RE: Should God of War: Ragnarok have won the Game of the Year award?

I'm sure this game is great and I hope to play it one day, even though I haven't played it yet. I haven't played the first God of War game yet and I want to play that one too, so hopefully I'll have enough time for all of them. I've watched a little bit of the game on YouTube but not all of it because I want to be surprised when I play it.
