Talos Principle 2 for (nonexistent) Best Puzzle Game

Not a specific game being snubbed but it’s crazy to me that there isn’t a “puzzle” category. I’ve been playing The Talos Principle 2 and really enjoying it. It launched close enough to the game awards that I don’t think it could be considered, but even if it had released earlier in the year I’m not sure what category it would fit into. I guess these days most puzzle games are indie, and they’ve already deigned to give indie games a whole dubious category, so why would they be more specific than that? -_- – Enfy
Agreed. No puzzle, stealth or platformer categories. I could maybe understand stealth since it’s super niche but there are plenty of puzzle and platformer games released each year. The categories could even be combined if needed since TGA already does that with simulations and sports games. – Jerykk
