Obvious picks are TLoU2, Hades, and Animal Crossing imo. The rest of the picks will be some combination of Ori 2, FF7R, GoT, Cyberpunk and HL:A. TLoU2 will probably take the win

I can't see how it would be eligible since it was entered in 2017.
As someone who has never understood the appeal of Animal Crossing, I now have played something like 300 hours of this damn game at this point. I have spent more time playing AC than The Witcher 3 and Breath of the Wild COMBINED. Initially I only even bothered because my GF really wanted me to play with her. But now.. I understand it's magic. Especially in such a dark and dismal year we have all lived, this little island and all my animal friends have put a smile on my face more times than I can count. It is wholesome gaming goodness in the purest form. Granted Nintendo really needs to do some serious QOL adjustments, but the core experience is sublime.
It absolutely deserves to be in the same ranks as other GOTY contenders.

I think people underestimate how FF7R is seen as, even by critics. It was a remake of a beloved classic and pretty much handled as good as possible to the majority and catered to that nostalgia. It will be nominated.
Then among us shoots up the ranks honestly. Like that would have to be nomianted.
Persona 5 Royal is a unique situation though. It was literally nominated in a previous year.
And according to Geoff it's perfectly fine to get nominated multiple years.
I would love to see Flight Simulator and Half Life Alyx up there for their amazing technical achievements and Ori and the Will of the Wisps for its overall greatness, but I doubt any of them make it.

yeap. A couple of friends who were just playing phone games and had abandoned consoles since the PS2 days, came back to play AC. It is an amazing game for all ages.
Good question... Months? Best game of the terrible months we had? No, I meant GOTY instead.
Demon's Souls and Miles Morales will be there for sure, if Cyberpunk is up to it. Equally Hades and Doom Eternal. This year has actually been crazy.
Tsushima could get clipped by Spidey Miles, Demon's Souls, or even Valhalla, but this would be my guess right now.
was Jedi Fallen Order eligible last year....or did it miss the cut off, and was only eligible for this years GOTY?
not that i think it should win. But maybe an "also ran"

People leaving animal crossing off are fooling themselves.
The game is not only extremely well put together I'd argue it was fucking IMPORTANT that the game came out this year. It kept people sane during the early part of Quarantine.
1. TLOU2
2. Ghost of Tsushima
3. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
4. Hades
5. Ori 2
6. Tossup between FF7 Remake / Doom Eternal / Half Life Alyx.
If Cyberpunk 2077 makes the cut, it might displace any one of the above except for TLOU2.

Not my fault if you did not play The Witcher 1 and 2, both great games. The Witcher 3 is above that, is a GOAT contender, there are not many developers with a better track record right now, if any.
Hey Murders By Numbers. I need to get back to that game. If anything hopefully it get nominated for that Subway Fresh Indie Debut award (or whatever the heck the best 1st game by an indie studio award is).
TLOU2 is one of, if not my favorite game of all time.
That being said, Hades and Animal Crossing are going to come into these GOTY awards across the board and really piss off the Cyberpunk/Tushima/TLOU crowd and I am definitely here for the crying.

The Last of Us Part II
Half Life: Alyx
Doom Eternal (or 2077)
Hades
Animal Crossing
FF VII Remake (or Ori)
Covers a lot of areas of gaming IMHO.

I loved Ghost of Tsushima but I absolutely can't trust the taste of anyone who'd snub HLA, Doom Eternal, FFVII, or AC to make room for a GoT nom
Have you been living under a rock? Everyone who has played Cyberpunk loved it. The only question is how the full game holds up and there is nothing to suggest that it won't be a quality game at the very least.
The Last of Us 2 - Sony Rep
Ori and the Will of the Wisp - Microsoft Rep
Animal Crossing - Nintendo Rep
Half Life Alyx - Steam Rep
Final Fantasy VII Remake - That one Japanese game Rep
Hades - The Indie darling Rep

best hope for 13 Sentinels is to get nominated for best art direction or best narrative
It's going to win best action game
not unlike another demon slaying game
Same reason as to why so many people are leaving Flight Sim and Crusader Kings 3 off their lists.
Some genres are way more beloved by critics than others.
