2019 SnakePit Awards: Game of the Year nominations open

It’s always hard to come up with a single Game of the Year. There’s not really any reliable, objective measure about what makes a game “good”. Is it a dominating victory? A long, epic struggle? An unexpected comeback? There’s a case to be made for all of the above. So for now, I’m just going to list a few potential candidates for consideration. As with the single-game performance category, feel free to list any further deserving candidates in the comments. You can also indicate which of the following you feel are worthy of making the final poll on Wednesday, or simply list your favorite five of the season. Box-scores can be found here.
