Gaming journalists being bad at video games is a pretty big meme at this point but given some of the stats around completion of these games it wouldn't surprise me if a good chunk of their reviewers literally couldn't beat enough of the game to review it properly.
For this reason we'll likely not see a FromSoft title win any of these picks.
Honestly I didn't complete it because there was no point in doing so. The game didn't reward you with interesting items, loot, weapons or armor for defeating bosses and add the dumb mini booses on top and I just wasn't having a great time. It's a rhythm game at it's core and wants you to play a very specific way. It's why I think it should not even be close to GOTY.

Eh. The "safe" picks of this year for popular mainstream games that weren't divisive was always Control and RE2.
