Hi everyone. What would you like to see beyond the obvious overall and genre categories? We've developed some custom internal functionality for this year, so let's go all out and broaden the scope of the NeoGAF Awards.

actual game design awards like:

Best Combat Design
Best Level Design
Best Puzzle Design
etc


and separate awards that distinguish between the technical and the creative

Best Art Direction (use of color, light, style choices, etc, a creative award)
Best Environment Art (technical award, best looking environments basically)
Best Character Art (technical award, best looking chracater models basically)
Best Audio Fidelity (technical award, like the sound mix & quality)
Best Sound Design (use of sound, style choices, a creative award)


more specific awards the merrier I'd say

 

[-Zelda-]

Best Character Creator in a game.

 

[DanEON]

Wokest Game

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

Most innovative game…games that push the medium or try something unique should be rewarded. Games like immortality, NORCO, vampire survivor, etc…what they do isn’t new but they do something unique with established conventions that aren’t used often.

 

[Sub_Level]

Most Underrated Game of 2022

Sexiest Character of 2022 (can include men)

Best Voice Actor of 2022

 

[asdasdasdbb]

GOTY... that's not Elden Ring

 

[Saber]

The most Soycuck game of the year
The gaming journalist difficulty level of the year
The worst trashtalk game of the year
The wokiest game of the year

 

[UnNamed]

Best butts in gaming
Tits that looks so good in games sometimes

 

[TintoConCasera]

Best butts in gaming
Tits that looks so good in games sometimes

Too bad Stellar Blade hasn't come out yet.

 

[Roberts]

Best picture book game award.

 

[cormack12]

Sexiest Character of 2022 (can include men)

 

[intheinbetween]

Best butt

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Best Indie (Even though we all know the answer to this one)
Best Visual Style

I'd like to think of some fun/funny ones but my humor bone is malfunctioning today.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Most Broken Game would be fun to see.

 

[ahtlas7]

Best booth babe *canceled*
Best AAAA Title

 

[Thaedolus]

Biggest Hog or BDE

(I guess maybe you could go with something like “ambitious” but that’s no fun)

 

[Jennings]

Best Costume/outfit design.
After playing Witcher 3 again recently I'm reminded just how spectacular outfits are in that game compared to other fantasy games and I think there are plenty of 2022 games that also deserve recognition for their efforts on this front.

Best first hour of gameplay.
As great as some games can be as a whole, too many just utterly fail to reel players in quickly. Triangle Strategy, Pentiment, Death Stranding are great examples of games that need their first few hours completely overhauled, while games like High on Life absolutely nail it. Games that succeed here deserve praise and accolades.

 

[Thabass]

Are guys showing any new trailers this year too?

 

[ScHlAuChi]

Best No-Show
for any games that were announced but didnt show up this year

 

[MadPanda]

Best regulatory approval argument
