Lot of work there considering this decade also includes PSWii60, PSP and DS ad 3DS.
Plenty of big journalistic sites seem to have forgotten that handhelds exist for their big best of decade stuff.

Something tells me i should have played Sekiro this year
Without a doubt man. Probably the best From Software game ever (IMO). I've recently finished NG+2 which I never normally bother with. I never go for platinum trophies but I'm just three trophies short of it so will def do an NG+3 over Christmas.
It's probably the must frustrating game I've ever played, on a first play through, but the satisfaction of finally downing that ****** you've been stuck on for days can't be beat.0 -

Which isn’t to say Outer Wilds is an academic experience or anything: it’s maybe the only game that truly and fully gets the joy of exploration, in a way beyond collectibles or loot or upgrades or the other typical rewards for indulging your curiosity. It’s so far and away my game of the year even though there are lots of games I really loved in 2019: it’s just that good.
And I'd like to say if you want a game that does absolutely nothing new but is a pure distillation of everything that makes games great then Ace Combat 7 provides the most minute to minute thrills of any game I've played in a long time.
If there's one bad point against it it's that it has a severe lack of Geese.

That's such a fantastic criticism. I'm tired of influencers blaming lag, skill based matchmaking, lootboxes, DLC when the major problem is lack of poultry.
It does however have dog.png so can't be too harsh on it.

Also why are people voting for Kingdom Hearts 3. I thought humanity had was doing well at saving this planet by forgetting it was ever released. Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Have played a few hours of it now and it’s such a fascinating experience in so many cool ways. Couldn’t escape it with the podcasts and websites I frequent, so interesting that it hasn’t broken through.
Playing a game with so much writing (and one of the complaints I heard is that it's a wee bit overwritten) requires me to be in the right mood for it. I imagine with will be like the original Fallout or Planescape Torment where I'd need to dedicate some free time to it.

It's been crap for triple A (except Ace combat 7 of course) but then triple A has been terrible for years.
In comparison the indie gaming scene has been exceptional. Nintendo as well have knocked it out of the park with the Switch being far and away the best console this year.
So an absolute feast of great games this year even if they don't come from the places that get all the press.

Have to say, found it hard to pick just 3 noms in some groups, will be hard to pick the winners! I saw a few comments on social media saying it's been a crap year for games but it's been brilliant for me!
No it's not. There's only one winner, Ace Combat 7.
And for any categories were AC7 didn't get nominated then everyone should be asking where is AC7.
Although saying that.... I only played sayonnara wild hearts today and kind of love it.

Ready to go guys. Please vote here:
http://bit.ly/35y7LTu
Only vote on categories that affect you (i.e. if you don't have a Switch, don't pick the Switch category, etc.)
All of the questions on the Fun page and Overall page are optional too.
The survey will stay open until Sunday at midnight. I'll post the results on Monday.
Voted. Thanks for organising Mr E. One small thing, Days Gone is there twice for PS4 game of the year - although to be fair it was that damn good
