Overview
Day 1 Podcast
Giant Bomb's Game of the Year Awards celebrates 2021's best and worst in the world of video games.
The site went through some major changes in 2021. As a result, the GOTY deliberations consisted of just five panelists for the first time since 2009. The amount of GOTY content was subsequently pared down from previous years as there were no video productions aside from the deliberation process.
