We’re less than a month away from The Game Awards and just yesterday, host and creator Geoff Keighley announced this year’s nominees.
It’s no secret that 2023 has been stacked. I’d even go as far as saying that it was nigh impossible to make it through this year without developing a backlog.StarfieldandBaldur’s Gate 3(PS5) landed on the same day, as didMarvel’s Spider-Man 2andSuper MarioBros. Wonder. Usually, it’s pretty easy to pick out the year’s GOTY contenders but 2023 brought us so many that we were guaranteed a couple of snubs. Well, with the nominations now in, we know thatBaldur’s Gate 3andAlan Wake 2are leading the pack.
