Polygon have an article with predictions:
https://www.polygon.com/awards/450195/game-of-the-year-game-awards-frontrunners
Currently saying Astro Bot, Metaphor ReFantazio, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Balatro, Silent Hill 2 and Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
I could easily see that being the list. To me, it seems like it's Helldivers vs. Dragon Age for that sixth slot.

Having looked at Veilguard's reviews again, I sort of suspect it's going to go the way of Starfield here, even though this is a less stacked year overall. I think its reception is just too mixed and they'll go with something that has proven to have more universal appeal even though it also had kind of 'eh' reviews, like Helldivers.
Despite being lower rated, I think Dragon Age is more beloved by major critics than Starfield was. At least, that's how a lot of the major critics are talking as well as the general vibe.
