A game that came out in 2019, so far, that you think should get considered for GOTY, but you think will be overlooked?

- Baba Is You
- The Outer Wilds
- A Plague Tale: Innocence
- Amid Evil
- Katana Zero
Enjoyed these every bit as much as Sekiro, RE2, Gears 5 etc.
Baba is You in particular is ridiculously good and if you have a PC or Switch, you owe it to yourself to get this game.

Don't expect any of them to be recognized on a wider scale though.
Wow, Eastshade looks really beautiful. I'll check that one out.Ion Fury on Steam

Yeah, the thing that blew me away was that it really is a non-violent questing game, like Skyrim without combat.
I went in thinking it'd be a chill walking sim where you paint lovely landscapes for NPCs. And while it is that, there's so much more. Collecting and crafting systems. NPC quests that flesh out the personalities. World lore from books, etc.
It's way deeper than I imagined.
i'm not sure what would be interesting or surprising about me sticking to it. though i'm a xbox only gamer and perhaps have less to look forward to for 2019 (or to have played earlier in the year) that may change my mind
FE Three Houses is a great game, reviewed well, and has a great following and all, but if you're talking about the GOTY award context, then it stands basically no chance because Western outlets do not touch games like that outside of their one "weird anime games!" person.
I was gonna post pretty much the same thing. Slay the Spire is such an incredible game, but the OT isn't as active as I'd wish it would be.
But the truth is, all major GOTY winners since 2013(except 2014)came out during the first half of a year.
Still need to finish both Control and Shadowbringers.
Both are quite good, but ShB is maybe a bit overrated so far and feels not too dissimilar from prior expansions instead of the leap I expected given hype. Certainly improved over the last expansion in many ways, and I may feel differently by its end, but halfway through and its good, but not OMG gud.
Control feels like a proper return of Remedy after QB left me cold.
Really need to play FE, Plague Tale, and several others too.

There's no obvious GOTY frontrunners this year so it's hard to say.
Maybe it's just me but I don't see many outlets giving GOTY to action games or remakes, there's been no major breakthrough indies and there's been no GOW/BOTW level exclusives from Sony/Nintendo. I feel like Sekiro will win by default with only Death Stranding being a potential wildcard.
More on topic....Goose Game.
There's a strange pseudo snobbery towards comedy games and some positive reviews had weird apologetic undertones to me, for enjoying this thing that isn't a "real game".

Control (currently my GOTY) and Apex Legends. The latter because a F2P Battle Royale is easy to think doesn't deserve any GOTY recognition in lists, despite the fact it is far and away the best controlling and playing FPS of 2019 until Doom Eternal comes out. Wonder if Doom Eternal will get overlooked as well.

PC right now. I wish it was on more! More people should play Elsinore.
At least playing through the base game of MHW doesn't suck, unlike FF14. But can an expansion really get or deserve GOTY? It's not a new game.
For my answer to this thread - it is 100% Control.
Devil May Cry 5 is one of the best games of all times, I hope it is at least nominated in various sites.
Death Standing?
RE2 is a strong candidate, don't see how people think it's gonna be overlooked

yup of all the games that have come out this year re2 as as safe as it gets.
Dragon Quest Builders is not only my GOTY but is like one of my top 5 fave games ever.
Probably will be ignored because it's dragon quest and because it's a building game, but the game is so good that I'm now afraid to be disappointed with the next Animal Crossing.
Untitled goose game is also a contender great gameplay, perfect length and lot of style, humour and originality.

Yea,I'd go with this too,great game.
They managed to expand on the series but didn't loose that feel of the other games.
It hasn't been released yet, but if Luigi's Mansion 3 lives up to the greatness of Dark Moon and Next Level Game's track record, it's absolutely gonna be a GOTY contender.
