God Of War Ragnarök was voted the Game of the Year in the PlayStation Blog's annual awards, and while it might seem like a shoo-in, the game faced some fierce competition.
Over the course of this year, we've been treated to exclusives like Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, Sifu, Horizon Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, Rollerdrome, Ghostwire: Tokyo, The Last of Us Part I and Stray. All lined up like that, it's crystal clear that players have been spoiled, and that Xbox hasn't delivered on that front for its own customers. That'll change in 2023, fortunately, but it certainly has been a very strong year for those who own a PlayStation.
Horizon Forbidden West and Stray snagged spots in our own top ten for their originality and gorgeous graphics, but we can confirm that we agree wholeheartedly with the PlayStation community for bestowing the crown to Ragnarök.

The results were decided by the PlayStation player base who voted in 16 categories from Game of the Year, to Graphical Showcase, to Best Accessibility Features, and more. We've got the round up here for you:
So it's safe to say that player were pleased with their time with Ragnarök. Regarding the final category, honorable mentions lie with Resident Evil 4, Marvel's Wolverine and Assassin's Creed Mirage. Perhaps next year's awards will be an even fiercer fight for the top spot.
