Unwinnable: 10 Game of the Year awards

Unwinnable is a website from United States, founded in 2010. It appears in this database with 10 Game of the Year picks across 10 award seasons (2011–2020); its most frequent pick was Celeste.

In the seasons tracked at full breadth, 2 of its 10 picks went to the game that won the season overall; the most recent was Hades in 2020.

Its pick furthest from the consensus was Night in the Woods in 2017, which finished No. 14 that season with 1 award in total. Its earliest pick on record is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, for 2011.

Unwinnable has published year-end game selections since 2010; Costume Quest was its 2010 Game of the Year and Devotion won its 2021 Game of the Year.

It is the first and last year this outlet appears in our award data — not necessarily its founding or closing date. An outlet may have existed longer, or simply skipped a year's award.
