The list looks very awkward but congrats to Overwatch!

Well said. The logic behind the choices is inscrutable. Inside is apparently better than both Dishonored 2 & Overwatch on XB1, while Dishonored 2 is better than both Inside and Overwatch on PS4.

Actually, it makes sense if you figure they wanted to not hurt either MS or Sony fanboy feelings with these awards, but didn't put much thought into it beyond that.

Uncharted 4 one the peoples awards. It's the game we needed, not the game we deserved. We are forever humble Mr DRAKE!!

Of the awaded games, I would've given GOTY for Pokemon Go. Or maybe Pokemon S&M, take that as you will.

I mean, I haven't played it personally but it just got such a huge resonance. Must probably be well deserved - like, everyone is or was talking about it at some point in time lol.

Dishonored 2? Tragic. Wouldnt make it to my top3 ps4 games of last year.

Since Overwatch was GOTY they should had given best PC game to another game. Like Doom. Besides that, this is a great list that is devoid of console bias and dares to reject the obvious fan-hyped games in favor of those that, they actually think, truly deserve the awards.

It kind of seems they liked the PC version so much more, considering Overwatch didn't win on Xbox One and PS4 despite being available on both. My interpretation about the results is that Inside and Dishonored 2 were better than Overwatch on consoles (according to IGN of course), but Overwatch was still their GotY because of the PC version.

Anyway, this clearly doesn't hold up to any closer inspection, mainly because of Inside and Overwatch 2. They're both available on both consoles, and as far as I know, both are games good on both consoles, yet Inside won only on Xbox One and Dishonored 2 won only on PS4. Doesn't make much sense to me. And then there's the Overwatch thing, which is also quite... interesting: best on PC, not on consoles? Personally I can agree to that since it's a shooter, but that's still a pretty interesting choice.
