The Steam Awards this year has a variety of typical categories you’d expect from an Awards, but they do have fun ones like ‘Best Game you Suck at’ with Nioh 2: Compete Edition announced as the winner, and understandably so. All the winners in the Steam Awards were voted by the Steam community.

Cyberbunk 2077 failed to nab the Game of the Year award but they did walk home winning in the ‘Outstanding Story-rich Game’ award. A game that launched with numerous issues in 2020, was able to beat out new titles like Life is Strange: True Colors, and even a beloved trilogy, Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
