The 2022 NWR Forum Awards
Best PlayStation Game
The results of the poll will only be revealed once the voting is done (December 13). You should be able to change your vote until then. Make sure to sound off in the comments if the game is on your backlog as we can have a separate award for that. Even though the official nominees list is closed, you can still reply with a write-in. Best of luck to all the nominees.

The Award for Best PlayStation Game Goes To...
Stray

This feline focused indie was released July 19, 2022 for PlayStation and Windows and was developed by BlueTwelve Studio.
The game currently has an 83 on MetaCritic (https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-5/stray) with one reviewer saying "It doesn’t try to make grand statements about mankind’s hubris or shortsighted innovation. Instead, it walks you through a living, breathing city where robots have molded their own society from the ashes of another, and lets players make of humanity’s self-destruction what they will."
As the most anticipated game on my backlog it was great to see this one take home the platinum trophy. Hopefully we see a Switch port in 2023.
Thanks to everyone who voted or commented in this inaugural awards presentation!
