This Thursday, April 4, 2019, the British Academy of Arts, Television and Cinema has rewarded the best games of the past year. The ceremony greatly appreciated the last adventure of Kratos
With 5 accolades, including the Game of the Year Award, Cory Barlog’s excellent Santa Monica game continues to build. He is the one who seems to have the most convinced on the other side of the Channel.
Like last year, when The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild had only recovered one reward, the most innovative game, the jury’s choices made an unfortunate – an injustice will say the most passionate. The Rockstar Open World Western, nominated in 5 categories, was finally overshadowed by the competition and did not have the chance to leave with a statuette.
