The best game of 2024 according to Steam users, without much intrigue, turned out to be the Chinese action movie Black Myth: Wukong from developers from the Game Science studio. At home, the project literally has nationwide support.
In accordance with the updated nomination rules, Black Myth: Wukong was also able to take home awards in two more categories – “Best Game That You Can’t Give” and “Best Game with an Outstanding Story.”

The cooperative action thriller Helldivers 2 had no equal in the “Make a friend in the game” category, and the other contenders for the title of game of the year were left without awards – these are Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, Balatro and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl.
The game with the “outstanding visual style” was the remake of Silent Hill 2, and the action role-playing game Elden Ring, which received a large-scale expansion Shadow of the Erdtree in 2024, turned out to be invincible in the “Favorite Child” category.
