The BAFTA Games Awards has come and gone for another year, and the prestigious ceremony has once again handed out accolades to some of the best games of last year.
Probably unsurprising if you’ve been following the 2023 gaming awards track for any amount of time, but Baldur’s Gate 3 has cleaned up, winning the overall Best Game award along with three others and the Players’ Choice Award. Alan Wake 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder both picked up two trophies each, as did the excellent indie puzzler, Viewfinder.
