The Game Awards has grown in reputation, with its top prize - Game of the Year - being highly coveted. It's increasingly viewed as a significant indicator of the year's best games.

An analysis of past GOTY trends shows a troubling homogeneity, suggesting a recurring pattern in the kinds of games consistently nominated and recognized by The Game Awards.
