Woooooooo!
Actually, I think this is the first year that I don’t disagree with any of the winners.
I think there’s one or two I wouldn’t have personally picked (Best Score for me was easily Transistor, Best Narrative pretty hard to pick but I probably would’ve gone with Wolf Among Us) but there are none I think are bad picks or flat out stupid like Spike VGA’s did constantly.
Looking good if they can keep this format for the future.
I’m calling it. Remastering is too much of a trend if they can hand out a bloody award for it.
Best Remaster? Really?
How did Transistor not get anything ??
I’m so glad the dating/florist sim won best game.
Valiant Hearts didn’t change anything.
I think the notion lies more in that it can change people’s perspectives about war. It is an incredibly beautiful game, and I’m really glad it was recognised.
As far as those stakes go, it’s a shame This War of Mine probably came out too late to get in the running.
Yeah, I was thinking that. God, what a fucking downer of an amazing game that is.
Deserved win for Mk8 and Nintendo.
