GOTY 2026 is the Weakest Field in Years

Comments

1. Aidenellis: people forgetting that 'weak' is a relative term - The Last Door or what?
2. Amir: game of the year should be about games that try new things too - Dawnwalker seems like more of the same
3. Echo Cipher: not sure what's happening but I played The Blood of Dawnwalker for 10 hours and the narrative just felt lazy to me, was expecting so much more after all the hype
4. Obsidian Pulse: what's with the diss on Dawnwalker, polygon crew didn't they have some interesting mechanics too
5. Ranacleo: what's with all this hand-wringing over GOTY 2026? phantom still holds up way better than most of these titles
6. Romanofreya: can't help but think they're being too harsh, I played Through the Fire and Flames and that's a game changer
7. Sana: please, a 'weakest field' because a few games didn't quite meet expectations? that's a cop-out when GTA 6 is just setting the bar so low this
8. Raviberg: haven't played this one but GTA 6's marketing has really set the bar for me now, guess we'll see how it actually stacks up
9. Miafischer: hard to remember 2025 when everyone was fawning over Blood of Dawnwalker now
