    It’s such a shame STALKER 2 is releasing too late to get a nomination. Well, assuming it lives up to the hype (knock on wood).

    That being said, what are people’s guesses for which game takes it? I don’t think I’ve actually played any of the nominated games this year personally.

      I haven’t played any of them but Balatro is my vote for game of the year. I’m tired of the awards featuring recycled game design and never ending franchises. I think I’d also be ok with Astro Bot wining.

      My money is on Balatro. Astro Bot is another I would put way up there. My only hope is that Wukong doesn’t win because I don’t want those rules about “disagreeable topics” for talking about the game.
