Gamers Vote Fallout 4 Game of the Year

Readers of Gameindustry.com have voted Fallout 4 Game of the Year 2015.

The GiN awards are voted for by gamers, with an open vote to select the big prize of Game of the Year. Fallout 4 won a total of four categories, including Best PC Game and Bext Xbox One Game, as well as Best Roleplaying Game, beating the Witcher 3.

Bethesda’s end of the world epic really struck a chord with gamers in 2015, delivering more openworld distractions, such as crafting and building, allowing gamers to make the world their own.

game of the year 2015 — Fallout 4’s openworld gameplay scored high with gamers

The second big winner of the year was Life is Strange. Holding its own with the AAA games, Dontnod’s indie teen drama won three categories, including Best Adventure Game. It comes as no surprise that Life is Strange also won Best Story, as this was the game that kept gamers on the edge of their seat with every episode. And the blue-haired rebel, Chloe Price won Most Memorable Character.

Despite leading the nominations, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt only won one category, scooping Best Original Soundtrack.

Chella Ramanan

Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
