Key information
A recent discussion on ResetEra highlights Baldur's Gate 3 and Elden Ring as the two highest-rated titles of the current generation. Both games currently hold a 96 score on Metacritic.
These titles notably surpassed the critical reception of other major franchises, specifically The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and God of War Ragnarok, both of which have previously secured Game of the Year honors.
Forum participants suggest that these two games represent the top contenders of the generation. The central debate focuses on which title would prevail if they competed for the same Game of the Year award.
While one user expressed a personal preference for Baldur's Gate 3 and predicted its victory, they acknowledged that such a hypothetical contest would likely result in an extremely close race.
