There's been all kinds of buzz over each one of The Game Awards' Game of the Year nominees, with titles like Astro Bot going mainstream and fans sharing tons about Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

But as Polygon pointed out, things are extremely tight and there's no clear front-runner, so this should be really fun to predict and debate as the December 12 ceremony at 7:30 p.m. Eastern approaches.

Here are the nominees for Game of the Year from The Game Awards:

Astro Bot

Balatro

Black Myth: Wukong

Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

Metaphor: ReFantazio

Good luck to all of them!
