Metroid Dread says nah. But opinions so all good.

It was a delight to play.
That said, the competition simply wasn't very strong at all this year.

Returnal was phenomenal and gets my vote.

Interesting. I liked the 2016 reboot but I didn't find its gameplay that much different from original titles on PlayStation 2.
How is this 2021 game different and why it deserves a game of the year award?

it isn't much different... you have a dodge move, that's about all that's really new.
you have those portals you can zip towards, which in practice is basically a grapple hook mechanic that has a cute little graphical effect attached to it

"Coveted"? Who the hell covets a GoTY award in October from a no name site?
Also as always, who gives a flying shit what some random site thinks? We need less idiotic threads like this as the only thing that matters is what your personal GoTY is, not what some "journalist" thinks.

We already know the game of the year for the next twenty so whats the point?
Mobile Suit Gooch
Grundle: The Awakening
same. I just wished it was more like...y'know the PS2 era ones.

Psychonauts 2 was better. Heck I'd even rate Bowser's Fury better than Ratchet and I really liked Ratchet. I'd recommend the game to any PS5 owner, but game of the first 9 months of 2021 = the Year? That's just weird. I suppose next year they will include all games from October '21 - Sept '22.
Whatever. Is it a game that most would enjoy? Absolutely. Will I preorder the next one? Yes.

I think the praise for R&C is a bit over the top tbh. It's not like it's a bad game, but I don't put it anywhere near GOTY territory for me

It was good and visually stunning, but I wouldn't even put it in my top 5.
1. Returnal
2. Psychonauts 2
3. Metroid Dread
4. Deathloop
5. Resident Evil VIII

Haven't completed it yet but I've had a blast with it so far. Absolutely gorgeous looking, plays great and the story is interesting enough. Proper game.

I think mine, atm is something like
1.) Dread
2.) The World Ends With You NEO
3.) Psychonauts 2
4.) Returnal
5.) Dungeon Encounters.
Still got a good 3-4 months left with some major heavy hitters on the way.

Late year game releases miss that cut-off from most places and count in the next year.

Yep, which only further bolsters what I say about "GOTY" awards from websites/blogs. Completely meaningless and almost always posted around here to validate a console warriors views/opinion. Since they never feel secure in their own views.

Great game, my wife loves it as well, its really what made her get into gaming during the ps3 days and warhawk.

Stupid. Removed any credibility from themselves by not waiting. Whatever you think about FH5 and Halo Infinite, they are both coming out in 2021, so almost everyone is talking about that timing instead of their choice of Ratchet. Just saying there is an arbitrary 'cutoff' doesn't justify anything - they make that up themselves. Nothing to stop them making these choices much later.
And that's leaving aside the fact that they can pick such a phoned in, by the numbers Ratchet game (which I still liked) as being worthy of an award. It's actually the first Ratchet I haven't finished in a long time (although I will at some point.) That's a little depressing for the state of this year.
