Vote for the best games of the year on Steam now
And that's no bad thing because it gives us the chance to find out if we agree with other folks on the internet and even helps us to create a list of titles we might have missed.
For 2016, Steam is taking the yearly awards to another level by letting its millions of users decide on the nominees and the winners for all the best games of the year. That's a pretty huge audience to include in this kind of mechanic, and hopefully it all runs smoothly.
The voting has kicked off already and coincides with their massive Steam sale, so you've got a lot of reasons to pop over to the site. There are eight different categories to choose titles for, and they're pretty inventive.
This award is for the game that is just as good today as the day you first played it. Newer games may come out, but it doesn’t matter… you’ll always come back to play this one.
Games are fun. But sometimes games become more than that, and touch you in a way you weren’t expecting. This award celebrates the game that blindsided you emotionally. You weren’t expecting to cry. It wasn’t in the plan. But it happened none the less.
You have an early day tomorrow. You need to get some sleep, so you’re just going finish one more thing before you decide to tuck in for the night. Just one more. Wait, one more. What’s that you say? It’s 2:30 AM? This award is for the game that keeps you playing late.
Some games melt your face. Maybe it was a crazy plot twist. Maybe you just got your wisdom teeth removed. Either way, this game BLOWS YOUR MIND.
Some people just need a hug.
Kinder Eggs. Peanut Butter Cups. Jelly Donuts. All great things stuffed with other great things. Like a mighty turducken, this award celebrates the best mini game hidden within another game.
This title didn’t have a huge marketing machine behind it, but you found it and loved it. Then you told your friends about it. And they loved it. And now that little game that could is about to win an award… but always remember: you totally found it first.
Animals are rad and almost any game is better for including them. However this game used a farm animal in the best way possible.
(*name pending Selection Committee Decision) There are as many great ideas for awards as there are great games to play. And so we turn to the Steam Awards Selection Committee to come up with their own category and nominee. Senior members of the Selection Committee will review the write-in entries and create an entirely new category based on the feedback provided.
