  • Game of the Year: Flock

  • VR Game of the Year: Picked a random one

  • Labor of Love: Journey

  • Best Game on Steam Deck: Flock

  • Better with Friends: Webfishing

  • Outstanding Visual Style: Flock

  • Most Innovative Gameplay: Flock

  • Best Game You Suck At: Picked a random one

  • Best Soundtrack: OneShot WME

  • Outstanding Story-Rich Game: OneShot WME

  • Sit Back and Relax: Webfishing

I mostly picked these because they were the only ones I've played that were released this year, or are Steam Games to begin with in general.

I picked Flock for Outstanding style because I think it has awesome visual style. I also picked it for best game on Steam Deck because it plays very well on Deck and I play it almost exclusively on my Steam Deck. I've also never really played a game like it so I feel it is a very innovative game. Hence innovative game-play nomination.

For better with Friends I picked Webfishing because it is honestly better with friends and isn't as much fun to play alone. I also chose it for Sit back and relax because it's a relaxing game.

I picked OneShot WME for best soundtrack and outstanding story because honestly it has an amazing soundtrack and story, even though it is a remaster of an old game.

I picked Journey as Labor of love because it's one of the most beautiful games I've played.

The ones I picked at random are ones I haven't played yet or even own, I just tried to pick ones that were on my Watchlist or that looked like okay games.
