Valve’s Steam Awards, which were just announced last year for the very first time, allow Steam users to celebrate their favourite games of the year in an entirely unique way. In addition to providing eight official awards, Valve let players exercise some creativity in coming up with their own. Among the winners are Grand Theft Auto V, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and Goat Simulator.

- “Test of Time” – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
- “Just 5 More Minutes” – Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
- “Whoooaaaaaaa, dude!” – Grand Theft Auto V
- “Game Within A Game” – Grand Theft Auto V
- “I’m Not Crying, There’s Something In My Eye” – The Walking Dead
- “Best Use Of A Farm Animal” – Goat Simulator
- “Boom Boom” – Doom
- “Love/Hate Relationship” – Dark Souls III

Last year, gamers also nominated Half-Life 2 and No Man’s Sky for the Steam Awards.
