Besides the Critics’ Choice Award (doh!), the prices were voted by the public (anyone can vote online), so if you dislike the results, you can scream at each other in the comments, because it’s everyone (else)’s fault.

Last year, the overall Game of the Year prize was won by Dark Souls III, while Mass Effect Andromeda won the Most Wanted award. I sure hope that doesn’t jinx The Last of Us Part II.
