The "I swear I'm working" award for 2022 nominations

Welcome to the first round of voting in the annual Most Epic Win Game of the Year awards. Here we will be nominating the best games that you sneakily played while you should actually be working. Those games that you simply cannot put down or just need another 5 minutes before getting back to your boring Teams meeting. The games in this category do not need to only be games released within this year.

Below is a selected list of 10 nominations that you can vote for. You will be able to vote for as many nominations as you want to. Should you feel a game must be added as a nomination, feel free to add the nomination in the comments.

The 5 games with the most votes or likes from the comments will go onto the final round of voting.

  • Factorio
  • Lost Ark
  • Overwatch 2
  • Satisfactory
  • PowerWash Simulator
  • Total War: Warhammer 3
  • DayZ
  • Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands
  • Animal Crossing: New Horizon
  • Forza Horizon 5

Destiny 2 for me. None of the games mentioned so far draw me in like Destiny 2. For me it’s “just one more seasonal triumph” or “just one more weekly pinnacle”.

Funny story, you are ACTUALLY the real inspiration to that nomination as I stalked activity on the forum to see what people are playing when they shouldn’t be playing…
