There’s no doubt that each game there is a tough competitor - in fact, each and every one of them have received glowing reviews from us at TRG over the last year. We gaveBaldur’s Gate 3, SuperMarioBros. Wonder,andResident Evil 4five out of five stars, whileTears of the KingdomandAlan Wake 2scored four and a half stars out of five, andSpider-Man 2earned itself four out of five stars.
Interestingly, as has been highlighted in aTwitter post,Baldur’s Gate 3andAlan Wake 2are tied for the highest amount of nominations at The Game Awards - they’ve both been nominated for eight, so we’ll just have to wait and see which one earns more.Marvel’s Spider-Man 2has received seven nominations, whileTears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Bros. WonderandHi-Fi Rushhave each earned five.
