My #GameAwards picks:

Game of the Year: Psychonauts 2

I haven't even played it yet, but I'm putting my vote behind it, I played Metroid Dread and while it was a lot of fun, I'm not sure it was "the absolute best experience across all creative and technical fields"

Again Metroid was fantastic, but Psychonauts I think really goes a lot further creatively, I'll be playing it on stream soon so we'll see how my vote here holds up heh 🐸😄

Best Game Direction: Deathloop

I watched my fren play Deathloop for a bit, I originally wasn't too interested in the idea but it has grown on me, I'm a sucker for rogue-like/light type games and this one seem to have a lot to discover in the limited 3 day span

Best Narrative: Psychonauts 2

Again haven't played it yet, but I'm pretty firm on this

I'm sure Life is Strange or It Takes Two might really win this one though, haven't played those either, but they seem to have made a bit of a splash this year

so we'll see

Best Art Direction: Psychonauts 2

You may be noticing a trend here, but worry not I assure you this is all a part of process

No idea who'll take this category, none of the games have graced my screen yet, they all look great, maybe Artful Escape will win since it says art in it

Best Score and Music: NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139

I have heard the music for this probably in a trailer or something, I think it was one of those typical sweeping, epic anime orchestral arrangements, I'm voting for it because none of the others stick out in my head as much

Best Audio Design: Halo Infinite

dang its not here uh, hmm.. i played the demo for RVIII but i dont remember the sound...

I'm gonna try Forza soon so maybe I'll vote for that

sorry ratchet and clank
sorry deathloop
sorry returnal

Best Performance: Giancarlo Esposito as Anton Castillo

Just from what I've seen in the trailers

not too interested in Far Cry 6 tho tbh

Games for Impact: Before your Eyes

didn't play it but I like the blinking mechanic where the in game scene changes when you blink

it looked like there are some themes about being present with the moment and stuff

Best Ongoing: Apex Legends

haven't played it in a while honestly but it's the only one that I like playing from this category, I know a lot of folx enjoy FFxiv tho

Best Indie: Loop Hero

Tough category but I think this gameplay is the most "outstanding" given the chance to play it I would

Best Mobile Game: Pokemon Unite

It's the only mobile game I've played on this list

Best Community Support: No Man's Sky

I haven't logged in for some of the more recent update but I absolutely love this game even if it is a bit overwhelming, the rise to glory from launch is pretty legendary.

Innovation in Accessibility: Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart

I've played nothing in this category

Best VR / AR: Hitman 3

I'm just picking randomly at this point

Best Action Game: Returnal

From what I've seen Returnal has got plenty of action! Who has a PS5 though amirite?

Best Action / Adventure: Metroid Dread

I'ma give Psychonauts a break here and put Metroid Dread cuz it's certainly worth voting for at least once

Best Role Playing: Cyberpunk

didn't play it, and haven't been into RPGs as of late I'm just voting for my own survival
what is even a Tensei?

Best Fighting: Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl

for the memes

Best Family: WarioWare: Get It Together!

I like that style of game buncha minigames

Best Sim / Strategy: Microsoft Flight Simulator

Best Sports / Racing: Riders Republic

Best Multiplayer: Valheim

I have almost 200 hours in this game, haven't played it in a while but it has a special place in my heart

Content Creator of the Year: Fuslie

idk who this is...

Best Debut Indie: Valheim

Tough choice because Sable looks so pretty, but Valheim is more my jam

Most Anticipated Game: The Sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

It's probably gonna be between Elden Ring and Starfield, I'ma go with zelda tho, i have yet to beat the first one but i have finally been able to play recently and it's not bad actually

Best Esports Game: Halo Infinite
