It's that time of the year again gaf. When the eyes of the internet descend on the forum to see what the finest people rate the game of the year. We're sticking with last year's voting platform but reduced some of the categories that felt a bit superfluous.

Changes/How to vote
Please review this thread detailing the new voting process

Deadline: Voting closes January 17th
Voting Link: https://www.neogaf.com/goty/

Can I post my list/choices in the thread?

Just tag me or Topher and we'll update the list and ping you back when done!

Neogaf GOTY 2022 |OT| Results thread

Since we are changing things up here at NeoGAF this year for our Game of the Year voting, we decided to also change up the results thread as well. There were a total of 25 categories this year, and each user was allowed to vote for a single game in each category. Voting was open from December...

[Sleepwalker]

Halo Infinite

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Hoping for an upset so let's all vote for the true GOTY of 2023 -- Armored Core 6!!

 

[Dacvak]

There are way too many GOTY contenders, it's so hard to pick!

Guess I'll just vote for The Day Before.

 

[jshackles]

If Gollum doesn't win the "It should have been on GamePass" award this year,

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

 

[kazuyamishima]

Mmmm, will this be another 2021 case?

 

[NeverYouMind]

If Gollum doesn't win the "It should have been on GamePass" award this year,

(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

Gollum should not even exist. Or was that The Day Before...

 

[Banjo64]

Thanks cormack12 & Topher

Tried to be as balanced as possible this year.

 

[Labadal]

This what I got so far. Havent played any platformers, anything good that released this year thats on steam/ps?

 

[Punished Miku]

I definitely need the remaining time before the deadline.

 

[The Lunch Legend]

I voted Starfield on everything.

 

[bender]

Topher Could we add Fear & Hunger 2: Termina?

 

[ReBurn]

It's going to take until January 17 to read that whole list of games. A lot of stuff released this year.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Topher Could we add Fear & Hunger 2: Termina?

I played the first one recently and it was so bleak, I loved it!

Is the second one as good?

 

[Tams]

'The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom' in all boxes.

Unless you're a REEEEEEEE person, in which case I put 'Hogwarts Legacy' in all boxes.

 

[intbal]

I suppose Jusant is considered an indie because Don't Nod self-published.
That was the only 2023 indie game I've played, so I guess that gets my vote in that category.

 

[Topher]

Topher Could we add Fear & Hunger 2: Termina?

cormack12 Topher hello guys, I would like to vote Caves of Lore as the indie game of the year. It is not in the list.

Submitted for addition. These won't be right away as the guy with the magic keys to the database has to do it. Check back

[Celcius]

Voted. Here's hoping Star Ocean 2R wins some awards for it's amazing menus, character designs, and RPG gameplay.

 

[Topher]

Sorry my man. That's a 2022 game. December 2022 game, but we are setting a hard line on 2023 games

 

[Robb]

Voted!

Thanks for all the work cormack12 & Topher , this is always fun!

 

[Laieon]

cormack12 or Topher , Add Halls of Torment to best please.

 

[Bonfires Down]

This what I got so far. Havent played any platformers, anything good that released this year thats on steam/ps?

There are a few I've read good things about. Strangely they all seem to aim for N64 era visuals.

Jusant probably qualifies as a platformer too.

Forgot about Pizza tower:

 

[EviLore]

Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty added

 

[Topher]

Voted!

Thanks for all the work cormack12 & Topher , this is always fun!

Also Palliasso for the DB additions

cormack12 or Topher , Add Halls of Torment to best please.

Added

That's a pretty cool looking game. Adding it to my wishlist

 

[bender]

Sorry my man. That's a 2022 game. December 2022 game, but we are setting a hard line on 2023 games

Boo.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Team Alan Wake let me hear youuuuuu!!

Will check them out. Thanks

 

[dreamstation]

Woo! Shame the banner in the OP only shows the big name games. Plenty of indie games worthy of inclusion!

Edit - Stasis: Bone Totem can't find

 

[Dazraell]

cormack12 Topher Could you add Stasis 2: Bone Totem to the list of eligible games?

 

[GHG]

Where I'm at so far:

Will go through the remaining options another time.

Everyone please play Astral Ascent:

It's the best indie/roguelite game since Hades and betters it in some ways.

 

[Majukun]

cormack12
Topher

can you add "your only move is hustle" to the list?

 

[Hudo]

Could someone add Moonring?

 

[Frwrd]

Why isn't Starfield in the Sports category too!? I heard this was a three-in-one type of game smfh

 

[cormack12]

We will get to adding these shortly!

 

[Silver Wattle]

I'll abstain from voting since I don't think I've played any notable games that have released this year, but I will say that this year has been an absolute banger.

 

[Portugeezer]

Good stuff. I try to keep it on things I've mostly played.

Hard to remember all the games this year though.

 

[Punished Miku]

[Aion002]

I voted basically for FFXVI, Armored Core 6 and Lies of P.

I know that BG3, Zelda and Spider 2 will win... but...

FFXVI is my goty.

 

[ikbalCO]

If FF16 doesnt win best first hour i'll have mental breakdown

 

[DryvBy]

"Should have been on Gamepass"

Most definitely Kong.

 

[tommib]

 

[AJUMP23]

Did some voting.

 

[CuNi]

cormack12 Topher can we get Lethal Company added?
Going in blind with friends, that was the best first hour of pure chaos I had in ages.

 

[killatopak]

It's fine to leave some others blank right? I don't think I've played a platformer released this year for example.

 

[intbal]

Did you jump in any games?
Congratulations! That's a platformer.
