God of War: Ragnarok leads The Game Awards nominations for 2022

As is usually the case with award shows, there are some 'interesting' choices amidst the nominees. Elden Ring, for instance, is up for Best Narrative, which is absolutely bizarre given what an incomprehensibly directionless mess it is, while the critically acclaimed Immortality has nods for Best Direction, Best Narrative, and Best Performance, but got overlooked for Best Indie Game.

I will, however, say that it is weird to see Dune: Spice Wars, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Total War: Warhammer 3,Two Point Campus, and Victoria 3 together in the same category of Best Sim/Strategy. I get that there's an element of arbitrariness inherent in the categorization of videogames, but if you're lumping the Rabbids in with a zany management sim and a Paradox grand strategy game, maybe it's time to step back and reconsider.

The 2022 Game Awards will also feature a new category, Best Adaptation, which honors"game-inspired projects across entertainment." Three of the nominees in the category come from Netflix, while the other two are theatrical releases:

The nominations are a joke. It's the most hyped now instead of the best. There are games which received average scores at best from reviewers and users alike.

On December 7 wow that’s my birthday.

I hear Tunic is pretty good.

They seriously put Diablo Immortal into Best Mobile game and Overwatch 2 intp best multiplayer. It's becoming more clear that they're choosing the most hyped games, not necessarily the best ones.

As good as Elden ring was, GOW should sweep most of the awards. Also Arcane deserves an award. Better than cyberpunk hands down

Honestly, the most shockiing thing to me here is that I actually recognized two names in the Content Creator Category. It was usually just a bunch of names I never heard of and then afterwards never heard again.
