Added a key to the OP to indicate which award meets which criteria. Should make it easier for people to filter the list and determine an overall winner based on their own criteria. For example, the TLOU2's Golden Joystick win is a public poll, while Hades' is the awards show win based on a jury/panel.

TLOU Part 2 is GameCrate's GOTY.


Metacritic / jury-based Awards show list tally is now:

  1. Hades - 6
  2. The Last of Us Part II - 5
  3. Final Fantasy VII Remake - 2
  4. Half-Life: Alyx / Dreams / Ghost of Tsushima - 1
Spoiler: show













































It's upto The Last of Us Part 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 to take that crown away from Witcher 3.
eh....2019 = The Last of Us 2 vs Cyberpunk 2077.


Turns out, GOTY is actually The Last of Us 2 vs Hades. Yikes Cyberboyz, yiiiikes!!

Also, good to see that Necrokiller sees worth in the overall GOTY tally, not just the Metacritic certified one. Noted.

Game Informer's top 10 so far:
Seems like it's either of Hades or TLOU2 at #1.

it didn'tt met the qualifications for nominations list for 2020
Yup, it didn't meet the deadline for The Game Awards. It got nominated for IGN and a few other site's GOTY. Was also an honorable mention in GameCrate's GOTY list.

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
