The 2024 Huawei AppGallery Awards have concluded, revealing some unexpected winners that are sure to generate buzz among mobile gaming enthusiasts. While other award ceremonies, like the Pocket Gamer Awards, certainly set a high bar, the Huawei AppGallery Awards, celebrating their fifth anniversary, offer a unique perspective on mobile excellence.
The biggest surprise? Summoners War's victory as Game of the Year. This sets the tone for a list of winners that diverges from the usual suspects.
Here's a breakdown of the other category winners:
- Best Action Game: PUBG Mobile
- Best RPG Games: Hero Wars: Alliance, Epic Seven
- Best SLG Games: Evony: The King's Return, World of Tanks Blitz
- Best Family Games: Candy Crush Saga, Gardenscapes
- Best Trending Games: Mecha Domination: Rampage, Tokyo Ghoul: Break the Chains
A Global Perspective
Naturally, some of the choices might raise eyebrows. However, it's worth considering that award shows often reflect a certain bias. For instance, Western-developed games with strong fan bases tend to dominate some award ceremonies. The Huawei AppGallery Awards, on the other hand, showcase the popularity of games from various regions across the globe.
The emergence of alternative app stores this year is significant. This broader representation of games from different regions makes the Huawei AppGallery Awards increasingly relevant and prestigious.
