This list doesn’t include awards before 2014, because The Game Awards launched that year.
Well it’s listing only one game per year and BG seems to be the winner for 2023.
Not exactly. Per year are multiple games listed. Its just incredible that Zelda didn’t won a single award, based on this list.
It won awards, but it didn’t get the “overall game of the year” award from any of those 5 outlets. And, compared to baldurs gate 3 I think its quite easy to understand why. Totk was a well polished experience but it suffered quite a lot from “mile wide inch deep” syndrome IMHO. Probably one of the best games Nintendo has ever made, but it isn’t as good as baldur’s gate 3.
