BAFTA Games je često “najalternativnija” dodjela nagrada jer na njoj uglavnom ne budu nagrađene iste igre kao i na većini drugih ceremonija. Primjerice, 2017. godine je igrom godine na BAFTA nagradama bila proglašena igra What Remains of Edith Finch, 2019. je nagradu odnio Outer Wilds, a 2022. Vampire Survivors. Sve u svemu – ne baš razvikane ni nagrađivane igre.
Danas su stigle nominacije za 21. izdanje BAFTA Gamesa koje će se održati 8. 4. u Londonu, a već su same nominacije pomalo iznenađujuće. Ukupno je nominirana 41 igra kroz 17 različitih kategorija.
Najviše nominacija dobila je Xboxova igra Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 – čak 11 komada. Hellblade 2 se natječe za najbolju britansku igru, najbolju priču, najbolju izvedbu, najbolji zvuk, najbolju glazbu, najbolju animaciju, najbolje umjetničko postignuće… ali zanimljivo – ne i za igru godine.
Po osam nominacija pokupile su igre Astro Bot i Still Wakes the Deep, sedam nominacija ima indie hit Thank Goodness You’re Here, šest nominacija je zgrabio Black Myth: Wukong, a pet pripada Helldiversima 2. Evo liste nominiranih:
