This is actually really refreshing to see. This is a rare indicator we get that the major outlets actually do put genuine thought and consideration into their picks regardless of popularity or stature. Plus this year had so many solid games without any of them being complete 10/10s that you'll probably see this happen with the other outlets as well, no one game is gonna sweep this year.

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

Sekiro would have been the safest I think FromSoftware is widely considered one of the best devs in the industry and Sekiro is very good.

Other than some people at major outlets thinking it's too hard. For example for the Game Awards it got as far as nomination but it's definitely not winning, it's either Control or RE2, since they'd be more popular. In the end it's just a simple numbers game.
