At the beginning of this year (or end of previous, w/e ... precisely after last PFH) there was not single doubt of my mind that BG-3 will be no competition winner of GOTY ...
Now, as i watch Hogwards and reactions on it ... im not quite sure, there is serious competition at least.
I don't think so. Too much controversy around it. The problem is both sides have good points to make. For myself I don't think its fair to judge gamers on playing it, but also my commitment as an ally would preclude me purchasing it myself.
I have watched a few reviews, and a fair bit of gameplay and there is good and bad. I think Girlfriend Reviews got it right when they called it aggressively mediocre. Great combat, mediocre story and worldbuilding, few choices that matter. I think if people were being honest they would admit it's not 'quite' the game we were all hoping for.
BG3 on the other hand is going to slap and hard. I think is a sure contender for GOTY.
