We’re past The Game Awards 2021, dear Gamers. It’s been a fast night, we’ve seen plenty of trailers again. But the main agenda of the night, of course, was the awards. In addition to the games that can start with “as expected”, there are also results that will make them say “surprise”.
Deathloop, Forza Horizon 5, It Takes Two, Final Fantasy XIV, Kena: Bridge of Spirits closed the night with multiple awards. Probably the biggest surprise was It Takes Two, which closed the night with three awards, including the Game of the Year award; Josef Fares finally got his wish 🙂
