DarkZero: 22 Game of the Year awards

DarkZero is a website from United Kingdom, founded in 2003. It appears in this database with 22 Game of the Year picks across 22 award seasons (2004–2025); its most frequent pick was Baldur's Gate 3.

In the seasons tracked at full breadth, 7 of its 22 picks went to the game that won the season overall; the most recent was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in 2025.

DarkZero was publishing game coverage in 2003, but no overall 2003 Game of the Year selection was verified; the supplied record begins in 2004.

What "2004–2025" means.

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.
