Well deserved. Had a lot of heavy hitters to compete with for the award too. Gameplay is king for me, and I can't think of another on the list that does it quite as well as Sekiro.

Resi2 deserves some attention as well as I think that game has stellar level design and presentation.

Abriael2226d ago

It was such a pleasant surprise to see a Japanese game that takes no prisoners recognized, despite all the easy mode whining. It made me smile even if they robbed FFXIV for best ongoing game and Ace Combat 7 for... well... everything.

LOGICWINS2226d ago

Fire Emblem: Three Houses got the fan vote for GOTY.
Sekiro gets the official GOTY.
Japanese gaming will dominate once again!

UltraNova2226d ago

Definitely a worthy win for my personal 2019 best game, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

I'll be playing it tonight just to celebrate its GotY Award.

From Software, you've done it again.

bouzebbal2226d ago

Haven't played it but my goty so far is Days Gone. Bought it a week ago and I was expecting nothing.. it's awesome

mikeslemonade2226d ago

Fake souls won lol

RE2 deserves it more.

So the game that is worst than Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 won. Pathetic

BLizardXD2226d ago

"RE2 deserves it more."

no zombie Brad, no GOTY. plus Kendo is exclusive to Leon's playthrough.
plus no classic camera option. other than that yeah it's still my favorite game.

Vegamyster2226d ago

What? I enjoyed Sekiro more than both, the verticality and posture system was refreshing.

Abnor_Mal2226d ago

"So the game that is worst than Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 won."

Are you honestly saying that Bloodborne and Dark Souls3 are bad games? Sounds like you're saying Bloodborne and Dark Souls3 are bad games.

Tech52226d ago

RE2 has been around though for years.
Sekiro is a fresh 2019 game. that's what i think.

william_cade2225d ago

yeah a remake over a new IP...way to keep the bar hovering around mediocrity.

When Death Stranding won Best Direction I was happy but then when Resi 2 didn't get GOTY I felt really bad for them.

It's so weird that Sekiro is the first new singleplayer IP that Activision has published in about a decade and they go straight to GOTY. Hopefully they'll learn something positive from this.

TK-662226d ago

Actuvision only handled the publishing from a distribution perspective. In JPN FromSoftware is the publisher. So this isnt really an Activision game.

Muzikguy2226d ago

Sekiro is a good game. I'm playing it now. Wow is it tough

***"Sekiro is a good game. I'm playing it now. Wow is it tough"***

Sekiro can be a pretty cheeky in places. Unlike other games in the Soulsbourne series where you can summon help for the more difficult bosses, in Sekiro you're all on your lonesome. You really have to learn the movement sets for each of the enemies in the game in order to progress - because of this it really is a case of the old cliche "Git Gud" lol.

How far through the game are you Muzik?

I'm sorry to report it doesn't get much easier (I found the final boss horrendously difficult) and a certain fiery demon later in the game can be very tricky until you get his moveset down, different players seem to find different bosses more/less challenging so your milage may vary, but the game is always enjoyable even when you're restarting after your 50th death in a row, simply because of the fantastic combat and traversal systems.

Either way Sekiro is an absolutely brilliant game, one of my favourites of 2019 and a deserved winner of GOTY.

on_line_forever2226d ago

Like Echo_ said don't let the game break you try to master the combat you will love and enjoy this game so much if you do that

Muzikguy2225d ago

@Wasabi

The game is fun even though difficult. I have gotten frustrated but that's a given. Had to look a few things up and I hate doing that. I guess with these kinds of games that can be a given too. Already passed over a boss to come back to later. I'm not really that far, just got to the guy with the spear on the horse which made me go back and get the Shinobi Firecracker that I apparently missed. Keeping track of the merchants will be tough too. Especially when leaving the game and going back to it all the time between life and work. I played and platinumed Dark Souls 1, 2, and Bloodborne so I've gotten a little used to these kinds of games. The traversal is awesome. Grappling hook spots don't seem to be as prevalent as they could be, but it adds to the difficulty sure. With the Souls games the added benefit of help was great, and I had the games early so the community was there. I couldn't imagine playing those without it.

