Normally the steam awards winners are real stinkers, but the voters had shockingly good taste this year.

Damn, they did my boy The Alters dirty. Not a single win.
Also, Arc Raiders most innovative? Isn’t it just an (admittedly improved) extraction shooter?
The arc are ectremely impressive enemies and feel like nothing I’ve ever fought in a game, and the matchmaking system puts you in matvhes with people that have the same level of aggression. So it’s not your regular extraction shooter where NPCs are a sidenote and everyone plays kill on sight and that’s extremely refreshing
My one issue with Alters was if you make certain decisions with what to produce or work on, at certain points, I had to roll back pretty far to undo them to just survive upcoming events. Really cool game otherwise.
It’s definitely flawed. But I found it to be original if nothing else and a breath of fresh air in a sea of extraction shooters, rogueliles and soulslikes. Rather reminded me of Death Stranding when it came out.
I love the story of that game, too, but being unable to progress at those points makes for a good strategy game while also being antithetical to its message, lol.
