This time it was the Steam community that chose the best games of the year. The winners include two Polish games whose producers and publishers are listed on the WSE main market.
Traditionally, the end of the old and the beginning of the new year is a period of summaries, plebiscites and awards for the past 12 months. Last week, we presented the winners of the most popular games sold on the platform in terms of generated revenues or the number of concurrent players. The list prepared by the Steam team includes several Polish productions, including “Cyberpunk 2077” and “Outriders”. Now it was the platform community that had the opportunity to choose the best games in several categories.
The list of laureates includes a production from the largest stock exchange studio in Poland and a title issued by a newly minted debutant on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Steam users from December 22 to January 3 could vote in 10 categories: game of the year; VR game of the year; the fruit of love; better together; brilliant visual style; the most innovative entertainment; the best game you suck in; the best soundtrack; plays with an excellent plot; sit back and relax. The full list of winners is available here.
Not so bad and it will be even better
According to the Cyberpunk 2077 community, the best production in the “game with a great story” category was. “It is suspenseful like a soap opera and is as polished as a script for a high-budget series. This game deserves applause for making us feel something! ” – was written in the summary of the award.
Undoubtedly, one cannot remain indifferent to the production of CD Projekt. Despite the false start with the premiere release (especially for consoles), the game has significantly improved over the year and thanks to this it is getting better and better reviews. Players are convinced of the production as evidenced by over 11 thousand. User reviews written in the last month alone, 74% of which evaluates the game positively. In total, to over 420 thousand. mostly positive reviews. The Wszcyskis, however, are waiting for the version for the latest generation of consoles, which will be released in the first quarter along with a major update of the entire CD Projekt game.
Cyberpunk was also in a small group of games nominated in the “game of the year” category. However, this title went to “Resident Evil Village” from the Japanese studio Capcom listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
