Not surprisingly, Horizon Forbidden West went home with the most awards; the game is made with a big team and ditto budget. In Forbidden West, as the character Aloy, you try to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where robot dinosaurs roam.

We Were Here Forever provides ‘glimmer of joy’

Nevertheless, some smaller games also stood out. The prize for the best game design went to We Were Here Forever from the Rotterdam-based Total Mayhem Games. In this game, players have to solve puzzles from different spaces by communicating well.
