The Game Awards 2023 Nominations: Alan Wake 2, Baldur’s Gate 3 Lead the Pack With Eight Noms Each (Full List)

First I’ve heard of Alan Wake 2 (I played some of the previous game and it didn’t stick). Any good?

I haven't played it because it is a epic store exclusive. If it comes to Steam I will give it a try. Been hearing good things about it.

Opencritic average 89. It incorporates some bleeding edge visual technologies but imo visuals a good game does not make.

If you look at screens without said visuals though the game looks pretty sad.

For the nominations though I don’t know which it would win. It won’t get GOTY or best story against bg3. Best Art Direction would be tough against a game like Hi-Fi Rush, as would Audio Design / Score+Music.

I thought it was a pretty good year for gaming but a lot of the games i’ve found to be amazing aren’t even on the list. Seems like big names and big publishers only.

Through Dec. 6 at 6 p.m. PT, fans will be able to help choose the winners in all categories via online voting on thegameawards.com. In addition, for the second year in a row, fans can vote for the Game Awards nominees on the award show’s official Discord server (as well as join a live watch party on Dec. 7 and react to the winners in real time).

I think Baldur's Gate 3 is going to walk away with everything they are nominated for.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Hi-Fi Rush takes music over BG3. That game is developed entirely around it’s kick-ass soundtrack.
