Baldur's Gate 3 is getting an unusual huge amount of hype online for a CRPG. Even from people who usually aren't into it. Plus, unlike Divinity and such, it's actually a big budget AAA game, and it shows.
I think the reception, including the media's reception, is going to be bigger than what people here think.
I myself looked over it when thinking about the potential list of nominees earlier this year, but now I think it'll get the nom.
Right now I'm thinking
Tears of the Kingdom
REmake 4
Spider-Man 2
Baldur's Gate 3
Starfield
Super Mario Bros Wonder
If you think that SF6 still has a chance for the nom, let's not forget that Mortal Kombat is releasing in September, and MK tends to be the more media/"casual" appreciated game nowadays, thanks to its massive solo content. SF6 might have the biggest solo content in a fighting game as of right now, but I would be shocked if MK didn't saw it coming too and made even more, given how they tend to just be massive in content. Also, the graphics look ridiculously good.
Obviously not released yet, but given how Fallout 4 of all games won GOTY when it released, don't overlook Starfield for the potential winner. The BGS hype is real among the media. Imo it's the biggest foe to TOTK if it delivers even half of what it promises.
