Valve has now revealed the list of categories and nominees for this year’s Steam Awards, as chosen by Steam users during the service’s last sale. From now until January 2nd, each of the awards’ thirteen categories will have one day of public voting. Voting opens each day at 10am PT (1pm ET, 6pm UK, 7pm CET).

Like Valve’s previous Steam Awards, this year’s thirteen categories are not the sort that one would expect to see at an event like the Game Awards, and are instead intended to reward games that were appreciated by its fans for a particular trait or quality. The categories and their prospective nominees are as follows:

The “Choices Matter” Award: This award is for the game which had the most freedom of choice, letting its players make their own decisions, pursue the story in their own way, or perhaps for implementing multiple ways of completing the game over and over again.

  • The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Divinity: Original Sin 2 Life is Strange: Before the Storm The Walking Dead: A New Frontier Dishonored 2

The “Mom’s Spaghetti” Award: The “Mom’s Spaghetti” award will go to the game that voters are most excited about, and as such, the list of nominees is filled with commercial hits from throughout the year. It’s certainly no surprise to see PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds at the top of the list, after it claimed the third highest number of concurrent Steam users all-time.

  • PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds Outlast 2 Resident Evil 7 The Evil Within 2 Alien: Isolation

The “Labor of Love” Award: While these games didn’t come out this year, this award is for a game which is still being actively supported by its developers and fanbase even years after its original release.

  • Team Fortress 2 Warframe Titan Quest Anniversary Edition Path of Exile Crusader Kings 2

The “Suspension of Disbelief” Award: This award will go to the game that fans feel is the most ridiculous but doesn’t feel out of place in the heat of the moment.

  • Saints Row 4 Goat Simulator South Park the Fractured But Whole Rocket League Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus

The “World is Grim Enough Lets Just All Get Along” Award: With so much bad news throughout this year, the Steam Awards have decided to celebrate games that didn’t include violence or other darker themes with this category.

  • Stardew Valley Cities: Skylines Slime Rancher ABZU To the Moon

The “No Apologies” Award: This category is for games which voters love in spite of any possible flaws, whether it be due to nostalgia for a classic title, or because the game is something of a guilty pleasure.

  • Rust Mount and Blade: Warband HuniePop Gothic 2: Gold Edition Witcher

The “Defies Description” Award: The “Defies Description” category is for the games which Steam users feel are the most indescribable; the games which really have to be played to be understood.

  • Garry’s Mod The Stanley Parable Pony Island Antichamber Doki Doki Literature Club

The “Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of War” Award: Games in this category give players the ability to be a truly destructive force, whether through control of an individual wreaking havoc or controlling entire armies.

  • Just Cause 3 Total War Warhammer 2 Broforce Red Faction: Guerrilla Steam Edition Middle Earth: Shadow of War

The “Haunts My Dreams” Award: While the name of the category might suggest a horror theme, this category is actually for those games which consume their players’ every waking thought.

  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive DOTA 2 Dark Souls 3 Factorio Sid Meier’s Civilization 6

The “Soul of Vitruvius” Award: Named for Leonardo da Vinci’s “Vitruvian Man,” this category’s award will go to the game with the best graphical rendering of its characters. As one can see from the nominations, Steam users are not without a sense of humor.

  • NieR: Automata Rise of the Tomb Raider Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice I Am Bread Bayonetta

The “Whoooaaaaaaa, Dude! 2.0” Award: Returning as a category for the Steam Awards from last year, when it was won by Grand Theft Auto V, this category is for the games which fans consider the most mind-blowing.

  • Hotline Miami Luna Antichamber CPU Invaders The Evil Within 2

The “Best Soundtrack” Award: Among a whole host of bizarre category names, this one might seem oddly banal, but it features some of the best video game soundtracks to have been released in the last few years, even for a game as old as Transistor.

  • NieR: Automata Crypt of the Necrodancer Undertale Cuphead Transistor

The “Even Better Than I Expected” Award: This appropriately named award goes to the game which Steam users thought was better than the hype (or indeed, lack of).

  • Assassin’s Creed Origins Cuphead Call of Duty: WW2 Hollow Knight Sonic Mania

Once voting concludes, the winners of the Steam Awards will be announced by Valve on the 3rd of January.
