Well, it would seem its about that time of year again– The Game Awards have announced their nominees and the cyber voting booths have been opened to the public. Some of the larger awards categories are posted below for your convenience, although if you would like to see a full list of categories and their respective nominees (not to mention vote yourself), you can do so here.
The categories include everything you would expect– the coveted Game of the Year (which God of War won last year in a semi-upset over Red Dead Redemption 2), Best Action Game, Best Game Direction etc.– to some probably lesser-known awards for such things as esports and content creation. Suffice it to say, there should be something here for everyone, and if you happen to see one of your favourites, don’t forget to vote for it!
