The Steam Awards 2017

The Steam Selection Committee has spoken again for the 2017 Steam Awards Nominees. Here you'll find everything about Steam Awards 2017.

“Choices Matter”

Games are about agency, and this award is for the game that has it in spades. Maybe it’s because there are 31 ways you can breach into a villains lair. Perhaps there are dozens of potential partners for you to build a romantic future with. Or maybe you find yourself constantly saying “Where oh where should I plant those turnips”? In all three scenarios there is a common bond: the choice was always yours.

THE FINALISTS

• THE WITCHER® 3: WILD HUNT ✔
  
• DISHONORED 2
  
• DIVINITY: ORIGINAL SIN 2
  
• THE WALKING DEAD: A NEW FRONTIER
  
• LIFE IS STRANGE: BEFORE THE STORM

December 21st 10 AM PST

“Mom’s Spaghetti”

There are games that make you excited. There are games that make you happy. Then there are games so intense that they elicit a physical reaction. We’re talking weak knees. We’re talking sweaty palms. We’re talking fear-induced accidents. We’re talking your friends reminding you to breathe. We’re talking about mom’s spaghetti.

THE FINALISTS

• ALIEN: ISOLATION
  
• OUTLAST 2
  
• RESIDENT EVIL 7 BIOHAZARD / BIOHAZARD 7 RESIDENT EVIL
  
• PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS ✔
  
• THE EVIL WITHIN 2

December 22nd 10 AM PST

“Labor of Love”

This game has been out for a while. The team is well past the first unveiling of their creative baby, but being the good parents they are, these devs continue to nurture and support their creation. This game, to this day, is still getting new content after all these years.

THE FINALISTS

• TEAM FORTRESS 2
  
• CRUSADER KINGS II
  
• WARFRAME ✔
  
• PATH OF EXILE
  
• TITAN QUEST ANNIVERSARY EDITION

December 23rd 10 AM PST

“Suspension of Disbelief”

Let’s be honest: games can have some pretty ridiculous elements in them… from the stories that drive the action, to the items required to conquer obstacles, to even the protagonists themselves. This award is for the game that has a key component, which when described out of context, seems totally insane, but while playing the game doesn’t even make you bat an eye, because in the moment it makes total sense.

THE FINALISTS

• SAINTS ROW IV
  
• ROCKET LEAGUE® ✔
  
• GOAT SIMULATOR
  
• SOUTH PARK™: THE FRACTURED BUT WHOLE™

December 24th 10 AM PST

“The World Is Grim Enough Let's Just All Get Along”

Games delight and entertain us, giving us much needed breaks from the sorrows and low points of our lives… and let’s be honest, for a lot of people it’s been a rough 2017. That is why the SASC has chosen to celebrate a game that doesn’t involve combat or conflict.

THE FINALISTS

• TO THE MOON
  
• CITIES: SKYLINES
  
• ABZU
  
• STARDEW VALLEY ✔
  
• SLIME RANCHER

December 25th 10 AM PST

“No Apologies”

This award is for the game that you love unconditionally. Does it have some faults? Maybe. Do other people not understand your love for it? Sure. But make no mistake. There is no guilt here. Only pleasure.

THE FINALISTS

• THE WITCHER: ENHANCED EDITION DIRECTOR'S CUT ✔
  
• GOTHIC II: GOLD EDITION
  
• MOUNT & BLADE: WARBAND
  
• RUST
  
• HUNIEPOP

December 26th 10 AM PST

“Defies Description”

This game is like... well actually it's more similar to...picture a combination of... ya know what, I can't describe it, just play it.

THE FINALISTS

• GARRY'S MOD ✔
  
• ANTICHAMBER
  
• THE STANLEY PARABLE
  
• PONY ISLAND
  
• DOKI DOKI LITERATURE CLUB!

December 27th 10 AM PST

“Cry Havoc And Let Slip The Dogs Of War”

The Bard said it best. This game doesn't necessarily offer the biggest explosions... it offers something better. Potential. Potential to be a rampaging force of nature. Or not. Who knows. You're an agent of chaos and no one is going to tell you what to do.

THE FINALISTS

• RED FACTION GUERRILLA STEAM EDITION
  
• JUST CAUSE™ 3 ✔
  
• BROFORCE
  
• MIDDLE-EARTH™: SHADOW OF WAR™
  
• TOTAL WAR: WARHAMMER II

December 28th 10 AM PST

“Haunts My Dreams”

This award is slightly a misnomer, because this game doesn’t just haunt your dreams. It consumes your thoughts every waking moment of the day. This game doesn’t demand your time. You give it willingly.

THE FINALISTS

• DOTA 2
  
• COUNTER-STRIKE: GLOBAL OFFENSIVE ✔
  
• SID MEIER’S CIVILIZATION® VI
  
• DARK SOULS™ III
  
• FACTORIO

December 29th 10 AM PST

“Soul Of Vitruvius”

The Vitruvian Man was Leonardo’s celebration of the ideal form. And in that spirit the SASC looks to celebrate the game with the most lovingly rendered character… be it human, alien, anthropomorphic cat people, or even a piece of produce.

THE FINALISTS

• I AM BREAD
  
• RISE OF THE TOMB RAIDER™ ✔
  
• HELLBLADE: SENUA'S SACRIFICE
  
• BAYONETTA
  
• NIER:AUTOMATA™

December 30th 10 AM PST

“Whoooaaaaaaa, Dude! 2.0”

The Academy wasn't clear enough in the awards description last year. Let's try this again. This award is for the "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" of video games.

THE FINALISTS

• ANTICHAMBER
  
• HOTLINE MIAMI 2: WRONG NUMBER
  
• CPU INVADERS
  
• THE EVIL WITHIN 2 ✔
  
• LUNA

December 31st 10 AM PST

“Best Soundtrack”

There are very few things that can enhance a game better than music. The right song can set the tone for every aspect of gameplay, from simple exploration, to climatic boss fights. This award is for the soundtrack that captured the essence of their game so perfectly that it effortlessly immersed players into the game world.

THE FINALISTS

• TRANSISTOR
  
• CRYPT OF THE NECRODANCER
  
• CUPHEAD ✔
  
• UNDERTALE
  
• NIER:AUTOMATA™

January 1st 10 AM PST

“Even Better Than I Expected”

We’ve all been there. You get super excited for a game, you pre-order it, and you anxiously wait as it downloads. Then you finally play it. How do you feel now? If the answer is “Elated beyond words because even I, a conductor aboard the hype train, was blown away with how good this thing was” then you have found the perfect candidate for this award.

THE FINALISTS

• CUPHEAD ✔
  
• HOLLOW KNIGHT
  
• CALL OF DUTY®: WWII
  
• ASSASSIN'S CREED® ORIGINS
  
• SONIC MANIA
