343iBot Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 While we might be well into 2022, the 2021 award season is still going strong. BAFTA is the latest organization to reveal its list of nominees for its game awards, and with 39 games nominated, it's safe to say there's a little something for everyone. Among the most celebrated titles to make the list are the quirky co-op game It Takes Two and Housemarque's roguelike Returnal, both of which earned an impressive eight nominations. Included in those nominations is the one for Best Game, an honor It Takes Two has already earned at both the DICE Awards and The Game Awards. Both games also received nominations for Artistic Achievement, Best Game Design, Best Narrative Game, and Best Original Property. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart trails just behind It Takes Two and Returnal with seven nominations, while Forza Horizon 5 and Psychonauts 2 each have six. GameSpot's own Game of the Year, Deathloop, sits at five. A number of notable independent games have made the list as well, including Death's Door, Inscryption, Sable, and Unpacking. While what games ultimately take home awards is almost entirely decided upon by BAFTA's panel of experts, those of you at home can vote for the EE Game of the Year--the only award chosen by the public. Among the nominees are Chicory: A Colorful Tale, Deathloop, The Forgotten City, It Takes Two, Metroid Dread, and Unpacking. Voting is available from now until April 1.
