The expectation that TGAs have aroused has been growing exponentially in recent years, with more and more platforms and options to be seen from anywhere in the world.
If we look back, the five GOTY of The Game Awards are the following: Dragon Age: Inquisition in 2014, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in 2015, Overwatch in 2016, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in 2017 and, Finally, God of War in 2018.
There are many names that sound strong to run for Game of the Year in 2019, but there is no clear name, as it has happened in previous courses. If we stick to Metacritic, which does not have to be representative of the reality in the list of nominees, the video games with the highest score of those released in the computable year (from December 2018 to November 2019) are Super Smash Bros. Ultimate , Resident Evil 2 Remake, Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Devil May Cry 5, Sekiro: Shadows Diw Twice, Luigi's Mansion 3 and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
It is also expected that this gala of The Game Awards will have its corresponding dose of information, with announcements and world firsts as it has happened during this five years.
