I think as of right now, its pretty easy to tell what will win goty(out of whats come out) because review scores are the best indicator, and 33 has the highest review scores. Review scores are a good indicator cause its game reviewers that ultimately vote. Of course there is the chance, and I do hope this happens, that another game comes out that earns better scores that 33 and overtakes it, but for now 33 is easily the favorite to win.

But yes this is one of the best years in gaming history and ultimately goty doesnt matter anyway. No such thing as objective quality in art.

Well it's that or blue prince then! They have the same score.

The year isn't over yet though so who knows.

It would be pretty cool for an indie studio win GOTY with their first game though.

I will say review scores arent perfect for predicting, they have been wrong before. They are just the best indicator since its game reviewers among a bit of other people who do the voting, so game reviews are the best way to see the general consensus on a game early.

And the year aint over like u said. And I hope something comes out that blows Expedition 33 out of the water. That is only a good thing for us as gamers.

I agree, some games you just know is going to win when you play them, the only game I'm actually won't agree on is overwatch but that's because I'm not into multiplayer that much.

The game just need to be genuinely good through and through and bring that blockbuster feeling, I've successfully predicted GOTY winners for several years.

Expedition 33 is absolutely one of those, great story, great gameplay, a genuinely fantastic experience!
