Welcome to /r/Gaming's Game of the Year awards!
Disclaimer: Terrible humor below. This is a popularity contest for those who voted, not a super big deal! The best "Other" category is not always the top answer either.
Biggest Letdown of 2017:
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Star Wars: Battlefront 2 | 5,519 | 47.3% |
| #2 | Mass Effect Andomeda | 2,655 | 22.8% |
| #3 | Destiny 2 | 1,839 | 15.8% |
How do you get everyone to hate a movie franchise that has a large portion of their franchise indebted to games as well? Lock nearly all progression off behind loot crates which can also be purchased. Damnit EA.
"Other" choice award:
still can't buy gf :(

you
... thanks
/r/Gaming's biggest controversy
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Star Wars: Battlefront 2 | 8,484 | 72.5% |
| #2 | Net Neutrality | 2,217 | 18.9% |
| #3 | Mass Effect: Andromeda facial animations | 361 | 3.1% |
Early on, EA is running away with the most rewards. Probably not the way they wanted to though..
"Other" choice award:
This terrible poll
You're the one taking it!
"Early Access Done Right" Award
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | PlayerUnknown's: Battlegrounds | 3,587 | 34.7% |
| #2 | Fornite | 3,113 | 30.2% |
| #3 | Divinity: Original Sin II | 2,609 | 25.3% |
The 1v1 battle between games that pride themselves in a one against all free-for-all; how oddly poetic. PUBG walks away one shot away from death, with this one by only a few hundred votes.
"Other" choice award:
The Witcher 3
ಠ_ಠ
Best Debut Indie Game
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Cuphead | 7,880 | 73.5% |
| #2 | Hollow Knight | 1,765 | 16.5% |
| #3 | Slime Rancher | 464 | 4.3% |
While Golf Story and Hollow Knight were some of this year's best indie games, Cuphead walks away with this one in stunning fashion.
"Other" choice award:
Doki Doki Liturature Club
You all really made me aware of the mistake I made in forgetting this title.
Best Independent Game
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Cuphead | 6,079 | 57.2% |
| #2 | Hollow Knight | 1,438 | 13.5% |
| #3 | Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice | 1,339 | 12.6% |
I mean, I almost didn't ask this or the last question because I just assumed at this point it would win.
"Other" choice award:
Why is there a trout under the TV Adam? Is this some kind of joke? A cry for help? What am I to make of this? What are you doing? Put down that knife. PUT DOWN THAT KNIFE, ADAM!
Most Anticipated
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Red Dead Redemption II | 4,261 | 38.1% |
| #2 | The Last of Us Part II | 2,855 | 25.5% |
| #3 | Monster Hunter: World | 1,878 | 16.8% |
Hear me out. 3 protagonists. A Union solider, a Confederate solider, and a Native American. They have to work together to find a ton of gold somewhere. They aren't friends and are constantly at each other's throats. The game ends with a three-way Mexican Standoff where the outcome is determined by the player.
"Other" choice award:
Every game
That's the spirit.
Best Esports Game
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Overwatch | 3,569 | 33% |
| #2 | Rocket League | 2,630 | 24.3% |
| #3 | League of Legends | 1,687 | 15.6% |
"Other" choice award:
Rainbow Six: Siege
Wouldn't have won outright, but your voice and opinion should definitely be noted. Rainbow Six: Siege is a community favorite and has stuck around a lot longer than most of us probably thought. Kudos to Ubisoft on this one.
Best Multiplayer
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds | 4,338 | 40.3% |
| #2 | Fortnite | 1,856 | 17.2% |
| #3 | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | 1,499 | 13.9% |
Looks like we've got ourselves some buttery roasted chicken. I might head over to KFC after I'm finished writing this. /r/HailCorporate
"Other" choice award:
The Witcher 3
I've actually seen this voted for in almost every category now, regardless if it even fits. I have a feeling someone went through this entire thing while wearing the Witcher medallion around his neck, "Yessss, my preciuous."
Best Sports/Racing Game
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Forza Motorspot 7 | 2,550 | 29.3% |
| #2 | Fifa 18 | 1,387 | 16% |
| #3 | Project Cars 2 | 1,213 | 14% |
Even with it's turbulent release, Forza raced to the front of the pack early with the poll position, and held the lead throughout the race.
"Other" choice award:
The Witcher 3
Forgot about the horse racing bits.
Best Strategy Game
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | XCOM 2: War of the Chosen | 3,166 | 33.2% |
| #2 | Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle | 2,842 | 29.8% |
| #3 | Total War: Warhammer II | 2,035 | 21.3% |
I'm just going to leave my personal feelings on the game (Love the series btw)
"Other" choice award:
They are Billions
Steampunk survival RTS. Gotta love it.
Best Family Game The Mario Showdown Award
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Super Mario Odyssey | 4,849 | 46.5% |
| #2 | Mario Kart 8 Deluxe | 4,129 | 39.6% |
| N/A | N/A |
I debated calling it "The Nintendo Game of the Year", but held back since Splatoon (The third place winner) wasn't really even close. In the race between the world's two favorite Mario games, the winner is.. Nintendo!
"Other" choice award:
Hunniepop
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Best Fighting Game
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Injustice 2 | 3,808 | 40.8% |
| #2 | Tekken 7 | 2,200 | 23.6% |
| #3 | ARMS | 1,295 | 13.9% |
Guess it really wasn't an ARMS race, was it? HA. Haha.. Sorry I did that joke such Injustice
"Other" choice award:
the one where the guy hits the other guy
Yeah, me too.
Best Role Playing Game
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Persona 5 | 2,163 | 20.7% |
| #2 | Divinity: Original Sin 2 | 2,142 | 20.5% |
| #3 | South Park: The Fractured But Whole | 1,986 | 19% |
We were really spoiled this year weren't we? Not every RPG lover will like all of this, but Persona 5 and Divinity proved to be legendary sequels. Then you could kick back and laugh at fart jokes all day on South Park. A deservedly close race. Even NieR was NieR the top (I'll stop soon, I promise).
"Other" choice award:
Horizon Zero Dawn
While very light on the RPG elements, for the number of votes you folks placed it's worthy of being mentioned. Again, I reiterate, we were spoiled this year.
Best Action/Adventure Game
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild | 4,779 | 42.9% |
| #2 | Horizon Zero Dawn | 2,565 | 23% |
| #3 | Super Mario Odyssey | 1,294 | 11.6% |
After coming two points away from tying one of it's predecessors for the highest metacritic score of all-time, Breath of the Wild deservedly sits in the number one spot. While Mario also tied Breath of the Wild in terms of meta score, it seems users agree it's their pick of the two.
"Other" choice award:
NieR Automata
From Video Gamer, "NieR: Automata has more creativity and self-awareness in its little finger than most games have for their entire run time. Don’t miss this because it’s sandwiched between other, bigger games."
Best Action Game
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Cuphead | 3,634 | 34.7% |
| #2 | Wolfenstein II | 3,124 | 29.8% |
| #3 | Nioh | 1,411 | 13.5% |
Our winner was just a Cup-a-head when it came to the vote totals. A slim 500 votes.
"Other" choice award:
Your mother was the best action I got all year.
:(
Best VR/AR Game

