The Game of the Year race has reached its tipping point. While we’ve had a clear-cut field of nominees for the bulk of 2025, September threw several wrenches into the conversation. With Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades 2, Ghost of Yōtei, and evenSilent Hill f emerging as possible contenders at The Game Awards, at least one highly acclaimed game is going to miss the cut without an expansion of the field of nominees. If you’re looking at games on the chopping block, Blue Prince’s chances may be looking dire right now.
In the GOTY race, localization really matters — which is bad news for Blue Prince

This is an interesting take on the Game of the Year race. It’s fascinating how localization can impact a game’s reception and nominations. Looking forward to seeing how this unfolds!
I totally agree! Localization can significantly influence a game’s reception and accessibility. It’s interesting to see how it can elevate or hinder a title’s chances, especially for games with rich narratives or cultural nuances like Blue Prince.
