Game of the Year Nominees
The Game of the year award is the highest honor award it is meant for the best game made during a year and even though all of them have a good chance at winning for their
own reasons their can only be on winner, but here are the nominees for the game of the year: Alan Wake 2, by Epic Games and Remedy Entertainment; The Legend of
Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom M, by Nintendo and Nintendo Entertainment; Resident Evil 4: Remake by Capcom; Super Mario Bros. Wonder, by Nintendo and Nintendo Entertainment; Baldur’s Gate 3 , by Larian Studios; and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, by Insomniac Games and Sony Entertainment.
All these games are the best of the best this year and I wish good luck to all of them! If you noticed, Nintendo has two games made by them on the list. If you would ask me who I’m rooting for this awards, I would say, Spider-Man 2 all the way.
Best Art Direction Nominees
For the best art direction nominees we have three game award nominees which includes; Alan Wake 2, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the
Kingdom.
Two new nominees are running for this award and they are Hi-Fi Rush, by Bethesda Softworks and Tango Gameworks; and Lies of P, by Neowiz Games and Round 8 Studio. Don’t get me wrong, all these games have a great chance at winning with their beautiful Visual designs and graphics. I have no idea which one will
win but I’m Rooting for The Legend Of Zelda.
Best Indie Game Nominees
A Indie game is for the best game made independently; not by a big studio or a million dollar company. Sometimes it’s just a kid in there room but the game award can change that for so many people winning this is no laughing matter. This could be some people’s debut creation and if it wins, it could change their lives forever! Here are the nominees: Dave The Diver ,by MINTROCKET; Viewfinder, by Sad Owl Studio and Thunderful Publishing; Sea of Stars, by Sabotage Studio; Cocoon, by Annapurna Interactive and Geometric Interactive; and lastly, Dredge, by Team17 and Black Salt Games. The winner of this award should be Viewfinder . It was a great game and I had a fun time playing it. I’m sure with a little more recognition and money, that this creator can be big someday.
The 2023 Game Awards not only celebrated the best games of the year but also highlighted the diverse talent and innovation driving the gaming industry forward. As technology continues to advance, the limit for excellence in gaming is set higher each year, challenging developers to explore new things and deliver unforgettable experiences to players around the globe. The winners of the 2023 Game Awards are not only deserving of their accolades but serve as a testament to the ever-growing artistry and impact of video games in our interconnected world.
