We held our second annual community voted game of the year poll, and following a month of voting and debating – the results are now in.
While there were lots of amazing games this year, the overall winner for the Niche Gamer community game of the year is – Monster Hunter World.

There was a noticeable attempt at tampering with the votes – around 200 or so votes for God of War were actually fraudulent, and since we can’t correct numbers with the third party polling app we used, the votes were removed for now (Editor’s Note: The tallies are above, though).
Look forward to our staff voted game of the year awards very shortly – we’ll link to that here too.
