Well, the Game Awards have come and gone once again. Yes, world premieres from Elden Ring, Star Trek: Resurgence, Nightingale, and Horizon Forbidden West were ridiculously exciting, but this is still, well, an award show!
30 of them were given out, in fact. From celebrating the best and brightest in esports to the overall game of the year, practically every era of the video game industry had its moment to shine. Geoff Keighley told us it would be a big show, though nobody could’ve predicted what was to come. The Final Fantasy XIV fanboy in me came away more than a little satisfied.
