seems like it's probably the overall top contender, with massive praise and rave reviews surrounding the RPG. With a gorgeous world, a star-studded

, and engaging turn-based gameplay, it's a truly unique masterpiece worthy of that GOTY title.

, and I honestly think they're probably right.

The stunning open-world RPG

is another top pick for GOTY. It basically takes everything that's great about the first one and builds upon it to create a worthy successor and must-play for all RPG fans.

Despite being a prequel,

who do view it as the worst in the DOOM franchise. Not to say that it isn't good, because it certainly is, but it does have a lot to live up to and might not secure that GOTY title because of this.

is absolute puzzle perfection, with complex challenges sure to keep you engaged from start to finish. There's really nothing else like it, especially not released this year, and it really stands out thanks to its unique premise and gameplay.

Split Fiction is another contender, and it has a special place in my heart with its charming storyline and superb co-op play. I didn't think the It Takes Two devs could top their last masterpiece, but they certainly matched and possibly exceeded it with this one.

Cozy gamers are also really loving Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, with its cute art style, endless gameplay options, and addictive gameplay. It's a seriously good time, especially if you're into games like Animal Crossing or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

, which would certainly be in the race if it were coming out this year, but there's still lots to look forward to. Borderlands 4, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, and Tales of the Shire are a few of the many games still slated for release before the end of 2025 that might jump into this race, but we won't know for sure until they're out.

So, what do you think, Destructoid? Will the GOTY be one of the stellar choices that have already been released, or something else on the horizon? If I had to pick, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 seems like the most deserving and popular choice, but a strong case can be made for any of the games I mentioned here, and I'm sure there also are others I missed.
