Valve has announced the full nominees for the 2019 Steam Awards, giving you a chance to vote on which game you think deserves to win.

The award is broken into 8 categories. Some, like Game of the Year and Most Innovative Gameplay, is rather serious. Others, like Best Game You Suck At, are goofy and are more for fun. All nominees had to have been released in 2019 or in 2018 after last year's awards, with the exception for nominees for Labor of Love, which is more for games that have continued to receive support after its release.
