Valve has announced the winners of the 2021 Steam Awards. Resident Evil Village won Game of the Year in 10 different awards.

Resident Evil Village’s competitors in that category include Valheim, New World, Cyberpunk 2077 and Forza Horizon 5.

Players are entirely deciding which games will be nominated in the Steam Awards, so you may be surprised by the results, especially in some categories. Some games can also ask players to be nominated in certain categories.

If we look at the winners in other branches:

VR Game of the Year: Cooking Simulator VR (Sniper Elite VR, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond, I Expect You To Die 2, Blair Witch VR Edition)
Game Continued with Love: Terraria (Dota 2, Rust, No Man;s Sky, Apex Legends)
More Fun With Friends: It Takes Two (Valheim, Back 4 Blood, Halo Infinite, Crab Game)
Superior Visual Style: Forza Horizon 5 (Psychonauts 2, Subnautica: Below Zero, Little Nightmares 2, Bright Memory: Infinite)
Most Innovative Gameplay: Deathloop (Inscryption, Twelve Minutes, Moncage, Loop Hero)
Best Game You’ve Ever Had: Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition (World War Z: Aftermath, Naraka Bladepoint, Age of Empires 4, Battlefield 2042)
Best Soundtrack: Marvel;s Guardians of the Galaxy (Nier Replicant, Persona 5 Strikers, Guilty Gear Strive, Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles)
Outstanding Game with Rich Story: Cyberpunk 2077 (Life is Strange: True Colors, Resident Evil Village, Days Gone, Mass Effect Legendary Edition)
Sit Back and Relax: Farming Simulator 22 (Unpacking, Potion Craft, Townscaper, Dorf Romantic)

I’ve only been able to hit two branches this year, and I’ve always voted for other candidates, except for The Best Game You’ve Ever Had With Friends. How are things with you?
