Shacknews Top 10 Games of the Year 2019

There were a ton of great games that didn't make the cut for our Top 10 Games of the Year 2019 list, but we wanted to give them a proper shout out. Here's a list of our honorable mentions:

• Tetris 99
• Luigi's Mansion 3
• Borderlands 3
• Devil May Cry 5
• Kingdom Hearts 3
• My Friend Pedro
• Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
• Trover Saves the Universe
• EDF: Iron Rain

This was the closest Shacknews Game of the Year vote in years. The top spot in our countdown came down to two tiebreakers. Our top two games of the year 2019 both received two first place votes, so the deciding factor was second place votes. In a 5-3 vote tiebreaker victory, our #1 Game of the Year 2019 slipped by Resident Evil 2 to reach its rightful place in Shacknews history.
