The winner of this year's PC Game𒈔 of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards is none other than Satisfactor♌y.

From the developer behind the endearingly daft Goat Simulator, this factory simulation game has been cooking since it entered Early Access in 2019. However, this year's full-fat release has been wor🍨th the patience, with Saꦫtisfactory picking up the reward despite sitting in fine company. The sim beat out competition from the likes of Balatro and Frostpunk 2 to win the reward. Check out all the nominees for PC Game of the Year below:

  • Animal Well
  • Balatro
  • Frostpunk 2
  • Satisfactory (winner)
  • Tactical Breach Wizards
  • UFO 50
led to a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:surge of players. In fact, over on Steam, Satisfactory hit a concurrent player count record♋ over five times larger than its Early Access peak.

"Before this week our highest CCU [concurrent users] on Steam was 34K," the official Satisfactory Twitter account said at the time. "I ca꧋n't tell you how crazy this is to me. Thank you everyone!♑"

In🔥itially launched in 2019, the first-person open-world factory-building game offers a blend of exploration and combat that can be enjoyed alone or with a few pals. Explore alien planets, create a factory – it's all up to you. The core pitch has largely remained the same, though various tweaks and updates over the years have led to the award-winning game we know today.
