Hello Survivors,
Yes yes, we're a bit late to the party but we still want to throw our hat in the ring. If you enjoyed playing Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor, consider nominating us for the Steam Awards.
Steam makes us pick a category to feature in this post, and while we're obviously a shoo-in for all of them, we think "Best Game on Steam Deck" is where we have the best chances.
We also wanted to give a shout-out to some excellent games we enjoyed this year and recommend that you try them or nominate them.
For the Outstanding Visual Style Award, John, our Chad UX Designer, is nominating Songs of Silence. It has gorgeous, art nouveau style visuals that he thinks are fairly unique in the games industry. Remember kids, if it looks like elves made it, it's Art Nouveau. If it looks like dwarves made it, it's Art Deco.
For the Labour of Love Award, our artist Allan is nominating Elden Ring, particularly for the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion. He says: "If you're too afraid to tell your significant other that you like it rough, just play Shadow of the Erdtree in front of them." Glad that worked for you, Allan!
For the Better with Friends Award, we are nominating Helldivers 2 for being the second best bug-blasting-in-space game to come out this year.
For the Most Innovative Gameplay Award, we are nominating Balatro - a game that came out just 6 days after DRG:S, and stole way too many hours of our free time.
Remember voting ends December 4th, 10 AM Pacific (that's 7 PM where we're at).
