The BAFTA Games Awards takes picking winners very seriously

The answer’s in the winners. BAFTA can often surprise with interesting, idiosyncratic picks. This is even and especially true in the Best Game category, where BAFTA often makes a choice you won’t see in any other major awards ceremony: four of the last eight winners were What Remains of Edith Finch, Outer Wilds, Returnal, and Vampire Survivors. If any awards body is going to stop Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s almost unbroken Game of the Year sweep, it’s BAFTA.
