Best of 2013
I just love the variety offered in this category every single year. No nominee really plays like another. EvenGone HomeandThe Stanley Parable HDhave a similar control scheme, but their experiences are about as different as they come. Whether you enjoyed swapping withThe Swapper,rejecting immigrants withPapers, Please, or trying to make sense of it all withAntichamberorKentucky Route Zero, it has no doubt been another wonderful year for PC exclusives.
And the winner is…
Papers, Please
A game that is nearly impossible to accurately describe to someone who has never seen it,Papers, Pleaseis about as unique as they come. Who could have predicted that the PC game of the year would have been about allowing or not allowing immigrants into a fictional country? I’ll tell you who: anybody who has actually played it. It’s hard not to get caught up in the world while playingPapers, Please. The satisfying sound effect when you reject someone’s plea to enter the country is just so …mmm mmm good.
Congratulations toPapers, Pleaseand Lucas Pope!
