It's not nominated because people and critics are tired of the same open world pseudo RPG game. Same reason Starfield did not get nominated. Look at the nominations:

  • Alan Wake 2 (survival horror)
  • Baldur's Gate 3 (a proper RPG)
  • Spider Man 2 (it's Spiderman, simply flying around the city is fun)
  • Resident Evil 4 (remake of legendary survival horror game)
  • Super Mario Bros. Wonder (it's super Mario)
  • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (it's Zelda).

The only game there that could fit in the "open world pseudo RPG" genre is Zelda, but it's usually so well made and executed as a Zelda game that most people don't really care. People will play a Zelda game no matter the genre.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (it's Zelda).

Okay lets be real this game was mid AF and relied on silly mechanics and piggybacking off of BOTW
