I can see why It Takes Two gets a lot of praise. I finally managed to try it recently with my nephew and it was great fun.

Inscryption > Unpacking

 

[El Pistolero]

Insomniac leading the pack with four awards. Good on them...

 

[Ozriel]

Halo Infinite winning awards will burn some people.

Great wins for Ratchet. Excellent visuals and animation. And while I haven’t played Returnal yet, It seems the praise for its audio is universal. Great job by Housemarque to knock it out of the park with their very first AAA title.

 

[SeraphJan]

Resident Evil Village need some love.

Why will it burn anyone halo infinite is excellent in gameplay. Just lacking content.

Why will it burn anyone halo infinite is excellent in gameplay. Just lacking content.

The campaign isn't lacking content yet still gets attacked a lot here by some.

I agree the MP could do with a lot more content

People attack halo by the online mode. Usually that section of the gameplay is what attracted active player count drama.

Good that Returnal got awards for best soundtrack and audio design, well deserved.

 

[CatLady]

I'm so happy to see The Ascent at least nominated for Action GotY. As much as I love Infinite and I do think it's the better game, I would have loved for The Ascent to win it.

Halo has already won more than enough awards and The Ascent was a MUCH better game the critic scores. It deserves some love.

Outstanding Technical Achievement

• Battlefield 2042

Great to see returnal get some recognition, I see too much hate for its protagonists appearance and no saving functionality. and holy shit at ratchet and clank: rift apart! 4 awards in total and much deserved!
