The biggest beneficiary from the popular vote was none other than Doki Doki Literature Club, the free-to-play cult favorite from Dan Salvato.

While many of the overlapping categories between The Game Awards and IGN’s Best of 2017 yielded the same results, the truly unpredictable factor came from the People’s Choice Awards. Interestingly enough considering its popularity, the game won no People’s Choice Awards. PUBG took home Best PC Game, Best Multiplayer, and Best Spectator Game. The wildly successful Switch launch title also took home Best Action/Adventure Game and Most Innovative titles, though it fell to Cuphead in the Best Art Direction category.Īnother game to rack up three victories was PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, the 100-man game of survival that became one of the most-played games ever, all while still in the Early Access phase. After raking in Game of the Year honors from the Game Awards and numerous other outlets, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild took home IGN’s top honor as well, both as the staff and people’s choice.

The biggest honor was also probably the least shocking development. In addition to the official awards from the staff, People’s Choice Awards were given to the nominees with the highest tally of popular votes in each category. Several results mirrored those of The Game Awards themselves, but there were several surprises as well. The awards spanned dozens of categories across gaming, movies, television, and technology. IGN, the leading games coverage platform, released its Best of 2017 Awards results on Wednesday.
