As far as GDCA nominees go here are just a few: Bloodborne, Downwell, Fallout 4, Her Story, Lara Croft: GO, Life is Strange, Undertale and The Witcher 3. However, Until Dawn is sadly missing from the list. There's a bit of overlap between the GDC and the IGF noms as well, but the latter also includes the likes of Cibele, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Oxenfree and That Dragon, Cancer.

So what made you cheer, cry or throw a controller last year? The GDCA and IGF folks want to know. For a peek at what the Engadget Gaming crew loved last year, be sure to check out our editor's choice picks.
