These are the games that compete for GOTY in the Game Awards.
The Game Awards are held tonight between dawn to Thursday, Friday, December 13, with the world of the video game focused on who will take the GOTY 2019 as the best game of the year. The event, which you can follow live from Meristation and that will be full of surprises, has six prominent names among the nominees of the year. In this article we review who the finalists are and why they have options to be crowned as the 2019 game, picking up the witness of God of War, who was the winner of 2018. These are the chosen ones:
Control (Remedy Entertainment)
Control has become the big surprise of the nominees for the 2019 Game Awards, and it is not for less. Remedy's adventure (Alan Wake, Quantum Break) failed to capture attention during its development and many people feared we were facing a product that failed to emerge. But nothing is further from reality: the good shooting system, the powers of the protagonist, the design of levels and a first audiovisual section have convinced themselves and strangers. He has been the winner of the IGN GOTY 2019 and now wants to aspire to everything.
Death Stranding (Kojima Productions)
Surely the work with more polarizing effect of recent times. The premiere of Kojima without Konami has been waiting, and has garnered a large number of tens on the one hand, one of the most, but on the other, ratings below 8 that have left him with 82 in Metacritic. No one is indifferent to the world created by the Japanese genius, its playability and its narrative. If it catches you, you are facing one of the most different adventures of recent times. If he does not, he is able to show gaps far from the best of Kojima. In any case, one of the favorites.
Resident Evil 2 (Capcom)
The Capcom revolution has been completed with the Resident Evil 2 remake. It all started with the seventh installment and the company hit the top with this reinterpretation that brings us the best of the original adapted to the current times … Always with the Survival Horror and not unbridled action as a claim. The RE Engine is a jewel that has amazing results and more than 20 years later, Resident Evil 2 is once again a favorite of Game of the Year. Undoubtedly, another of those who are called to win more than one award.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)
And Miyazaki returned. And he did it with a third change. It has a aroma of Souls, but it is different. It started being a Tenchu, but also something else. Sekiro demands a lot from the player, since his ability will be essential to finish the game. To master it. And finally enjoying it. After a decade influencing as few others with the Souls series, Miyazaki is facing its great moment: a title that puts the finishing touch to a way of understanding the games that are worth their weight in gold.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Nintendo)
The great ode to the world of Sakurai videogame, thinking about that assignment that Iwata made (what you can do, do it with your maximum potential) has made a place among the best of the year since it came out in December 2018 and was out of that call. A more offensive Smash Bros., with the best template of all time, with constant updates and a plan of content in sight. And with all the best of what has been learned in this saga. It is already the best-selling fighting game in history. Now he wants to reign where no fighting game has ever done it before.
The Outer Worlds (Obsidian)
Another of the big surprises, not so much for the quality of the title – undeniable – if not more because a good RPG with a wardrobe was expected. But the reality is that the spiritual heir of Fallout New Vegas (no matter how hard it sounds) is one of the best RPG of recent times and one of the greats of this year. Because Obsidian has not come here to bring color. It comes to big things.
