Boy howdy, it’s a winner

Gather round the fire, possemates, the votes for the yearly Steam Awards are in and you lot have decided that Rockstar’s cowboy adventureRed Dead Redemption 2was the game of the year in 2020. Come have a look-see to find out if anything you voted for during the awards wound up lassoing itself a win.
RDR2 took the top spot for game of the year, which I can’t personally argue with. I may have even voted for it, but I’ve slept since then. I certainly played a heck of a lot of the online portion of the game in 2020. Despitea rocky launchon multiple storefronts when it arrived on PC at the tail end of 2019, it seems everyone else must have come around on it as well.

Unsurprisingly,Half-Life: Alyxgot the votes for “VR game of the year”. I’ve not played it myself, but it sure seems like it would have been an upset for Valve’s own game not to take that one home, right? Graham dubbed it “theHalf-Lifegame you’ve been waiting for” in hisHalf-Life: Alyx reviewso it certainly seems well-earned.
As for the other awards,Fall Guysis “better with friends” whileThe Sims 4takes home “sit back and relax”—lots ofEA games arrived on Steamonly last year, remember. Ori And The Will Of The Wisps won top marks for visual style and Doom Eternal snags the soundtrack award. You can spot the winners in the remaining categories overon Steam.
