The Aggie Awards – The Best Adventure Games of 2021
What. A. Year.
It’s been hopeful, it’s been scary, it’s been tragic, it’s been lovely, sometimes all at once. The one constant in an otherwise crazy, turbulent year is the steady stream of great new adventures once again. This time over 200!!
That’s a whole lot of games to play, and a whole lot of decisions to make to reach a verdict on the winners of this year’s Aggie Awards. It was hard enough getting down to our top ten nominee finalists, so narrowing them down further to a top five and ultimate winner was downright painful. But you know that, as so many of you faced the same dilemma in voting in our reader poll.
So before we move on, first a round of applause for the many talented, dedicated adventure game developers who gave us so many moments of diversionary fun in an often challenging year. Well done to all of you, even if you didn’t come away with an Aggie statuette for your efforts.
And now on with the show! The champions have been chosen, the envelopes filled, and it’s time to recognize the crème de la crème of 2021.
Let the Aggie Awards commence!
