Go home Polygon, you're drunk.
And they didn't even list KC:D2
That last game didn't break 80 on metacritic. This second one would be quite the unlikely game of the year contender.
EDIT: Also just remembered that game doesn't come out until 2025.
The first one has a huge following, metacritic is terrible for some games. Look at the steam reviews.
And damn you're right, I guess they pushed it back. I thought it was coming out this year.
Metacritic and OpenCritic scores are the best way to gauge whether or not they'll win GOTY at "The Game Awards" though, since the same people who awarded those scores are largely responsible for nominating and selecting winners at that show. So it's possible that as bugs were ironed out in patches and over the subsequent years these outlets all found their "Kingdom Come: Deliverance guy" who came to the game late that perhaps this new one does better, but it would have to do a lot better to be a real contender.
That's true, I forget that goty stuff is based off the critics vs the players.
