Summary

The Game Awards have revealed its list of GOTY nominees this year, which include Black Myth: Wukong.
However, despite its massive popularity earlier this year, Black Myth: Wukong has now become the lowest ever rated GOTY nominee.
This is also during a year in which highly-rated titles such as Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, and Silent Hill 2 were all snubbed.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Game Awards have finally dropped its list of 𝓰this year's GOTY nomine🌱es, and just as expected, almost nobody is happy with the results. That's 𝔉mainly because Elden Ring: Sha🃏dow of the Erdtree is on the list, despite being a DLC expansion, though there are plenty of other people unhappy about well-liked titles like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Silent Hill 2, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Helldivers 2, and Like A Dragon: ༒Infinite Wealth not making the cut.

Of course, to actually have your favorite included, another game would need to be cut - the question is which one? Outside of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Shadow of the Erdtree, the only title that you could make an argument for not deserving its place is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Black Myth: Wukong, as it🙈's actually the lowest ever rated title to become a GOTY nominee at The Game Awards, .

Black Myth: Wukong Is The Game Awards' Lowest Ever Rated GOTY Nominee

The problem is, literally every single other game that has ever been nominated for a GOTY award at The Game Awards has a higher score. The lowest score for a game before Black Myth: Wukong's nomination was jointly held by Control and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:A Plague Tale: Requiem, which could on Metacritic for a 🐷variety of reasons.

Other games that are quite close to Black Myth: Wukong's score include Stray (83), 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Resident Evil Village (84), and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:The Outer Worlds (85). Even 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Hearthstone were more highly-rated, but Black Myth: Wukong differs 🅺slightly in that there are games that wereꦑ released this year that are much more highly-rated, yet were snubbed for the grand prize anyway.

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth sits at a score of 89 on Metacritic, which probably has Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios wondering what it actually has to do to get a nomination, while other high-profile titles like Silent Hill 2 Remake, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, Helldivers 2, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Persona 3 Reload, and even 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: The Veilguard were all more h🌄ighly-rated than Black Myth: Wuꦫkong.

If we stand back and try to figure out exactly why Black Myth: Wukong made the list, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the fact that it smashed recor🃏ds on Steam when it launched probably has a lot to do with it. It's a pretty good game, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:which I even admit in my review, but it's massive commercial success has undoubtedly played a part in it grabbing top spot. Sales aren't a metric for quality though, as that wou💜ld mean Resident Evil 5 is the best in the series, and we both know that isn't true.
