuber/influencers/Sites though completely avoiding the discussion on those versions of the game.
Happy for Hades and ACNH again. But it's a bummer Ori isn't getting GOTY recognition. I started that game and it's fantastic so far.
Will say, maybe the best nomination within a category is Them's Fightin' Herds getting nominated for best fighting game! Let's Go! That is such a wonderful fighting game and I'm glad IGN is giving it the recognition it deserves.

That's weird because Ive been playing the shit out of it and its easily a GOTY contender to me. I would still vote for Hades tho.
The more I look at this list, the more it screams "make this list as wide-covering and safe as possible".
