Community RPG Codex GOTY 2019: Results & Cool Graphs

[Roguey]

By the way, let the record show that the Codex considers Sawyer at his worst better than Cain and Boyarsky at their worst.

The fall of legends. Not a New Vegas killer.

Viva la sawyer. His disco elysium/darklands hybrid will win RPGCodex goty for sure.

The real question is, will Roguey become a true Sawyrite again?

 

[prengle]

wow! i can't believe pathologic 2 won the prestigious RPG Codex™ GOTY 2019™ poll. tough competition this year but i always knew that it'd win out in the end

 

[felipepepe]

Sawyer at his worst

Deadfire has dull writing but it's by far the best RPG that Sawyer ever did gameplay-wise.

 

[Dramart]

An adventure game is the GOTY lol

both pillars of eternity are much better games than outer worlds

Hope you managed to clean your backlog, because 2020 looks overwhelming.

Here's to 2020, with Cyberpunk, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, Knight of the Chalice 2, Bloodlines 2, Wasteland 3, Mount & Blade II, Dragon Ball Z, Colony Ship, Yakuza 7, Disco Elysium DLC and drama about Final Fantasy VII.

truly i am so excited i can hardly contain my enthusiasm

The talk about Disco Elysium aside, I am glad to see The Outer Worlds at the exact spot (on a fucking 2D continuum, no less) it deserves to be. You've still got it, Codexers. Your heart is in the right place.

2nd - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Am I out of touch, I thought Bloodstained was a metroidvania?

Comrades, welcome to the RPG Codex 2019 GOTY Award!

This year we had 949 voters, who rated 62 releases from 2019. This is almost half of the 114 RPGs of 2018, as it was definitely a slower year. Hope you managed to clean your backlog, because 2020 looks overwhelming.

Once again we had three categories: Game of the Year, Best Expansion/DLC and Best PC Port/Remaster.

For those of you who just want the TL;DR, here are the winners:

Game of the Year
1st - Disco Elysium
2nd - Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
3rd - Slay the Spire

Best Remake/Port
Romancing SaGa 3

Best DLC/Expansion
Underrail: Expedition

For the full results and fancy graphs, just follow the link below.

The Castlevania strain of metroidvania's has exp and leveling

But new Tomb Raiders have those too

Shit, should have upvoted Bloodstained more. With a 3.29 pure average vs. Disco's 3.02 it'd probably take around 20 more 4/4 votes to put it into first place. The butthurt would have been epic

UPD. Counted it. Even 11 more 4/4 votes would suffice.

 

[LeStryfe79]

The only 3 RPGs that ever mattered were Grimoire, Kakarot, and Storm of Zehir.

The fall of legends. Not a New Vegas killer.

What a game Ghost of a Tale was. It's a pity it couldn't be delayed a year in order to win RPG of the year

Colony Ship isn't coming out until 2021 and Baldur's Gate III we'll have to see the reveal on Feb 27th to decide if it is even worth looking forward to. And it probably won't come out this year either.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Colony Ship isn't coming out until 2021

explain. i thought 2020 is THE year

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Remember, in 2015 the Codex choose Underrail.

so what. Underrail is great.

Does it actually have a narrative, a plot, you know, story?

Upd: I'm asking seriously.

 

[Daze]

A pretty good one even.
Play it already!
It's just the fucking best CRPG of the last decade.

That would be Grimoire

Forza games on Xbox too...Plus you can customize as much your car than your char in disco.

Does Grimoire have a story?
