Another year of challenges lay in wait for us all but that didn’t stop the DualShocker’s staff from getting their hands on some of the best games of the year.
Thank goodness for video games. In challenging times and turmoil, as we have seen yet again in 2021, escaping into an exciting title can give players some much-needed respite from the outside world.
As always, we here at DualShockers have hunkered down and got stuck into some of the best titles from 2021 and while many of us naturally have a variety of likes and dislikes across the genre, we all came together to vote for our favourites.
With that being said, all of us at DualShockers are excited to officially reveal the winners of our Game of the Year Awards 2021, which saw a host of unique and exciting games nominated across all of our categories.
Below you’ll find the winners of our Game of the Year Awards 2021. We would like to thank all of the developers, studios, and publishers for their incredible titles released over the course of the year, and also thanks to our readers for their amazing support.

Biggest Shocker of 2021:
Congratulations toKena: Bridge of Spiritsfor taking away the DualShockers' Game of the Year award, it is very much deserved.
Even though Ember Lab weren’t on our radar prior to the announcement ofKena, the small studio that mostly produced animated commercials has, very obviously, taken over the gaming world with their incredible first video game.
It goes without saying that every single winner of each category on our list are worthy of their place and we are all so thankful for their amazing hard work through a very challenging period for developers. In the end, their diligence truly paid off and we can’t wait to see what they do next.