| #2 | Superhot VR | 2,939 | 32.4% |
| #3 | Star Trek: Bridge Crew | 1,351 | 14.9% |
Resident Evil 7 was one of the SUPER HOT games of the SUPER HOT. SUPER HOT. SUPERHOT. SUPERHOT. SUPERHOT SUPERHOTSUPERHOTSUPERHOTSUPERHOT.
"Other" choice award:
Skyrim
That's a SUPERHOT thing to say.
Best Handheld Game

| #2 | Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valentia | 1,914 | 22.6% |
| #3 | Monster Hunter Stories | 1,824 | 21.5% |
Game Informer said it best, "This might be Samus’ first 2D adventure in more than a dozen years, but it’s a great reminder of why we fell in love with the franchise in the first place."
"Other" choice award:
Pokémon Ultra Moon/Sun
Wins with about 20 votes because I'm dumb and forgot to put it in here.. Also, there was the obligatory "Corey in the House".
Best Mobile Game
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Fire Emblem Heroes | 2,963 | 33.4% |
| #2 | Super Mario Run | 2,726 | 30.7% |
| #3 | Monument Valley 2 | 1,798 | 20.3% |
Nintendo went all out for mobile this year. Excuse me, Nintendo Game Software.
"Other" choice award:
Skyrim
Soon you'll be able to play it on a refrigerator.
Best Shooter
| Rank | Game | Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Playerunknown's Battlegrounds | 2,625 | 24.2% |
| #2 | Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus | 2,193 | 20.2% |
| #3 | Fortnite: Battle Royale | 1,070 | 9.9% |
You all made the wrong pick. The other moderators forced me to put this in, but everyone knows this game is only played with pans.
