    Game of the Year - The Last of Us: Remastered (I didn't play it on PS3 so I'm treating the Remaster as a new game)
    Best Story - The Last of Us: Remastered
    Best Soundtrack - Dragon Age - Inquisition
    Best Shooter - Destiny
    Best Role Playing Game - Dragon Age - Inquisition
    Best Point & Click - The Wolf Among Us
    Best Indie - Stick it to the Man
    Most Disappointing - Destiny (I was disappointed with the lack of content but it's still the best shooter I played this year)
    Best DLC - Left Behind

    I have copies of Shadow of Mordor and Alien Isolation sitting on my desk but I have't played either yet. I expect they would win my best Action and Horror awards.
