This is some absolute bullshit. Mouthwashing deserved something. People have no tastes.

Dix someone played Wukong ?
I've been curious to hear other people's opinions too.
I watched some gameplay and it looked like a generic action game. It seemed like a toss up so I'm waiting for a sale or to see if anyone can convince me one way or the other.
I tried "My Time at Portia" recently and felt duped by that game. It was given a lot of praise and attention when it released (and similarly a game made by a Chinese studio), but felt like a single player MMO with half baked mechanics everywhere.
It had 2.4 million players at launch on Steam, so I guess a few people played it.
Well there is humour in having a digital version of a thousand(s) year old (bar/drinking) game win most innovative gameplay at least.
Its just a popularity contest.
It sounds so obvious, but it's actually really profound and has left me contemplating!
Comment of the year! 🏆
another bad year for microsoft spider solitaire windows xp edition
Not sure what I expected. Every year I miss the mark on all but one or two categories. Not sure if it's because I'm out of touch with the gaming community or the gaming community is high. Probably the first, but people seriously picked Elden Ring for labour of love? Farm Sim for sit back and relax? RDR for soundtrack? The community has spoken I suppose.
Farm sim is a chill game. Elden ring has a pretty dedicated fanbase. There are definitely other games that I'd put up for labour of love though. Not sure how I feel about rdr soundtrack.
It's definitively the latter. Steam awards are mostly considered to be a joke. The actual interesting and well-deserving games rarely ein anything,.usually because they're more niche
I mean, hell, starfield won the innovation award last year. I think that's the biggest joke award that has ever been lmao. That game is about as innovative as a french fry
Lmao at "most innovative gameplay" being Liar's Bar. A game where the only gameplay is playing the card game cheat, which is so well trod that you could play it on Neopets. The only difference is that you can die, wow
It's just a popularity contest, always has been. There's never any critical thinking behind the choices made.
How Frostpunk 2 didn't win the best music is a fucking mystery.
RDR won because of popularity.
Wow, 0 of my 11 picks won.
Oh well, I play games but I am pretty far removed from the "Gamer" crowed.
Same for me, I haven't even played any of the winners. But I consider it quite healthy sign for gaming that I had a great time without even touching the most popular picks.
