Stevivor GOTY 2019: Best Direction

We’re down to two remaining Stevivor’s GOTY Awards for 2019 left to give away. Today is all about the game with the best direction in 2019.

Stevivor’s Best Direction of 2019

Probably surprising no one at this point, Stevivor staffers have declared Control the winner of this category. With a story and overall presentation with as many twists and turns as the ever-changing Oldest House itself, this was another easy one for us.

Control Resident Evil 2, Gears 5 and Untitled Goose Game in this category.

“Control is something new for us,” Game Director, Mikael Kasurinen, told Stevivor. “From the start, we wanted to go where our passions took us and embrace the ideas that excited us. We didn’t second guess what the reception would be and we trusted that like-minded gamers out there would enjoy the same things we enjoy. We like weird and we like that our fans have enjoyed this strange and deranged stylized experience that is Control.”

Control is starting to clean up our awards program, winning Best Action game, Best Audio Design and Best Narrative before this.

There is one final Stevivor GOTY Award remaining for 2019 — we’ll soon present the award for best game of 2019 to send the year off with a bang. See you tomorrow.
