10 Biggest Snubs From The Game Awards 2017

The Game Awards is a beloved (well, mostly beloved) gaming event that aims to reward some of the biggest and best games of the year with prestigious awards.

Whilst it often does manage to give the right titles the right coverage, they're always guaranteed to be several titles that simply don’t win when they surely deserve to.

Whether this comes down to the fact that The Game Awards uses a system based on votes which could result in the popular games getting the vote instead of the most suitable or simply due to some games just being overlooked is up for speculation, but it’s pretty clear that some games simply don’t get the attention they deserve.

That’s not even mentioning the games that don’t even get nominated for certain categories. It’s bad enough that a game doesn’t win the award it’s nominated for, but it’s so much worse to be overlooked completely.

Here’s to the games that certainly weren’t celebrated enough (if at all) during the world’s biggest game awards event.

You'll never see this coming.

Although Persona 5 did win the award for Best RPG, unfortunately it was snubbed for one of its best aspects - the music.

Nier: Automata managed to take home that award for Best Soundtrack, and whilst that was certainly a good outcome, it's pretty disappointing for fans of Persona 5's fantastically jazzy and upbeat soundtrack.

Everything from the main theme of Get Up Get Out There to later tracks like Rivers In The Desert all prove to be fantastic listens even detached from the game itself. The vocals from Lyn Inaizumi are a particular stand out, with her inclusion in most of the tracks making the game soundtrack feel completely unique.

The same can't really be said of the other nominees for Best Soundtrack, at least not to the same degree. Every nominee, from Cuphead to Nier: Automata, deserved to win but none so much as Persona 5.

The fact that Persona 5 has a dancing game spin-off that looks legitimately fantastic should speak volumes about the soundtrack.
