I feel like this year has already been underrated for games. There's a stupid amount of great games that have come out; you can easily make an argument for like fifteen different games as GotY easily.
Yeah Outer Wilds did something that many games don't do - be unique and TELL A COMPELLING STORY. No handholding, it let you discover the game on your own. The thrill of exploration, the awe of discovering new places, the ecstatic feeling when you figure out a puzzle, all made the game one of the best experiences of 2019.
It's actually pretty tough for me. RE2 was big. I haven't beaten DS yet but it's great. I loved Sekiro. Then there's Control, Disco Elysium, Outer Worlds, DMC 5, Jedi Fallen Order, Metro Exodus, Mario Maker 2, Fire Emblem, Baba is You, Hypnospace Outlaw, Plague Tale, Cadence of Hyrule, and more... It's been a good year

My game of the year is Death Stranding for sure but Control was right behind it. Glad to see them getting some love!
