From November 2022 until today, gamers have been voting on their favorite titles of the year across 11 categories for the annual Steam Awards, and the winners have now been revealed. Although a number of winners may not come as a surprise to anyone that paid attention to major releases last year, a few interesting choices bring attention to some noteworthy titles on Steam.

At this point, it goes without saying that Elden Ring is one of the most popular games of the past year. It’s won copious trophies, including the coveted Game of the Year accolade at The Game Awards. It blasted developer FromSoftware into mainstream critical acclaim. It was even the most completed and most quit game of 2022. Elden Ring is a mega-hit, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it also won Game of the Year in Steam’s annual user-voted awards. As Elden Ring hogs all the trophies, though, Steam’s user base also slipped the game’s community an award all its own: Elden Ring is the best game you probably suck at. Sheesh, Steam is ruthless.

The best end-of-year awards celebrate not just the blockbusters, but all the oddities, one-offs, and surprises that make PC gaming so exciting. Naturally I think RPS's favourite games of 2022 do that. I reckon you could put together a public vote that does the same, either with careful editorialising of award categories or some weighting of votes. Alas!
