Only have Zelda and Diablo 4. I’ll probably get Baldur’s Gate 3 sometime this year, where it’ll probably win.

The rest can wait for discounts.

 

[unlurkified]

Wow, lot more varied than I would have thought. Haven’t played BG3 or FF16 yet (plan to). Remnant 2 is mine so far. Some of the best game design in years for me. Only 9 votes for it though so far is oof.

Dying to know who the second Forspoken vote is. Sympathy vote?

 

[DragoonKain]

Metroid Prime Remastered. Just adore the game. Loved it then, loved it just as much this go around.

Aside from that I'd choose between Zelda and RE4. Dead Space close behind those. The year of the remakes/masters

 

[Deputy Moonman]

Tears of the Kingdom. It's better than Breath of the Wild.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

So, I'm going to need to change my vote from TOTK.

Baldur's Gate 3 has taken over my life. It's amazing. I hate iso and I've never cared about D&D, but I worked only 1.5 hours today, and all I want to do is keep playing it.

Can't take nothing from Zelda and what Nintendo did with TOTK, but Baldur's Gate 3 deserves Game of The Year.

 

[GigaBowser]

TOTKS will win most GOTYS TGAS

 

[darth.shrimp]

Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure if BG3 got released in May and TotK in August and not the other way around, people's opinion on both would switch too.

 

[Lupin25]

Voted TOTK a few days ago, but everyday I play more BG3 it gets closer to knocking Zelda off that top spot.

The freedom & novelty that this game possesses, gives me BOTW vibes having stepped into the insane 3D scope of Hyrule. TOTK is almost the perfect rendition of that world, but the novelty isn’t there like it was for TOTK or like it is here for BG3.

Can’t wait to dive more into this game.

 

[Furozen]

P.S Let me know if I missed a game you'd like added to the poll.

Jagged Alliance 3

 

[Rendered Tangent]

Of the games I've played on that list, which is only three, I'd say Resident Evil 4 Remake.

I was very impressed by it.

 

[Alan Wake]

Tears of the Kingdom just confirmed once more that Zelda is not for me.

My answer is Resident Evil 4. So happy it turned out to be even more amazing than the original.

I'd like to make a shout out for Bramble: The Mountain King too. What an experience that was.

 

[Handel]

BG3 currently, followed by Zelda TOTK. Absolutely amazing year so far, an all time great and the best since 2017.

 

[Pakoe]

Baldurs Gate 3 easily. This has been an okay year so far, but that game just blew my mind.

 

[rofif]

To the other brave 2 souls who also voted for Forspoken.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I know that it'll be Baldurs 3 when I get round to playing it but out of all the games listed I'd go with the Dead Space remake, it was awsome. It's how a remake should be done. A rare game that made me actually want to see it through to the end even though i'd played the originals to death.

The lighting, levels, monsters, sounds and ambience of the whole thing, perfect

 

[Topher]

Changed my vote from Hogwart's Legacy to Baldur's Gate 3. I hope Starfield is good enough to challenge BD3. That will mean we get another potential all-timer one month apart from each other.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

So many good fucking games this year. Gonna go down as a one of the best years in gaming.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Okay. Who put Redfall on the list?

From the list, I'd have to go with HiFi Rush just because I've played that one. As a cheapass $20 game buyer this is my potential 2024 or 2025 game list.

 

[amigastar]

So many good fucking games this year. Gonna go down as a one of the best years in gaming.

It is very good one of the best.
It's so good actually that people forget about smaller games like "Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew" coming out on 17th August.

 

[geary]

So many good fucking games this year. Gonna go down as a one of the best years in gaming.

And we still have Armored Core 6, Starfield, Alan Wake 2, Avatar, Spiderman, Lies of P, Mortal Kombat 1, AC: Mirage, Lords of the Fallen, Cities Skyline 2, Alone in the Dark, Stalker 2 (possible). Each half of this year would put to shame every year in the past 10 years.

 

[F0rneus]

I voted for RE4 but let's face it, it's Baldur's Gate III.

 

[thuGG_pl]

BG3,, and it will be the same at the end of the year.

 

[rofif]

So many good fucking games this year. Gonna go down as a one of the best years in gaming.

Wouldn’t go that far but it’s good. It’s finally a good year

 

[Aguero9320]

Sadly I've only played Diablo IV and Hi-Fi Rush yet so voted for Diablo.

Do own Zelda but haven't started it. Waiting for a sale on Hogwarts and on having time/Xbox version for Baldur's.

 

[BootsLoader]

I think Zelda is the winner.

 

[SublimeCorruptor]

Definitely Age of Wonders 4.
Star wars for casual only goty.

 

[Kvally]

Hi-Fi Rush for me so far. I haven't ever played a game like it. It's just so good, so smooth, vibrant, and most importantly, fun to play.

 

[Inanilmaz]

Baldurs Gate 3 looks like a beast of a game

 

[Solidus_T]

Previously I would have said it's a toss-up between RE4 Remake, TOTK, and FFXVI, but Baldur's Gate 3 gets it easy no contest really - even with all of these amazing games releasing. We still have Armored Core VI, Spiderman 2, and Starfield coming. What a year in gaming.

 

[Chuck Berry]

The Order 1886

 

[LakeOf9]

I love TOTK and it’s my GOTY but I hope BG3 wins. TOTK is amazing but Larian deserves recognition for what they achieved

 

[Raven117]

Haven't had a chance to play BG3. So I don't know.

As of now, its Zelda, but man...Hogwarts/FFXVI are just slightly...SLLLIIIIGHTLY behind. I was surprised by how much I liked Hogwarts.....FFXVI, there was enough good music, combat and characters to get it up there (though the story, ultimately, didn't deliver on its promise of act 1).

This fall, I will play BG3 and Starfield.

 

[The Stig]

TOTK will win and I'd say rightly so, just like the previous game it's a masterpiece. I just wish it ran better.

Despite it's flaws I played the heck out of Jedi survivor on PS5. Good game. Also shout out to RE4 remake. When they added mercenaries it was the cherry on top. *chef's kiss*

My personal game of the year is dead space remake. the graphics, the lighting, the weapons. I love it all.

honorable mentions: Boltgun, Trepang 2, System shock, Jagged Alliance 3,

NOTE - I have not got around to BG3. My GF is playing it and it looks excellent. I will likely get it once I have finished my current Dead Space remake NG+ run

 

[X-Wing]

Split between Baldur's Gate 3 and Final Fantasy XVI

 

[Maestr0]

The problem that I have with BG3 that's it's entire essence is cut in half. As I'd play D&d in the last years, I found myself invested into my characters, but BG3 make the mistake IMO, to not have the possibilities to play as a DM, so it's fault is grave, as a gameplay perspective but it doesn't take away the full quality of the player gameplay. It's the 2nd best game of the year for me, take it as you want but my disappointment is still here and I hope they come with a dlc to play as such

Split between Baldur's Gate 3 and Final Fantasy XVI

BG3 hasnt released on PS5 yet, how are you gauging it as your GOTY?
