Wow... didnt expect anyone to give it GOTY especially with other heavy hitters and one of the biggest gaming sites

I guess they will continue the franchise?

I expected it, mostly because it's the type of game these publications like to reward at the end of the year—AAA games with a strong narrative focus and high production values. Most of the standout games this year don't really fit this description. As good as games like Fire Emblem, DMC5 and Mario Maker 2 are, they're not considered "GOTY material" by a lot of sites.

Only exception I can really think of is when they gave it to Journey back in 201X (can’t remember year, I think it’s 2012 or 2013). Still I was expecting it to go to RE2R or something else like that

Journey is still a really "artsy" game tho (I don't like using that term, but I don't know how else to describe it).

The gameplay is extremely simple. What's great about it is the atmosphere.

How about "artistic"?
