Ghost of Tsushima has taken an early lead

You might not be emotionally invested in which games win which awards at The Game Awards this year, but thePlayer’s Voice category opened todayand it’s kind of a fun exercise to whittle the 30 nominees down to ten potential winners. To vote, you’ll need to sign in with Google, Twitter, or Facebook.

Even if you don’t want to participate, it’s interesting to see the tentative results. So far,Ghost of Tsushimais leading the pack with eight percent of the votes, followed closely byHades,Spider-Man: Miles Morales, andThe Last of Us Part II. If I were a betting man, I’d bet big onHadesrising the ranks.

Personally, the surprisingly great Legends mode really helps cementGhost of Tsushima‘s status (but I adoreHades). As forFree Fire– yeah, I had to Google it too– it’s at zero percent, just belowFortnite.

This is only the first leg of three. In the second round on December 4, the community will vote again, bringing the Player’s Voice nominees from ten games down to just five hopeful contenders. Then, on December 6, players will pledge their support for their number-one can’t-be-beat game of 2020.

I keep saying this, but as shitty as this year has been, it sure gave us some fantastic games.
