You may recall that, back in late September of this year, the nominees for the 2024 Golden Joystick Awards had been announced by GamesRadar. You may also recall that, at the same time that the nominees were announced, it was confirmed that the winners of the awards would be officially revealed on November 21st, 2 months later.

Why don’t more people talk about these awards instead of “The Game Awards”?
Probably because the game awards sometimes has good game reveals/trailers
Because the Golden Joystick awards is like the Grammys. The winner is always the most popular one, not because it’s better, but because it sold more.
Sonic super stars didn’t grab any award too.
It really wasn’t going to, general consensus is that some of the gameplay is kinda bland
The “still playing” award for console and pc went to Minecraft, probably the most addictive game I’ve ever played.
Love Astro Bot and geometry dash lite. They have amazing gameplay.
