Please remember to also vote in the GAF Games of the Year 2013, as it has PC and Digital Download specific awards as well.

Welcome to the first NeoGaf Steam GOTY Award. This award is given to the game that SteamGAF has considered to be the best title
of 2013. Before I can go into the numbers here is a reminder of how the results were determined and some statistical data.


  • Up to 5 games were allowed for each person to pick.
  • Each game was either awarded 1/2/3/4/5 points in descending order.
  • Games had to be from ‘2013, Early Access’ or games re-released during that year were also allowed.
  • The poll lasted for 10 days between 9th December to 19th December 2013.
  • Overall the poll turnout was: 166
  • The number of valid voters was: 165
  • Disqualified votes was: 1
  • 158 games were submitted.
  • The number of voters equated to 16.3% of the people who posted in the Steam 2013 VIII thread.
  • 6 voters did not post in the Steam 2013 VIII thread at all.
  • If a game was tied in points the 'average point score' (APS) determined who the winner was.
  • Modbot was banned from voting, due to the fact that he is a bot.

So without further to do, here are the results of SteamGAF’s 2013 game of the year awards starting from 10th to 1st place:

Wait?! How did Rogue Legacy win if it tied with Bioshock Infinite in score???
Rogue Legacy was declared winner by 'average point score' which was higher than Bishock's - even though it had more votes.

If the person who had their vote disqualified had actually filled it correctly, would it have changed the winner?
Yes.

If you have any ideas on what you would prefer to happen in the next poll, send a PM. I will add it to the list.
Personally, I would prefer these changes next time:


  • Poll to run between late December/January instead of early December.
  • Steam GOTY Award to have it's own thread (unlikely to happen).
  • Somehow make the voting more automated and less time consuming.
  • Users must submit a 'mini-reflection' of their GOTY.

I would like to say a big thanks for everyone who voted last month, I never expected to reach such a large number of votes for this poll.
A big thank you to people who posted recommendations on Steam as well, which I used in the top 10 results.
Also a thank you to the Steam regulars who tolerated me spamming the poll on a daily basis.

Made it into the Hall of Shame, Excellent. Glad to see the new Steam Thread before I have to go to work. Can't wait to see what the Steam Awards are. Though I have a bad feeling that it's going to be Bioshock Infinite in the number 1 spot. That's sure going to be a lovely discussion if true.

I definitely am actually playing my steam games this rather than just buying and looking at them. I'll never be able to beat every game in my steam library. But i'll be able to beat the ones I care enough to play though. Already organized my lists to show which games are worth my time.
