Fair enough . Thanks for the insight . <| sep |> My picks wereThe Test of Time Award Borderlands 2 I considered a few other games here , like various versions of CS , but then I realized I ' d not played any of them for more than 6 months . The I ' m Not Crying , There ' s Something In My Eye Award Life Is Strange Quite a few games make me go teary eyed , movies too for that matter , I guess I just enjoy getting emotionally invested in stuff , so I just picked the one I liked the best overall . The Just 5 More Minutes Award Shroud of the Avatar Forsaken Virtues I ' ve played it for more than a thousand hours , I even logged on at 2 AM last night for ' a quick half hour ' and ended up playing it until half four . The Whoooaaaaaaa , dude ! Award Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition The physics based combat system and the way you can complete most quests in multiple ways both surprised and delighted me . The Villain Most In Need Of A Hug Award Anna ' s Quest Spoilers , but yes , the villain really badly needs a hug . The Game Within A Game Award Saints Row IV open world combat with minigames is sort of the whole design , but I really like the retrogame bits in the Matt quest line . The I Thought This Game Was Cool Before It Won An Award Award Firewatch still not sure on this one , may change it , but mostly picked because it ' s one of the rare talked about indie games that launched simultaneously for Linux . The Best Use Of A Farm Animal Award Goat Simulator well duh . The Free Games that I felt I should have paid for Award Everlasting Summer I ' ve played it for more than 15 hours , even with using the ' skip seen text ' option , and it cost me nothing .
