Game Of The Year - RE: Village

VR GAME OF THE YEAR - Cooking Simulator VR
"The VR Game of the Year isn't merely masquerading as regular reality. This game improves on reality, taking advantage of the medium of VR and pushing the boundaries of the virtual realm."-Steam
LABOR OF LOVE - Terraria
"This game has been out for a while. The team is well past the debut of their creative baby, but being the good parents they are, these devs continue to nurture and support their creation. This game, to this day, is still getting new content after all these years." -Steam
BETTER WITH FRIENDS - It Takes Two
"There are some games out there that just aren't the same when you play by yourself. Maybe you need to have a friend to watch your back. Maybe you need to have a friend that you can stab in their back. Either way, fun is awaiting those who gather friends together play this game."-Steam
Outstanding Visual Style - Forza Horizon 5
"Visual style doesn't aspire to real-world graphical fidelity (though a noble goal in itself)… it describes a distinctive look and feels that suffuses an entire game."-Steam
Most Innovative Gameplay - Deathloop
"The designers of this game are at the front lines of creative experimentation, bringing a fresh perspective and brain-breaking surprises. This game delighted, inspired, and entertained with newness never played before."-Steam
BEST GAME YOU SUCK AT - Nioh 2
"This is the game that rewards persistence and is not for the faint of heart. It's the toughest game we've ever loved."-Steam
Best Soundtrack - Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
"This unsung hero deserves to be recognized for its outstanding musical score. It's the OST with the MOST!" -Steam.
Outstanding Story-Rich Game - Cyberpunk 2077
"Some days, only a narrative-heavy game will hit the spot, and this one packs a wallop. It's as gripping as any soap opera, and as well-tuned as a prestige-TV screenplay. Bravissimo -- for making us feel things!"-Steam
Sit Back and Relax - Farming Simulator 22
"This game is the antidote to a busy day. It's smooth, it's relaxing, it lets your worries melt away. This game is your moment of zen."-Steam
