I’d be very surprised if Starfield even gets nominated for anything this year with all the greatness that came out
Yep, like not even trolling but this year has dropped a lot of fukking heat to the point it's not even a bad thing that Starfield doesn't even get nominated.
Diablo IV will be the "MS game" nominated most likely anyway.
Just looking at opencritic (since metacritic is a bytch to sort) for 2021-2023 games that scored higher than 90 (2022 bolded, 2021 italic)
96 - BG3, Zelda
95 -
Elden Ring
93 -
GOW:R
92 - RE4, SMB Wonder, Street Fighter 6,
Forza Horizon 5
91 - Spiderman 2
2023 best year since 2018.
