I was referring to The Game Awards and their claim on crowning the “Game of the Year”.

I know, but this past year in particular, there wasn’t much contention over what the game of the year was.

I think going by overall mainstream appeal and zeitgeist it’s correct. Everybody was talking about BG3 that year, even people who are usually not fans of the genre. So in that sense I agree that 2023 was the year of BG3.
On the games’ merit alone as standalone pieces of art abstracted from context I think Alan Wake 2 puts up a good fight.
