My guess is the lack of any nominations for it, is a political statement against JKR's "anti-trans" rhetoric, which is idiotic considering politics has no place in gaming awards, as it shows a pre-disposed bias, which questions the integrity of the process.  Also she had nothing to do with the game whatsoever.  Didn't even consult.

Hogwarts Legacy should definitely be in the running for GOTY. I disagree about the story being great I feel it's more cardboard cookie cutter but it does have a solid pace and the world keeps you engaged. What makes it special is the combat system which is creative, challenging, and unlike any other RPG.

If you don't mind a more PG13 game Hogwarts Legacy should be on your play list even if you aren't a Harry Potter fan. 


-My Starfield note is for a game with a storyline loosely and I mean very loosely based on exploration the game doesn't encourage or really allow natural exploration unless you force it yourself.


-I just finished Jedi Survivor (yes Im late) and back into BG3.
