Love that the Steam Awards are recognizing a broader spectrum of gamer experiences, from the sweat-inducing 'Best Game You Suck At' to the artistic achievements in visual and narrative design. It's a cool way for the community to cheer on those games that kept our thumbs busy and our wallets a touch lighter, especially with big names like Hogwarts Legacy and the upcoming thrill of Diablo 4 in the mix

I love how the Steam Awards aren't just about which games are the best overall; they celebrate different elements that can make games special to each player, like that Best Game You Suck At category, which is a cheeky nod to the challenging favorites. It's a cool way for us gamers to give props to the games that have shaped the year, from indie gems to AAA powerhouses, all while snagging some sweet deals during the sale.
