E3 2017 ligt inmiddels weer een paar weken achter ons. Inmiddels zijn de nominaties voor de Game Critics Awards, de belangrijkste awards die na de E3 worden uitgedeeld, bekendgemaakt.
Gamereactor is een van de pakweg veertig publicaties die dit jaar stemmen op de awards. Alleen games die speelbaar waren mogen meedingen, dus spellen als God of War en Spider-Man vallen bij voorbaat af. Hieronder volgen de nominaties.
