The autumn sale also kicks off nomination season for the Steam Awards. Players can go to the store page for their favourite games and vote for them to be recognised (and get their own discounts) at the end of the year. Here are the categories:

• Game of the Year
• VR Game of the Year
• NEW: Best Game on the Go
• Labour of Love
• Better with Friends
• Most Innovative Gameplay
• Outstanding Story-Rich Game
• Best Game You Suck At (no offence)
• Outstanding Visual Style
• Best Soundtrack
• Sit Back and Relax

While a lot of these are competitive, “Sit Back and Relax” has a clear runaway favourite for me: supremely chill city-builder Dorfromantik. It’s about plopping down fields and buildings on a hexagonal grid and enjoying the beautiful and rewarding ways they interact with each other to create something bigger than the sum of their parts. Even better, as part of the Autumn Steam sale it’s currently 20 per cent off.
