Nobody can deny it. Few events in the video game industry are as painful as Game Awards, and in 2022 there should have been an exception. Ever since the list of nominees was released last November, the debate has quickly flared up online about who deserves to win. Of course, the audience focused the conversation on the game, which should receive the highest award, i.e. game of the year (GOTI).
Unlike other years, when there was almost no doubt about the main candidate, things changed at the Game Awards 2022. Why? This year we had the opportunity to enjoy a couple of great games, ancient ring D God of War Ragnarok. When everything indicated that the new From Software and Hidetaka Miyazaki would destroy everything, in the second half of the year Kratos and Atreus “surprised” with another unforgettable adventure.
Because of the above, no one could 100% guarantee today’s winner. So, the moment of truth arrived, the most long-awaited of the gala, and Josef Fares announced that ancient ring he took the GOTI. Deserved? Fully. Let’s feel lucky that we were able to enjoy such games in the same year.
Below is the complete list of winners. Remember also that at the following link we collect the best announcements and trailers of the event.
