GOTY Picks Blog is a site that tallies all of the GOTY awards from every media outlet. Almost all major awards are in, so the GOTY race is just about over and the site evidently feels it can now crown a winner. The final results for 2017 are as follows, in order of number of outlets who named each game as their GOTY:
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - 179
Horizon Zero Dawn - 48
Super Mario Odyssey - 25
NieR: Automata - 12
Persona 5 - 10
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds - 9
Assassin's Creed Origins - 6
Divinity: Original Sin II - 6
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - 4
Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus - 4
Prey - 3
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice - 2
Night in the Woods - 1
Thimbleweed Park - 1
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy - 1
Here are some stats for how Zelda: Breath of the Wild compares to previous "Big Winners". The numbers below are simply how many GotY awards the leading game got out of the total number awarded that year, followed by the equivalent percentage, and then by the number of unique games named as GotY by at least one outlet:
Star Wars KOTOR: 18/39, 46.15%, field of 11
Half-Life 2: 21/55, 38.18%, field of 11
Resident Evil 4: 35/61, 57.38%, field of 13
Oblivion: 40/113, 35.40%, field of 11
Bioshock: 47/158, 29.75%, field of 15
Fallout 3: 69/204, 33.82%, field of 16
Uncharted 2: 111/213, 52.11%, field of 12
Red Dead Redemption: 111/291, 38.14%, field of 22
Skyrim: 227/403, 56.33%, field of 18
The Walking Dead: 75/385, 19.48%, field of 24
The Last of Us: 249/524, 47.52%, field of 25
Dragon Age Inquisition: 134/410, 32.68%, field of 46
The Witcher 3: 257/439, 58.54%, field of 26
Uncharted 4, 165/410, 40.24%, field of 26
Zelda: Breath of the Wild, 179/311, 57.55%, field of 15
In absolute numbers, Zelda is #4 in GOTY awards behind The Witcher 3, The Last of Us, and Skyrim; in terms of percentage, it's #2 behind The Witcher 3.
Well, that's a wrap for 2017. Tune in again in late November, when the 2018 GOTY race will start up.
