Baldur's Gate 3 So he was able to take the Prize for the deepest plot: PC players were fascinated by the narrated events as well as the depth of the dialogues and possible choices.
As we expected earlier, there are some surprises that make us wonder “Protest” votes. Or at least definitely Not very serious: It is impossible not to notice The “Act of Love” award was given to Red Dead Redemption 2.
Not why Red Dead Redemption 2 Awards are not worthy – in fact, more than one award in this writer's opinion – but why should the recognition in question be reserved for those games that have been Support for a long time and over time By developers. The second is the western open world (which you can find On Amazon) It has not received any major official updates since 2020.
It's impossible not to notice the insurance premium as well Most Innovative Game was awarded to Starfield: An admission that somewhat contradicts the many negative reviews that have been set by users on Steam, where it has been highlighted Lack of innovation and various problems.
Briefly, not clear Whether most players actually think they are suitable prizes remains to be seen Or whether it is a matter of “dwarf” voting. Who won in the end, but the community awarded its prizes. Whether you agree or not.
All we can do is meet you next year for the upcoming Steam Awards, and hope to see 2024 filled with great video game releases.
