This past year has been full of some amazing titles! It seems that every genre really had some serious hits, various developers took steps to improve their games for the player base that would actively run their titles, and innovation was in many creators’ views. With the vast majority of games, it can sometimes be hard to narrow down the top titles, but once again, it has been done and all winners announced during The Game Awards 2021.
While all of the titles in the category for the biggest award of the show, Game of the Year, were deserving of the title, I have to admit that it isn’t very surprising to see which title one. That said, congratulations to Hazelight for winning Game of the Year with their title, It Takes Two!
