It would appear that Apple’s list of best apps and games are less of a popularity contest and more of an awards ceremony based on moral merit. Not that either method of selection is better than the other – they’re both important!

The Apple TV Game of the Year as named by Apple was Dandara Trials of Fear. Apple named the game Disco Elysium as Game of the Year for Mac. Apple also named an Apple Arcade Game of the Year this year – Sneaky Sasquatch!

They once again noted how Pokemon GO made a big impact, this year because of its successful transition from outdoor social game to a mixed-use game with at-home experiences aplenty. Apple also made a point to note the United Nations World Food Programme’s ShareTheMeal app was not only culturally impactful, but literally made a difference in the lives of others, “with more than 87 million meals shared to date.”
