Exactly. It's pretty hard to vote for a category when you don't even know half of the games. When it came to the most innovative category I imagine most people had only heard of Starfield. Remnant 2 was good, but it was always a more niche title and it got largely overshadowed by BG3 releasing only a week later.

And of the indie titles I had only heard of Shadows of Doubt which I think is really innovative. It's sort of a procedurally generated detective game where you're solving crimes while technically also committing crimes. But it's in early access and is not an easily accessible game, so I don't really fault it for not doing the rounds in the gaming circles.
