Why isn't Doom Eternal nominated for best music?
Don't kid now
My music tastes must be way out, because Ori and the Will of the Wisps has some of the best music i have heard and its not even nominated for best music.. But i am also old and i enjoy the feel good type of music.
I like that they specify the PC version of Cyberpunk. And also, Final Fantasy VII Remake for best music. Hands down.
