The “The World Is Grim Enough Let's Just All Get Along” Award - Dishonored
Because you can finish the game without killing anyone

The “Choices Matter” Award - Fallout: New Vegas
You can make some choices in the game that has (small) impact on the quest

The “Haunts My Dreams” Award - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The dreams or nightmare is more about the Dragonborn not be able doing stuff without mods.

The “Mom’s Spaghetti” Award - Planet Coaster
This game can make me happy. If I am thinking about spaghetti, I am thinking about creating stuff and that is what you can do in this game

The “No Apologies” Award - Undertale
This seems like a game that people find it weird that other people like. This can also be a good choice for the "the world is grim" and "choices award" You can finish the game without killing anyone. Multiple choices, even when you reload your save

The “Cry Havoc And Let Slip The Dogs Of War” Award - Saints Row IV
Causing chaos in the city with your powers

The “Suspension of Disbelief” Award - Borderlands 2
There are many obstacles to conquer

The “Soul Of Vitruvius” Award - Lucius
Quote: "be it human, alien, anthropomorphic cat people, or even a piece of produce". This boy isnt fully human

The “Defies Description” Award - Tomb Raider
For now a random game chosen. It is very hard to find the game that fits, among thousends of games

The “Labor of Love” Award - Cities Skylines
This game has been out for a while. It is about your creativity to build a city. The devs also support the game by making more and more DLC's

The “Whoooaaaaaaa, Dude! 2.0” Award - Hitman Absolution
For now a random game chosen. It is very hard to find the game that fits, among thousends of games

The “Even Better Than I Expected” Award - Deponia
For now a random game chosen. It is very hard to find the game that fits, among thousends of games

The “Best Rerelease of Nostalgia” Award - Cat survival
Kittiefriends

Fallout 4 | Disaward: The developer that doesn't know what a RPG game is

The “Labor of Love” Award - Cities Skylines

hm, I wouldn't consider DLC milking as only positive. I'd say a better fitting title is Terraria that released in 2011 and still gets big updates fully free with no DLCs at all.

Your are right. Dlc milking. It depends on the game. Basegame Cities skylines also includes some free updates
By comparison, terraria might be a better fit.

But we both know that a random game that doesn't fit the category will be awarded. It is not a very big issue, just like last year.

Yeah, you are right there. At least Terraria made it to the finals last year and could have a chance besides possibly Starbound and Titan Quest.

I have no idea what to vote. The awards make no sense and some of them are memes for valve and gaben fanboys. Not interested in that.

Voted KF2 on the peace category, voted bad rats in bad rats category.... and then a bunch of games I like.

According to my interpretation of these categories:

“The World Is Grim Enough Let's Just All Get Along” - Farming Simulator 17 (category for friendly co-op game without killing anyone; game that doesn’t involve combat or conflict)
“Choices Matter” - Life is Strange: Before the Storm (category for influence the story and how it will end game story)
“Haunts My Dreams” - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (category for multiplayer or not you will play this game a lot and time will fly because It's so good)
“Mom’s Spaghetti” - Friday the 13th: The Game (category for horror game)
“No Apologies” - Crush Crush (category for multiplayer or not you play that game often and you will be condemned for that by others)
“Cry Havoc And Let Slip The Dogs Of War” - Football Tactics (category for alpha, beta or early access development and has the potential for a great game)
“Suspension of Disbelief” - Cuphead (category for a weird game where everything is allowed, a lot of things do not make sense and you enjoy it very much)
“Soul Of Vitruvius” - Rise of the Tomb Raider (category for best rendered character in that game - Lara Croft)
“Defies Description” - Rocket League (category for "weird" game I can't describe it, just play it) - resemblance to “Suspension of Disbelief”
“Labor of Love” - Euro Truck Simulator 2 (category for still getting support and new content after all these years)
“Whoooaaaaaaa, Dude! 2.0” - Hollow Knight (category for impressed by game even though you did not play it)
“Even Better Than I Expected” - West of Loathing (category for you did not expected to be good but you gave game a chance and was surprised) - resemblance to “Whoooaaaaaaa, Dude! 2.0”
and Write in category - “Old but not dead..... yet!” - Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad with Rising Storm
