If you're a fan of the first game, please please please play Infinite.

---

Yakuza 0, probably. Bloodborne's not at all far behind, and Mario Odyssey's not long after that.

---

Bloodborne for me.

GTA 5.

Personal choice, Yakuza 0.

I've heard a lot about Life is Strange, I heard there's a controversial scene in it where the girl is revealed to be a lesbian?

She's bi, really

And it would only have been controversial with assholes

Smash Ultimate honestly

The game is pretty awesome, in particular in light of today's results. I always thought Ultimate was gonna win

---

anyone else think Journey is a contender? I remember how much attention it got when it came out in 2012

Xenoblade or Guild Wars 2

niceeee. I've never played that one. I know it's better than Odyssey though. I played Odyssey for 10 min, was totally underwhelmed.

I went with League because I felt it had the greatest impact on the 2010s

I think Odyssey > Galaxy 2 is the more popular opinion though.

I love Odyssey too. The Cap Kingdom where you begin isn't exactly the most exciting one but there are some fantastic world there.

GoldenEye for Wii

Fire Emblem Fates (Conquest/Birthright, Revelation is bad)

Honestly I think it was going to be mine too (well Conquest at least, Birthright is very good but not GOTD material IMO) but I somehow liked Three Houses even better. Fire Emblem is franchise of the decade to me, no contest.

Kid Icarus: Uprising, Super Mario 3D World, and Undertale round out my top five.

Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade Chronicles, The Witcher 3, and God of War (the new one) are the ones I have been expecting to be the strongest contenders. Out of those, I haven't played Witcher 3 yet (really should get on that I guess...), as I never could get into the first two games.

Breath of the Wild, as much as I'm a massive Zelda fan, as much as I enjoyed it, and despite spending 100's of hours on it, and also taking into account the near perfect reviews it got all around, I can't bring myself to vote for it, because I didn't like the lack of good and varied dungeons, the story was weak, I hated the breakable weapons mechanic, and I really rather wish they hadn't brought RPG mechanics into the franchise. Not because I don't like RPG's, I love them, but there are already so many good RPG's around, that I wish series that traditionally have been action-adventure games with very little RPG mechanics, could stay that way, as I love those types of games as well, and like to switch between the two, but these days action-adventure games that aren't semi-RPG's have become rare, while in the past they weren't, and that makes me kind of sad. All in all, I still like Ocarina of Time, Wind Waker, and Twilight Princess more than Breath of the Wild.

As for Xenoblade Chronicles, that's imo the best JRPG ever made, I loved it to bits, and thought it was darn near perfect (disliked X though...), but it already got to shine in the previous decade, and there's another game I personally enjoyed more, so...

Which brings me to my own personal pick, the new God of War. I enjoyed it like crazy (even though, yes, I know, it's another case of a traditionally action-adventure only franchise adopting some RPG mechanics). I've replayed it countless times now. I can't wait for the sequel. Which is funny in a way, because I think every single one of the older God of War games don't come anywhere close, and I've platinumed all of them. My vote would never go to any of those in the later parts of a competition like this. They really took things up several levels and revolutionized the franchise for the better with the new game imo. Of course I know not everyone agrees, which is fine. I think God of War might have gone further if it wasn't pitted against Witcher 3 so early. I never really expected it to actually win though, much as I'd like that, so it's fine.

Skyrim and Dark Souls are of course also very high tier games and I've always expected them to go far in the competition, but not quite as far as the other games I mentioned. But I might be wrong. For the record I haven't played any of the Dark Souls games yet, and Skyrim probably isn't my thing, as Elder Scrolls 4's gameplay bored me to death.

At this point I personally kind of expect The Witcher 3 to win. None of the games I've mentioned are games that would make me shake my head if they win the entire contest. I'm totally cool with that. Mario Kart games and Super Smash games though?... :-/ I mean, I've played the majority of all the games in both of those franchises, mostly with friends, and still do occasionally, and enjoy them quite a bit, Smash in particular, but I think such games are too simple for GOTD or even GOTY stuff.

new God of War eh? Interesting pick @TeslaCoi1

---

Skyrim!

So far the only game I had zero complaints about .

Mass Effect 3

Voted for ME2, since it's close enough and I enjoyed it almost as much.

Didn't that game get backlash for a bad ending??

Gonna go with Guilty Gear Xrd Rev. Smash Bros games (probably Ultimate) are good too. Best AAA game that fits the description neatly was God of War. Lots of good indie games. Undertale is obvious, and I'll say I really liked Cuphead and Celeste.
