Winner’s Reward Ceremony
In this review, we will share the list of the best 2021 games in various categories. Let’s start!
The Best Storyline – Guardians of the Galaxy
The story of GotG is highly appreciated by most modern reviewers including GameTop. The plot turns around the daily routine of the Guardians: a brave team of either losers or saviors of the universe intrudes into the forbidden zone for profit and accidentally starts a catastrophe. Of course, there is no one else to deal with the consequences of this mess – and the Guardians are sent to save this galaxy.
The Best Game Design – Deathloop
The plot of Deathloop is rather trivial – the main character named Colt wakes up in a certain place with partial amnesia and does not really understand what is going on around him. Fortunately, he turns out to be extremely quick-witted and, at the first opportunity, grabs a weapon, begins to learn how to handle guns and collect all sorts of things, along the way realizing his place in this world. As it turns out, the island of Black Reef fell into a time anomaly, and you will have to survive.
The Best Strategy – Age of Empires 4
Fans have been waiting for a full-fledged sequel to the series for 16 years. In Age of Empires IV, players become participants in historical events, controlling one of 8 medieval civilizations. At the start, four unique campaigns and 35 tasks are available. The game adheres to the traditions of the genre but competently dilutes the usual gameplay with fresh mechanics. In the background of the total stagnation of the genre, this is already a great success.
The Best RPG – Tales of Arise
Tales of Arise is another episode in the popular RPG series with a 25-year history. Moreover, this time the authors promised to deviate from the canons, making the new project more advanced and versatile than the previous parts of the franchise. The new story invites you to go on an epic adventure in order to save your world from powerful invaders. For this, a squad of heroes with unique abilities will have to learn how to interact with each other under your strict guidance.
The Best Multiplayer Game – It Takes Two
This is a cooperative adventure game, the gameplay of which is built around a variety of different mechanics that require constant interaction from players. The developer’s daring statements about the incredible variability of game situations in It Takes Two have been fully confirmed: today it is one of the most diverse games both in terms of the number of gameplay situations and game mechanics, and to see all the content, you have to go through the game more than once.
