[P] Gorm's Game Awards

Gorm in suit

Welcome to Gorm’s Game Awards! The premier (and only) event where your favorite games actually get the recognition they deserve, And let me tell you they WILL get what they deserve.

Each year, Gorm drags himself out of his pizza and popcorn filled lair, shakes off the Doritos dust to grudgingly bestow honors upon the worthy, brave, or lucky enough to have earned them. No corporate sponsors, no 17 minute trailers just pure, unfiltered chaos and questionable judging.

Expect zero filter, maximum grumbling, and awards decided by such scientific criteria as “this game is putrid.”, “this game has the good smells.”, “Wasted My Life the Most”, or “It bluescreed.” No ads disguised as world premieres. Just Gorm, some questionable categories, and the occasional roar of disapproval.

He’s not here for your feelings. He’s here because the mountain of review copies finally collapsed and buried his favorite nap spot, And his favorite piracy website is offline. He has zero tolerance for microtransaction excuses, and if you're very lucky Gorm might not set the stage on fire when he disagrees with the fan vote.

Let the dubious judging… begin!


2025


This year we’re starting off strong with the first winner! Who could it be? it’s a real mystery.


This year the winner of The Most Fascist Developer award is Mojang! *claps*

That's right the (current) developer of Minecraft the famous voxel game.

The decision was an easy one after they demanded that server owners remove the player’s right to free-speach. Only a company owned by Microsoft could be so authoritarian.



---- Next up ----

This next game is a bit late to the party, but we (by “we” I mean I) had to include it anyway.

Winner of the Labor of Love award goes to Terraria!

Another easy choice after the game's 4th final update released 1.4.5 Bigger & Bolder.

Perhaps Terraria will join us again next year after the 7th final update



---- Next up ----

This game has been pro-consumer (almost) since the very beginning, and is a resplendent example to other live service games.

After 12 years this game is still undefeated in the live service scene.

Winner of the Best Live Service game is WARFRAME!



---- Next up ----

The next game actually wins several awards!

And it’s a fan favorite among many readers for many years.


Winner of the BIG 3 awards:

1 Worst Technical Performance.

2 Most Anti-Consumer Systems.

3 Best 3rd Party Collaborations.


Is Fortnite!

That’s right, Fortnite had quite the year.

Lots of great collaborations now and more to come in the future.

I almost puked at the sight of the sidekick permanence mechanic.

Plenty of cool new game modes to explore.

I had to uninstall the game on PC after seeing it using 100% of my CPU and GPU sitting idle on the main menu.

okay this isn't funny anymore 💔 https://t.co/XRD9KniqeT pic.twitter.com/zMgldL5I3k
