Best Game of the Year Award goes to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild which is not surprising. Also, It is good to see our old friend, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice taking two different awards, though it is not a surprise that it won the Best Audio Design Award. I still have the nightmares for that… And I would like to congratulate Melina Juergens for her astonishing performance in giving life to Senua in Hellblade.
