For me Valheim is the game of the year. Why this? I spent 750h in it. No other game had gotten more attention from me. I played Cyberpunk for about 170h, a finished AAA title, with more bugs than Valheim, the Early Access game. If a game is really good and successful, it should be allowed to be nominated, even if it isn't actually finished yet. Valheim is more playable than some other titles and in my opinion it more than deserves to have been nominated.
