The Last of Us 2 voted GotY from over 180 publications

Whoever wins the Game of the Year title at the Game Awards is calculated from the votes collected from all specialist publications, including PC Games. In 2020, The Last of Us Part 2 received this honor. But of course the individual publications themselves give awards to their favorites every year.

The official Game Awards page now shows which annual lists The Last of Us 2 was also in first place . And with amazing and highly impressive results: The Last of Us Part 2 (buy now € 44.85) won a whopping 184 awards for Game of the Year 2020 (as of January 5, 2021, 2:04 p.m.), of which a whopping 55 were awarded by reader votes. For comparison: Last year Death Stranding took first place with 92 awards, 33 of which were Readers' Choice Awards. Naughty Dogs action-adventure sequel apparently polarizes the fan base and is even coldly despised by some admirers of the first part, but the bottom line is that most players seem to have agreed that the blockbuster sequel is a triumph. The Last of Us Part 2 also performed excellently in the PC Games reader voting.

The Rogue-lite-Hack & Slash Hades from Supergiant Games, which was only able to win three reader votes, came in a clear second place. as a critical darling but still managed to get more votes than the third-placed AAA title Ghost of Tsushima. The samurai adventure was voted Game of the Year by 31 media outlets.

CD Project Red's hyped sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2077, on the other hand, only ranks fifth with 17 awards, but that's probably not the only thing a difference in popularity, but mainly to be explained by the fact that the title had not yet appeared when many awards were given and was therefore not eligible for selection.
