Yeah, feel like GOWR deserved to be a close 2nd at the very least, it was my GOTY and I played both pretty extensively and loved them.
But that is the way it is... being multiplatform certainly gave ER an edge for the awards season.

I realized that after Santa Monica didn't push the graphics to PS5 level.
It was the only think that Ragnarok lacked
everything else is really splendid... really a missed opportunity to make maybe of the very best games of all the time.
Said that Elden Ring is not a graphic looker too... the difference I guess is that you expect that form a GoW game and don't from a Souls game.

Not for me but no surprise here. Elden Ring is basically the BOTW of Souls games. Congratulations to From Software. Perhaps one of these days, they'll actually release a game that I want to play.
No the difference is one is a new IP and has the freshness factorI realized that after Santa Monica didn't push the graphics to PS5 level.

Also was a lot of peoples first time playing a Souls game
Elden Ring also stood out against alot of poorly designed open worlds that were giving genre fatigue
Horizon Forbidden West would have won GOTY 2021 easily (no competition at all) and GOW Ragnarok GOTY 2022 if not for Elden Ring.
Ragnarok is still getting 2nd place, everyone else is very far behind.

Horizon FW released this year....
Just look at the massive upgrade in ambition from FROMSOFT's previous games to Elden Ring. A world much more massive than they've ever created, more bosses and enemies than ever before. Weapons, skills, playstyles, new moves... horse riding..ect.
Souls-like games are already favorites to win the award any year they release, but you take Souls-like and add open world to it... and you're hitting another MAJOR demographic of gamer that loves both those styles of games individually, and when combined it exponentially increases the chances.
God of War Ragnarok was fine, but the game does have some issues.. and quite frankly, as others have said.. it just didn't push ahead enough technically and ambition-wise. Don't get me wrong, it was a lot more of what you already loved... but certain things held it back.. so ER was the easy favorite to win.
Boy TLOU 2 winning the most awards ever with over 300 awards sure is a feat.
I know but I meant if the release was in 2021 as planned it would have won easily against It Takes Two (lol). Now HFW is not in the conversation because people are voting for GOW instead (and GOW is also getting overshadowed by ER).
Bad luck for Sony this year

Congratulations to fromsoft. I'll never play their games because I hate being frustrated, but they'll probably do just fine without me.
