Final Games Blog post of 2019! And as promised, the winners have been announced of this year’s Steam Awards. Over 35 million votes were cast, of 4+ million users voting.
And the winners are… upsetting (as only ONE game that I voted for, won something).
But, the gamers have spoken.
WINNER of ‘Outstanding Visual Style’.… GRIS
My vote… ASTRONEER (this game still wins a place in my heart)
–
WINNER of ‘Best Game You Suck At‘… Mortal Kombat 11
My vote… Mortal Kombat 11 (the only one I voted for that won)
–
WINNER of ‘Outstanding St0ry-Rich Game’… A Plaque Tale: Innocence
My vote… Far Cry New Dawn (just because it’s part of the Far Cry series)
–
WINNER of ‘Most Innovative Gameplay’… My Friend Pedro
My vote… Baba is You
–
WINNER of ‘Better With Friends’… DayZ
My vote… Risk of Rain 2 (kind of a surprise there this didn’t win)
–
WINNER of ‘Labor of Love’… Grand Theft Auto 5 (WTF…!?)
My vote… Warframe
–
WINNER of 2019’s ‘VR Game of The Year’… Beat Saber (I assume for the new 90 and 360 modes)
My vote… Blade & Sorcery (would had been BONEWORKS if it came out sooner)
–
WINNER of 2019’s ‘Game of The Year’… Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
My vote… Destiny 2

So there you have it, folks.. the winners of 2019’s Steam Awards! Let’s give a rounding applause to the winners (and hope they weren’t voted on by bots or Russian hackers, as that would jeopardize our Democracy)!
What a crappy Steam Awards this was… at least Beat Saber’s not going to be voted on again in 2020. And seriously, GTA5?! Should’ve been nominated for ‘Better With
Friends’ instead, because that’s literally all it is anymore — a multiplayer DLC game!
