My personal choices are:

The “Test of Time” Award - Jagged Alliance 2 - something I fondly remember from my early gaming days and if you put some modern resolution mods on top of it, it still holds up due to the gameplay and the writing.

The “I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye” Award - Papo & Yo - I guess there are other games that better suit this category, but it's the one that came to mind and the song that plays during the final credits breaks my heart in two every time I hear it.

The “Just 5 More Minutes” Award - RimWorld - Had me up after midnight two nights in a row after I've reinstalled it recently. Hella addictive.

The “Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!” Award - The Stanley Parable - well, we all know what's whoooaaa about The Stanley Parable :)

The “Villain Most In Need Of A Hug” Award - Brutal Legend - the villain surely needs a hug. And a kiss. And perhaps even some lovin'.

The “Game Within A Game” Award - The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - I don't own this game, neither have I played it by other means, but it's the one that came to mind, with Gwent being talked about quite frequently.

The “I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award” Award - Path of Exile - I think I've played this during the open beta stages three years ago, so I think that counts. Recently tried playing again, but then went on to play Titan Quest AE instead :)

The “Best Use Of A Farm Animal” Award - Goat Simulator - I mean, is there really any other choice?

The “Your Category Name Here” Award - I went with "Still Cheaper Elsewhere, Even During Sales" and my pick was "Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor", which I've picked up last week on BundleStars for 5 EUR, while Steam had it at 10 EUR. Sort of a cheeky category, but I wanted to have the whole set, plus had to write a review :)

Well, for me it's the first video game that I've played that deconstructs video games as a whole, so it was refreshing and exciting to experience something like that.

May I ask about your nomination for "Whoa, dude" award?

I nominated Saints Row IV for that. Can't say why, of course, massive spoilers. ;)

P.S. I have never played the Stanley Parable. It's on my wishlist but I doubt I will ever buy it because when I look at the things I like in games, it has 0 of them, as far as I am aware.

The “Test of Time” Award - Original War - Seriously why don't more people know about this game? One of the most unique (while still being good) RTS I've ever played.

The “Just 5 More Minutes” Award - Factorio - Logged over 500 hours in a single day. Somehow. That's how it felt anyways.

The “Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!” Award - TIS-100/Infinifactory - It only works in the context of both of these games. Not sure which one I'll pick.

The “Game Within A Game” Award - Shenzen I/O - You can make a game inside this game.

The “I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award” Award - Men of War: Assault Squad 2 - It still hasn't won an award.

The “Best Use Of A Farm Animal” Award - EDF 4.1 - What do you mean giant ants aren't farm animals?

How did I miss this thread during the event?
Meh, weeks late, but here is my list. Tried to stick to 2016 releases, re-releases or at least 2016 ports.


The “Test of Time” Award - EVE Online - Old, still griefy, still fun.

The “I'm Not Crying, There's Something In My Eye” Award - Princess Maker 2 Refine - okay, stop laughing.

The “Just 5 More Minutes” Award - Stellaris - any game that makes me spend 300 hours in a single month deserves an award for that.

The “Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!” Award - EDF 4.1 - because Whooooaaaaaaaa is a reaction we had a lot. Mostly because of (hilarious) bugs, but we still had them.

The “Villain Most In Need Of A Hug” Award - Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen, it fits both, the Seneshal from the original and Daimon from Dark Arisen.

The “Game Within A Game” Award - Secret World - Those investigation quests. I hate them, and I really love them at the same time.

The “I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award” Award - Rimworld - sounds kinda hipster, but I've been playing since A5 or so, long before it got popular.

The “Best Use Of A Farm Animal” Award - Worms WMD - Because lack of options. I mean, Sheep rock, but I would have gone with Goat Simulator if it wasn't too old.

The “Best game that got ruined” Award - Tree of Savior - which would be my Holy Grail in terms of gameplay, but it is ruined by IMCs weird anti-botting policy and them limiting everything in order to force money out of players.
