Lastly, PUBG will absolutely be remembered 20 years from now because, not only is everyone playing it and loving it, but it will also be recognized as a paradigm shifting moment in multiplayer game design. The entire industry is studying the battle royale phenomenon.

We'll see. Check back with me in 20 years.

PUBG will be remembered, but more like WoW than anything like a Mario, or Zelda... GotY SP games are timeless.

Great SP games will always be played again, especially Nintendo's GotY SP games.

Yup.
 
I haven’t played either BOTW or PUBG yet however GOTY has to go to one of those based on objective information. Both seem to have redefined the genres they were in. Both will have significant impact on future games from other developers. Both kept the attention of gamers well beyond their release week. Both gained steam after release. BOTW set records for console atttach rate and revitalized Nintendo from a long slump while PUBG set records on Steam with minimal marketing. Multiple people inside the industry have admitted that they couldn’t get either one of those games out of their mind.

Horizon:ZD is the best looking and most polished open world game ever but I think it’s overrated. It’s a solid A in production values and graphics. B in gameplay. C in story and character development. Story had potential but the flat characters and acting hurt its impact. I thought the gameplay was solid but didn’t find the sandbox revoltionary or to have a super addicting hook.

GOTY isn't objective. So, no.

Look up Zelda and E3 combo for buzz....
Zelda reviews and keep a eye on the awards (IT WILL receive) for buzz....
How many Switch's did its userbase sell? How about more copies of Zelda sold than Switch's on the market.

PUBG just sells good

Yeah, 2018 on Xbox is looking much better than what the PS is offering for me. From your list I will add a couple more I want:

Sea of thieves
Crackdown
State of Decay
Ori and the Will of the Wisps

The Last Night
Gigantic
Black Desert
Ashen
Forza Horizon 4
Halo

and of course unannounced. On the PS side, the only thing of interest that they announced for 2018 is God of War.

Yeah, that's pretty good, especially with a new Halo on the Horizon. For me anyway.
 
It eclipses all of your criteria you laid out over every game, and it does This by a large margin. It's not that Hard to see the flaws in your argument. It's also the biggest game. The Land is endless in it.

No, I agree...but Minecraft came out in 2009. Therefore ineligible for this years award no?
 

Heard something about Gigantic's dev closing or getting cut way back or something. It was in connection with the Torchlight/Hob dev closing. Can't recall the specifics. Don't know if it'll affect Gigantic or not, but just thought I'd mention it.
 
MS's offerings look pretty good (not for me personally, but objectively) -- particularly if they can add Halo 6 to the end of the year. It's certainly a big step up from 2017.

Nintendo's offerings look pretty weak in 2018. Hopefully more will be announced.

I feel like Halo 6 would be a 2019 title. I thought they traditionally announced Halo a year before, but I am hoping we do get one. It will be 2 years since the release of Halo 5. Not sure if they are on the same schedule as Forza Motorsport, which is every two years?
