Continuing the trend begun last year, I wanted to model some Game of the Year awards through categories in addition to simply ranking my personal favorites. Between now and the dawn of 2022, I'll be updating this page regularly with new entries for each category, so make sure to check in and see what titles win which awards.

The Categories

• Best Old Game
• Best Streaming Game
• Best Music
• Best Style
• Best Multiplayer
• Best Story
• Best Game

For each of these categories, I'll choose a winner and mention some notable runner-ups. Any game nominated or chosen for any of these cateories is then eligible for the final category, Best Game, which is the culminating category where I will construct a ranked list of my favorite games from this year.

Best Old Game

Genshin Impact

Since Genshin Impact's launch, I have played the game every single day. For those counting, that is over 450 consecutive days of playing the same game. Part of the reason for this is the drip feed of premium currency that is part of miHoYo's strategy to monetize its players, but a large part of why that is fine with me (and I keep coming back) is because the world of Teyvat is huge, bountiful, and fun to be in. Beyond the game's surprisingly great main story, there's also always something new getting added game, ensuring you always have something to look forward to. I'm no stranger to gacha games and the way they string people along, but my enthusiasm for 2020's Game of the Year hasn't waned much--if at all--through the duration of 2021, making it the easy top choice for best old game.

Runner Ups: Good Sudoku, Night in the Woods, Alto's Odyssey: The Lost City
