Today, June 27, 2019, the Game Critics Awards selected the best games that appeared at this year's E3 in several categories, with the event's top honor for Best of Show going to Final Fantasy VII Remake.

For those unfamiliar with the awards, more than 60 media outlets take part in the selections, and the main requirement for a show-floor game to qualify for voting is that it have a playable demo lasting at least five minutes. That is why the titles below do not include the sequel to Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Below are all the nominees in each category. The names in bold are the winners.
