I find it difficult to agree that there were 50 games deserving of a "Top" list this year and TotK was certainly not even close to the best game of the year.

Zelda TotK has already won GOTY from some sites, in top of my mind are IGN and Polygon, so I see no problem at all for it to be on top, Between Baldur's Gate 3 and Zelda TotK there was no other game deserving that title this year.

It was an amazing year for gaming and I agree that there are lots of games deserving to be mentioned in this list, but as for Game of the Year title, the only two games close enough to win it, are Zelda and Baldur's Gate.

Between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Zelda TotK there was no other game deserving that title this year.

TotK isn't a top-10 game this year. It's just an expansion to BotW (which was amazing) with a couple new mechanics slapped on -- so exactly like an expansion. BG3 is great, but it exists in these two simultaneous states; there is a massive world, game, and population of that world, then at the same time it's just not that complex or engaging. IDK, BG3 is my game of the year, but that's because there wasn't much this year. Elden Ring would have my vote if it was just a little bit better, but it's not. AC6 might end up being a better FromSoft game as the years go on and replayability becomes more of a factor, tbh.

There is a strong argument for Mario Wonder to be the game of the year. It's the first genuinely fresh entry in a series spanning five decades, since Galaxy came out. And, honestly Alan Wake 2 is more of a storytelling, artistic, and world-design achievement than any of those other games.
