Gather around the fire, posemate, the votes for the annual Steam Awards are at stake and you have decided that the cowboy adventure Rockstar Red Dead Redemption 2 was the game of the year 2020. Come take a look to see if anything voted during the award awards ended in victory.
RDR2 took first place for the game of the year, with which I can’t argue personally. Maybe I even voted for her, but I’ve been asleep ever since. I certainly played a large part of the online part of the game in 2020. Despite a rocky launch in several showcases, when it arrived on the computer at the end of 2019, it seems that everyone else must have come too.
He also won the win for the “remarkably story-rich game,” which I can’t talk about, because I was completely absorbed in the RDO and never reached the singleplayer bit. A murder, I know. Here’s Matthew Castle in this video review here to tell you about that part.
Surprisingly, Half-Life: Alyx got the votes for “VR Game of the Year”. I didn’t play it alone, but it sure seemed upset for Valve’s own game not to take him home, right? Graham called it “the Half-Life game you’ve been waiting for” in his review of Half-Life: Alyx, so it sure seems to have won.
As for the other prizes, Fall Guys is “better with friends”, while The Sims 4 takes home “stay relaxed and relax” – a lot of EA games arrived on Steam only last year, remember . Ori And The Will Of The Wisps won top marks for visual style, and Doom Eternal won the award for soundtrack. You can identify the winners from the remaining categories on Steam.
