VGU.TV’s Official 2020 Game of the Year Awards

Welcome to our 2020 Game of the Year Awards! Allan Muir,  Josh Miller, Graydon Webb and I have all spent the last 3 weeks arguing over these categories on the Player’s Club Podcast to the point where we’ve all come to a consensus on all of them finally. If you’ve been following along with those podcast episodes, or even have been keeping up with our Twitter, many of these will be familiar to you. But for everyone else, here are the winners for each of our 15 categories, culminating with our Top 10 Games of 2020. We’ll be organizing the list into three parts, with each part corresponding to the episode of The Player’s Club Podcast where the categories are discussed.
