From dedicated devices to smartphones, handheld games had a great year.
While we were close to giving the award to myriad 3DS games or Square Enix’s GO series, Bethesda’s Fallout Shelter ended up with the win.
The free-to-play title won us over with its polish and tided us over during the long wait for Fallout 4.
We’re taking a break for Christmas tomorrow, so stay tuned for more GOTY next week.
