GOTY 2025

No contest

Putting aside how it's not even out yet, recency bias is really strong. Would have a much better chance if it was released in the fall.

Contest - Death Stranding 2. Kojimbo won't let players down.

GTA6 is going to dominate

[Yakito]

Surely you can see how wrong they statement is seeing how we're just starting February, right?

There is a good argument, if this game can break the barriers if the genre. Like BG3 did, if only cRPG fans purchased BG3 it would not have done half as well but it brought in a lot more people.

my boy monster hunter is going to double if not triple the sales of KCD2 and stay consistently relevant over the next few years.

Garbage of the Year 2025? If that is what you are saying OP you would be right.

[Nezuko Pizza Delivery]

One of the best games ever made

[CheeseProphet]

This will easily be GOTY 2025. GTA6 2026

[Caldrin]

Will have to play it of course but from the reviews I have seen already its a contender for sure..

ez work.
Single Mom Simulator 6 wont come out this year anyway

[Heuristicus]

It will definitely be one of the nominees. Really depends on what HL 3 and GTA 6 are doing.

Can’t wait to finally play as a female in GTA 6 the world is evolving

It won't win GOTY, not because it won't be good but because it has the misfortune of being released in the same year as GTA 6.
Even if GTA 6 turns out to be a disappointment, there's supposed to be plenty of great games this year, Doom the Dark Ages, Splitfiction (Studio has already won GOTY before), Ghost of Yotei, Fable could come in clutch, Borderlands 4 could impress(Though unlikely), Subnautica 2, Judas, Mafia The Old Country, Outer Worlds 2 (Could be good), Dying Light The Beast and Expedition 33 looks to be shaping up well.
There's many I didn't list as well and many big games like The Wolf Among Us 2 that could possibly drop this year.
