[BrunoCoel]

Don’t agree with top 2.

Baldur’s Gate should be lower and Zelda higher.

 

[Yoshichan]

Don’t agree with top 2.

Baldur’s Gate should be lower and Zelda higher.

Zelda should be higher than first place? God damn.

 

[Woopah]

Don’t agree with top 2.

Baldur’s Gate should be lower and Zelda higher.

Zelda should be higher than number 1?

 

[tmlDan]

why do we pay attention to edge, it's tiring tbh

wtf is this lol

VR Game of the Year: 3. Synapse, 2. Horizon: Call of the Mountain, 1. Humanity

 

[Interfectum]

GOTY:
1. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

 

[Tomeru]

Don’t agree with top 2.

Baldur’s Gate should be lower and Zelda higher.

Yeah, bg3 deserves the 1st place.

 

[Magic Carpet]

I guess Asgards Wrath 2 did not make it in time for the list.
I keep forgetting HL Alyx came out years ago but I just got done playing it........ Everything else is such a massive step down I'm ruined for new VR games.

 

[BrunoCoel]

Zelda should be higher than first place? God damn.

Zelda should be higher than number 1?

That’s right. It should be 0.

 

[Topher]

Fairly predictable for Edge really

 

[ungalo]

EDGE always playing edgelords except with Nintendo.

 

[Banjo64]

Nintendo sweeping it. What a year.

 

[Robb]

GOTY:
1. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

But tbh you can’t go wrong with either of the top 2. Well deserved.

Maybe I'm just getting older...but Zelda's over excessive amounts of dialogue and children's story bored me to death.

Oh boy.

Older people should understand the gameplay on Zelda is unmatched.

bullshit awards. Zelda had some of the worst rewards i seen for quests.

yay i did this lengthy stuff and got a chest with a sapphire in it. weapons still break etc.

 

[Mozzarella]

Where is the EDGE website? every time i tried to reach it i was directed to GamesRadar+ but those are a different outlets as far as i know, even their GOTY was Baldur's Gate 3.
So where do we find EDGE?

As for the awards it was expected, i mean they awarded Skyward Sword in 2011, those guys are massive Zelda fans.

 

[near]

Humanity and Cocoon made their top 10. This is why I'm a subscriber baby.

 

[tommib]

Lovely list.

 

[LakeOf9]

Great list.

TOTK, BG3, and AW2 are all such amazing games, what a year

 

[FoxMcChief]

Pretty much a perfect list.

 

[Majukun]

happy that zelda got at least one goty over baldur's gate.
they are both amazing games and pretty much on par on my list, but with bg3 coming later in the year and being the underdog, it swept first place on most lists and awards

 

[FoxMcChief]

Ctrl+F Final Fantasy

Good job Edge.

Added bonus, Quest 3, very nice. I’m about to pick mine up in a hour or two.

 

[mansoor1980]

not a single mention of starfield?

 

[FoxMcChief]

not a single mention of starfield?

Totally understandable. Not for everyone. Just 13 million.

They've gotten a few, but Baldur's Gate 3 is leading by a good margin.

 

[March Climber]

I had to do a double take, that magazine cover is very 'Game Informer' in terms of style.

 

[Black_Mamba]

After all the excitement about 2023 being one of the best years ever for gaming, the GOTY lists so far look quite melancholic.

 

[Dazraell]

Meanwhile at Sony:

This post actually made me laugh out loud

What is the Edge cover from, it looks cool but I dunno what game

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Congratulations TOK

Den of Wolves

 

[Tams]

Impeccable taste.

And not a single mention of a certain space game.

 

[Davesky]

 

[Zathalus]

Impeccable taste.

And not a single mention of a certain space game.

Come on now, Dead Space was pretty good.

Cocoon is AMAZING! I'm 80% complete with it. But is Season on PS5 really that good? I've never played it.

 

[GigaBowser]

Same company Gamesradar is owned by Future Publishing.

 

[Saber]

ToK at the top heh? I'm totally fine with that. Looks like Nintendo also won as developer in their book, which I believe is the truth.

Spider-man 2 losing GotY and not a single mention to Starfield means that things are finally in order.

 

[Zathalus]

Gamespot is far more popular then Polygon. Even if it wasn't... it's Polygon, come on now let's not be crazy.

You are right.

 

[Duchess]

Zelda should be higher than number 1?

When Steve Jobs was with Apple, he was pissed that Wozniak was employee #1, while he was employee #2.

So, when he was able, Steve granted himself the position of #0.

(I'm not making this up)

 

[Musashipan]

Edge never disappoints
Totk is the best game of 2023 and possibly the best game of all time

 

[Madflavor]

the big 3 pal Edge IGN Polygon annnnnnd GigaBowsers Choice

Polygon is one of “The Big 3”?

Are you high? None of those three would be considered by anyone who knows what they’re talking about to be “The Big 3” of GotY awards by the way.

 

[Kacho]

That top 10 is pretty good imo. No Spider-Mang 2 or Starfield is hilarious. Two of the biggest games of the year. Ouch.
