Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and What Remains of Edith Finch". Those are the two big takers in the ceremony that took place last night, with Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice coming on top in five of its nominated nine categories: Best British Game, Artistic Achievement, Best Performer (Melina Juergens really was fantastic), Audio Achievement, and the new Game Beyond Entertainment category, which recognizes titles that "deliver a transformational experience beyond pure entertainment." I have to say I agree on all counts; the game is much more than just that, and is a perfect example of game systems, technical and writing competence bridging the gap between 3D entertainment and a deep look at human nature. And that ending... My god, what a beautiful, thematically-perfect ending.
What Remains of Edith Finch, however, took home the most coveted award of them all: Best Game. In a world full of million-dollar budgets and AAA experiences with always-on shenanigans and loot crates and a reported move away form the collapsing model of high-profile, story-based, linear games, What Remains of Edith Finch's accolade serves to prove - and aids in doing so - that that must - and should not - be the case. There's a place for gameplay above all, but there's definitely a place for soul-searching, linear experiences as well. What Remains of Edith Finch is one such. I for one am glad these won out so many categories. A last mention goes to Divinity: Original Sin 2, which won over the expected winner solely on player-base counts, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
