The best games of 2022 on Steam already have a name, and you already know the winner without telling you

3 days ago we closed 2022 and the typical moments of remembrance and reconsideration fell into oblivion until next year. Even so, Steam is a little late and although all these glimpses are given before closing on December 31, today we finally know who the winners of The Steam Awards. Apart from this, little can be said to Valve and that is that its method is infallible: close the entire year and post from January 1 to December 31. So let’s take a look at the winners of the Steam Awards with special attention to one category.

And no, far from the prize to Best Game of 2022 that has been taken, without a doubt, by Elden Ring, the category that has made me most curious is that of the award for “love and dedication“with a Cyberpunk 2077 redeeming itself after 2 years of beatings. And it is that, it is clear that the game of the Poles has managed to open up to a larger audience, either due to its anime on Netflix or the next gen update, but its image has improved That being said, let’s see the winners:

Voting for these awards has been open throughout the month of December and only the community could vote in them. Stray’s case is extremely curious and, in fact, his nomination for the past The Game Awards 2022 also raised some controversy. Here he has defeated Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord or Neon White.

Of course, it is quite curious to see how only 3 of the games on the list belong entirely to this 2022. Titles like God of War or Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales are ports of PlayStation exclusives with years behind him; Raft and Cyberpunk 2077 have been hanging around the Steam libraries for years; while Death Stranding Director’s Cut was released last 2021 on PS5 and this is nothing more than a port of that same version.

Be that as it may, here we have a list that is difficult for us to discuss. Elden Ring rises victorious again at another awards ceremony and has already become the game with the most “Best Game of the Year” awards over The Last of Us Part 2; an immovable from Sony that can’t complain either with 322 awards, two below FromSoftware’s RPG.
