Games Overlooked by the Game Awards

KeenGamer: "No way is everyone happy with the nominee selections at The Game Awards (unless you're Kojima). Everyone has games they think deserve their spot, and we've compiled plenty here. Just because a game wasn't nominated doesn't mean it doesn't deserve some recognition! So peruse our selection of games that the Game Awards overlooked."

Blasphemous in particular is phenomenal!

[Nacho_Z]

Yeah great game. I would have been happy enough if it was a short but bloody hack and slash but it turned out to be a fully fledged deep Metroidvania with excellent platforming.

It's probably the game I enjoyed the most in 2019 so if that makes it my GotY so be it.

I think astral chain and days gone deserves more acknowledgement

Observation by No Code.

While it already features in two categories, I still think Shadowbringers got robbed for not being in the story one while MK11 makes it.

[Spenok]

Yeah, that is some complete BS right there. Shadowbringers was absolutely amazing. Best expansion pack for an MMO ever by far.

Very good list. A lot of fantastic indie games came out this year.

The Game Awards is only good for the game trailers which means their picks don't mean shit. I am very salty at how these games listed don't even get some kind of acknowledgement. The games nominated have repeat nominations plus there is a big section dedicated for e sports and influencers. That award show is a giant joke where these people go to sniff each other's asses instead of properly awarding and appreciating video games.

The awards are a joke man. I'm happy for the devs who do win, but there are so many great games that don't even get any recognition because they aren't 'popular' with the cool kids.

[Trigger_War]

I tend to overlook the VGAs and thus overlook what the VGAs overlook.

[DEEHULK88]

These awards aren't real and now more than ever, I feel that there are more and more fanboys are doing reviews and awards shows that it makes it hard to take them seriously. I am not going to say that games name, but it was mediocre at best and it damn sure shouldn't be a goty nominee. Fanboy run this nonsense anyway.

[metalgod88]

Games should be voted on by the community, you know, like how steam allows you to vote your favorite game for a specific category.

Wait for the D.I.C.E awards (Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences) in Las Vegas.

I’ve always likened the Spike TV Videogame Awards version to the MTV movie awards. Is this newer iteration still doing all the bands and celebrities?
