especially with all the graphics discussion this year, i wanted a category to put HFW in. I was gonna vote it for best visual style, but Elden Ring had the more striking memorable environments

Exactly the same for me too. Wanted to put HFW for best graphics and didn't see best graphics category at all. Went through the list thrice just to make sure I wasn't missing it.

Hmm well they did do a thread with suggestions for categories and that just wasn't one that kept coming up. Maybe people thought it would be there without suggesting it? This is a new thing that will be built on in the future using feedback

Not sure about the one vote limit. I liked seeing how people ranked their favorite games but now we’ll just see their #1 game which is often obvious for many users going by talks and platform and genre preferences. Top 3 games would be enough.

I miss a Best Racing category. And Best Action Adventure. And Best VR, at the very least, could have several VR categories.
Yeah I really liked the list format too. I'm very interested in not just no.1-3 but what say, gaf's 8th favourite game is, since I'm likely to know all about the top 3 but 8 might be a game I feel I need to take a look at after seeing so many people mention it. This is trying out a new thing to build on it so see how it goes

I'm still gonna post a top 10 anyways once I figure out my list

I want to nominate a few games I really liked that may or may not have been mentioned, I'm not reading all 5 pages.

I really enjoyed Tunic, thought it was great.

The Entropy Centre was an excellent puzzle game and one of my favorites of the year of any genre.

My most disappointing game of the year was Valkyrie Elysium. Just a bland game that felt like a cheap budget title from a no name developer.

No problem. Yeah...great game.
I didn't see Shadowman Remastered as an option for remake/remaster of the year. I know it released on PC in 2021, but it didn't hit consoles until this year. It was the only remaster I played this year, haha.

EDIT: Sorry. I'm blind today. Got it.

Now that I’m a non gamer I’d feel bad if I’d vote in one of those things, but certainly Elden Ring have had my attention this year.

Game of the year for me was Prodeus, essentially what I wanted from a Doom 2016 sequel.

The dynamic music alone:

 
Forgot to mention that I only played 2 games last year released in 2022... and the other was Forbidden West... so GOTY was an easy call.
 
Happy new year!

My picks are below. I dropped some categories where I didn't play anything and added a strategy category. I'll still try to do a top 10 post before the deadline because I love those.

This post doesn't follow the format. I have voted in the form though in the correct manner.

GOTY: Splatoon 3
Runner Up: Horizon Forbidden West
Other notables: Gran Turismo 7, Bayonetta 3, TMNT Shedders Revenge, Circuit Superstars.

Splatoon 3 does not get the respect it deserves. It is so much fun to play, and it is packed with so much content.
Special shoutout to indie hidden gem racer Circuit Superstars.

Yeah, I've gone from wondering if Elden Ring will win GotY to wondering if Elden Ring will get voted all 3 Best Action Game, Best Adventure Game, and Best RPG? Since people can nominate it in whichever category they see fit

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
My final picks, this was a tough one!

An amazing year in gaming, where a lot of these categories I really had to think about what deserved top spot. We really were spoiled for choice with some real great stuff.
