Valve has bit-by-bit been revealing more about this year’s Steam Awards ahead of community voting opening.
Here are details on the categories and nominees that we know about so far…
STEAM AWARDS 2019 – MOST INNOVATIVE GAMEPLAY
This game is at the front lines of experimentation, pushing the boundaries of the medium with exciting, novel interactions and brain-breaking surprises. This game thinks outside the box, and pulls you out with it!
Nominees: Baba Is You, Slay the Spire, My Friend Pedro, Oxygen Not Included, Planet Zoo
STEAM AWARDS 2019 – OUTSTANDING STORY-RICH GAME
Some days, only a narrative-heavy game will hit the spot, and this one packs a wallop. It’s as gripping as any soap opera, and as well-tuned as a prestige-TV screenplay. Bravissimo — for making us feel things!
Nominees: Plague Tale Innocence, Disco Elysium, Far Cry New Dawn, Gears 5, Greedfall
