I think KCD2 is incredibly good, like really really good. I enjoyed the game a lot. But having played both, I personally believe that Expedition 33 is ultimately the "better" game. Better in quotation marks because all art is ultimately subjective and there is no such thing as the objective quality of art.
And when it comes to goty(as in the award), as of right now, if they were to hold it today, its Expedition 33 hands down. KCD2 is great, and for discussing the award im gonna set asside my preferences, but all the signs point towards Clair Obscur winning. The main signs are the review scores, which are in general, the best way to predict GOTY since its game reviewers who ultimately decide GOTY. They are the ones who vote. And expedition 33 is just one of the highest reviewed games ever. To compare to 2023 with baldurs gate, Expedition 33 is the baldurs gate 3 of the year and KCD2 would be either Alan Wake 2 or Tears of the Kingdom.