ShockUltraslash2226d ago

Yeah Devil May Cry 5 got better combat than Sekiro.

UltraNova2226d ago

No, no way. Sekiro has the most accurate and fluid combat system ever made imho. I'm playing DmC 5 as we speak and its awesome, its good, really good but Sekiro beats it in the combat mechanics department.

ShockUltraslash2226d ago (Edited 2226d ago )

Sekiro dont even have a double jump.
Only one character?
With One weapon and no variety.
I can deal with Sekiro being GOTY overall but in terms of pure action DMCV is best this year.

FernDiggidy2226d ago

Gameplay is definitely king.

Ooof never expected this but finally from software gets a GOTY award on the grand stage. Well deserved! It's a shame Elden Ring wasn't there.

-Foxtrot2226d ago

I’m really glad but it’s a shame Resident Evil 2 didn’t get anything

LOGICWINS2226d ago

It sold a buttload, the fans were happy with it, and the devs got to feed their families....that’s all that matters at the end of the day.

Sophisticated_Chap2226d ago

"devs got to feed their families"

and.... they got to buy new cars, and buy new houses, and buy vacations to destinations around the world... Cut it out with the "feed their families" nonsense, as if they're struggling to stay alive or something. Nothing worse than bleeding hearts for people who make a great living, working in a great industry.

-Foxtrot2226d ago

Feee their families

Oh come on most of these guys at bigger studios get paid a lot more then the average worker and they get to do something they have an interest in

I’m not saying their loaded but it’s better than most in Walmart jobs or something

Brave_Losers_Unite2226d ago

@Chap

Coming here just to complain?

Petebloodyonion2226d ago

Resident Evil had the same chance of winning GOTY as any Ubisoft, EA or Call of Duty games usually listed basically none.
It's like hoping that Stars wars or a marvel movie will win the Oscar for the movie of the year.

2226d ago
Gordoncordon2226d ago

wow, i heavely disagree with that.
resident evil 2 remake should've win.

I can hear the triggered easy mode beggar journalists already

Felix_Argyle_Catbro2226d ago

The awards are decided by player votes AND journalist/gaming sites.

LOGICWINS2226d ago

The journalists are the ones who voted for Sekiro.

LucasRuinedChildhood2226d ago

"Sekiro is our game of the year!!!" - Gaming Journalists
"I can hear the triggered easy mode beggar journalists already" - AspiringProGenji

Something ain't right here.

AspiringProGenji2226d ago

So what was all that whining and using disable gamers as excuse for?

Glad FromSoft stuck with their vision

2226d ago
william_cade2225d ago

@all

To be honest they had too. Not only is the game objectively better than its competition that's not a remake, the journos couldn't ignore it without considerable backlash. Let's not pretend most game journos are honest or even genuine, they are more akin to snake oil sales-men/women.

Sekiro: No Defeat | Official Trailer | Crunchyroll

Japan is fractured into many independent nations entangled in ceaseless war. At the center lies Ashina, a land of sacred earth and ancient mystery. Two decades after Sword Saint Isshin Ashina reclaimed the region in a brutal coup, a new threat emerges from within: The Interior Ministry. Desperate to protect his homeland, Isshin’s grandson Genichiro turns to forbidden powers. The only hope lies in a kidnapped boy — the Divine Heir — and his silent protector: a loyal shinobi known only as Sekiro.

Deathpreacher148d ago

don't pay for this streaming platform, just do some research and find free streaming elsewhere. they took money after I canceled

anast148d ago

This looks cool, but there's something off about the art. It looks like they added sketchy lines to make it look gritty instead of making it look gritty.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Review

NoobFeed editor Ahnaf Tajwar writes - FromSoftware cooked up one of the best combat systems with Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and never did anything like it again. That may be a good thing, as it makes this game one of a kind. If you are a fan of Souls games or a borderline masochist, you will, without a doubt, love Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice because it is a masterpiece. It is a must-play for all hardcore gamers.
