Not everyone can be happy as Game of the Year awards are handed out. You might disagree on a winner, think that games should be rated in a different order, or feel that a little-known gem is being cruelly overlooked. Our own Game of the Year awards have been running for the last week, and there’s plenty more to come. Better than simply commenting on our awards though, you now have the opportunity to weigh in for yourselves!
We’ve trimmed things back to six categories. Without getting bogged down with specific genres (as much for my own sanity as yours) there’s sections for best single player, best multiplayer, best independent, best vr game, biggest disappointment and the community’s Game of the Year 2017.
If there’s a game you’re dying to vote for, complain as vociferously as possible in the comments and we’ll add it to the list. Don’t vote
The voting will be open from now through to 23:59PM on Saturday 30th December, and we’ll post the results as 2018 dawns. Please only vote once, as subsequent votes will not be counted.
Update: Voting is now closed! Thanks for taking part and we’ll have the results posted on 1st January 2018!

JR.
Uncharted Lost Legacy
COD WWII
RIME
RE7
Mass Effect Andromeda
Horizon Zero Dawn
Feel bad not being able to pick Knack II, AC Origins, Outlast 2, Prey, LEGO City Undercover (PS4) or Dishonored for anything but I’m happy with my choices. Also, I thought the Last Guardian came out in 2017 but that was Dec 16 :O
Anyway, I’ve completed 72 games this year according to my trophy list – I think I need to get a life in 2018 xD
Merry Christmas everyone!

Night In The Woods has to take GOTY for me. Nothing else has come close

Not an option in the list but for me AC Origins was my biggest disappointment. Felt like it had absolutely no variety in its gameplay, and fetch quests running from one location to another to complete something tedious for some random NPC became particularly dull. Don’t think they improved the combat either, and hate that many abilities are locked away behind a multi-tiered level up system.
Yet to finish the game, though I will say the main characters and overall story so far are very good – but in terms of just having fun very disappointing

Added! You can feel free to vote again. :)

Dirt Rally VR and Battlezone are both very good VR titles though the sense of scale in Megaton Rainfall is quite breathtaking.
Agree with TonyCawley though, ultimately it has been all about Destiny, Destiny and more Destiny due to the fact that the other half and myself love to play it together.

That was hard to choose with so many great ganes out this year

My game of the year isn’t on the list, booooooo.

What is it?

Do expansions qualify? If so I’d request FFXIV: Stormblood for best multiplayer.

I’ll add it. Just for you. :)

Wolfenstein 2 biggest disappointment

Nier:Automata for me for GOTY by a gnats whisker from Horizon and Hellblade. Overall a great year with some outstanding games.
