Game of The Year 2019: 10 bright candidates

At the end of each year, we get together to see what are the best games of the year.

2019 is full of great blockbusters. Recently, The Game Awards announced the nominations for the game of the year. Their list is rife with excellent names. Here are 10 bright names for the title of game of the year

10. Untitled Goose Game

The game inspired by internet memes and jokes has been nominated as the best indie game of the year. However, the game does not stop there. With interesting gameplay that is easy to learn, simple and colorful graphics make the game world more fun. Untitled Goose Game is really special.

The goose in the game is full of life as it flaps its wings and screams uncontrollably. Not to mention, people in can be great enemies. Their reactions and actions merely amuse you. Untitled Goose Game is a game that brings a new breeze with a very special look.

9. Apex Legends

It’s hard not to mention Apex Legends this year. The game launched in early February and captivated the whole world. Fortnite then found itself a formidable opponent in the free battle royale genre. Respawn Entertainment, the developer behind the Titanfall series, introduces us to the world of Titanfall but with a completely different gameplay.

Apex Legends is still popular today. Because it’s free, anyone who owns a console or PC can play the game. In addition, the battle royale genre and the hero shooter have built the success of the game. A three-player team game with the aim of being the last surviving team worthy of a slot for the game of the year.

8. Control

Control is on The Game Awards’ Game of the Year nominees list and it totally deserves it. Control has impressive 4K graphics in the game, and it delivers a great story line. From the developer of the games Alan Wake and Quantum Break, Remedy Entertainment has created a game that everyone who plays must be satisfied.

Not only the graphics and elaborate plot, the combat system is also very interesting. The ability to remove a concrete block to block bullets is a very special action. At the time of Control’s release, the game was not talked about much to help it gain more recognition.

7. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Another nominee is Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. The game is considered the biggest Nintendo product released this year. The fans of the series are too familiar with the fast-paced and crowded battle system. In addition, the return of all smash characters made many fans excited. The game’s warrior lineup now has more than 80 characters, including new and old.

The game has many levels for you to play against each other. Now, you’re probably wondering why it’s on the 2019 list when the game came out in December 2018? Because games released in December are not included in that year’s Game of The Year nominations. So they are given a chance the next year.

6. Resident Evil 2 Remake

Capcom revives the classic Resident Evil with Resident Evil 2. Many believe this is a remaster, but the game is actually very different from the original. Capcom rebuilt the game from the ground up. Levels and plot have been changed to bring new content for veteran fans.

Resident Evil 2 also resurrects the third-person, behind-the-scenes perspective from many years ago. Horror games like Dead Space are the inspiration for this creation. Resident Evil 2 returns to its roots while delivering something new.

5. Gears 5

Most Gears of War games are masterpieces. The first three seasons were excellent and Gears of War 4 brought new life to the franchise. Gears 5 launched this past September and did not disappoint. The game is incredibly beautiful on Xbox One X. Cinema 4K and gameplay will make gamers love it.

The game plot is also very good. Gears 5 focuses on Kait. This part also has a stage where the person’s actions will affect the rest of the game. Let’s wait and see where the brand can go after this installment.

4. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

FromSoftware returns with a familiar battle system in a brand new game. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice takes place in an old fantasy Japan setting. Players take on the role of a ninja in a quest for revenge. The game has stunning graphics, like most of the games on this list.

Sekiro focuses on boss battles like Bloodborne and the Dark Souls series. The game this time has less role-playing elements but still full of charm. It focuses on exploration and stealth gameplay, giving the game its own unique experience. You have to deal with an extremely challenging game with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

3. Death Stranding

The most anticipated game this year is Death Stranding. Kojima Productions has been teasing the game for years, until gamers were able to play Death Stranding this November. Whether you like Death Stranding or not, this is definitely a controversial game. The game has a cast of A-listers, different from the video games on this list.

Many people praise Death Stranding for its different evolution compared to previous years. But the game being nominated for the best game of the year is also controversial. However, we cannot deny its success from a talented game developer.

2. The Outer Worlds

Obsidian has returned to its Fallout New Vegas roots with The Outer Worlds. It’s smaller when compared to other RPGs, but you still have a lot to do. Players can create their own characters, and enter areas that only appear in “Dungeons and Dragon”.

The game allows you to play the way you want, which is quite common in RPGs, but The Outer Worlds does it differently. A game decision doesn’t just fork two branches, they take multiple paths that make replaying the game well worth it.

1. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was not nominated for The Game Awards because of its late release. However, it still deserves a game of the year contender. This is the best Star Wars game in recent years. It’s finally the action-adventure single-player Star Wars game.

Not to mention, the plot and characters in the game are also very interesting. Overall, Fallen Order is a great game with lots of great features. Smooth combat and leveling system reminds us of other action adventure games. Jedi: Fallen Order absolutely deserves a vote for game of the year.
