The awards show never ends. Every year, there are many events of this type to appreciate an achievement. As if implicitly saying that a person or group will reach the pinnacle of success after getting an award.

Generally, awards are given to those who have worked hard in any field. But because of the glamorous nature of the industry, we know that those who work in the entertainment field are both traditional and digital. One of them is video games which are divided into two kinds of events: the Golden Joystick Awards and The Game Awards.

The Golden Joystick Awards were held to honor developers, publishers, and the game itself, almost all of which were voted for by fans. Especially those who live in the UK and Europe. Generally, this event is held in November compared to The Game Awards which is usually held in December.

This year, as usual the Golden Joystick Awards announced the games that deserved the award. The voting started a few months ago and culminated today, where all the winners were finally announced.
