Uncharted 4 Won Best Game at British Academy Games Awards
Uncharted 4 has, since its release, won a ton of awards. The latest accolade the game has received is the Best Game award at this year’s British Academy Games Awards. Uncharted 4 won the prestigious award over Firewatch, Stardew Valley, Titanfall 2, Overwatch and Inside.
Naughty Dog’s action-adventure game Uncharted 4 ended up being a huge hit. Both critics and audiences love it still, and certainly for good reason. As a result, the game has been nominated for and won a bunch of prestigious industry awards. The latest award Uncharted 4 has received is the Best Game at this year’s British Academy Games Awards, held by BAFTA.
Uncharted 4 won against Inside, Titanfall 2, Stardew Valley, Overwatch and Firewatch. So, all in all, the competition wasn’t too strong, but I like seeing several indie games being nominated for such a big award.
Here’s a list of all the British Academy Games Awards winners in the different categories. It’s a very colorful bunch.
- Best Game – Uncharted 4
- Artistic Achievement – Inside
- Audio Achievement – The Last Guardian
- British Game – Overcooked
- Debut Game – Firewatch
- Evolving Game – Rocket League
- Family – Overcooked
- Game Design – Inside
- Game Innovation – That Dragon, Cancer
- Mobile – Pokemon GO
- Multiplayer – Overwatch
- Music – Virginia
- Narrative – Inside
- Original Property – Inside
- Performer – Cissy Jones (as Delilah in Firewatch)
- AMD Esports Audience Award – Clash Royale
The biggest surprise here is Clash Royale, I think. The other nominated games were CS:GO, Overwatch, Street Fighter V, League of Legends and Dota 2. I honestly would never put money on Clash Royale against that kind of competition. Shows what I know. Everything else is pretty much what you’d expect, except maybe The Last Guardian getting the Audio Achievement award.
Uncharted 4 released on May 10th, 2016 on the PlayStation 4. The newest single-player story DLC. The release date of The Lost Legacy DLC is still unknown, but it might be announced soon.
