Each year, along with all the other end-of-year game awards being done across the industry, the PlayStation Blog asks players to vote in different categories based on games from the previous year.
This year, unsurprisingly, is dominated by God Of War Ragnarok, which takes home the platinum trophy in 10 of the 16 total categories.
The only reason it didn’t take home platinum trophies for the other six categories is simply because it didn’t qualify.
So, if there was another category in which God Of War Ragnarok could be voted for, it seems like it would’ve won that too.
You can check out the full list of winners with runner-ups marked by gold, silver, and bronze trophies for yourself, here.
