The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced its verdict on the best games released in 2022. And let's just say there was a big surprise. Indeed, while Elden Ring has won the top prize at almost every ceremony around the world, it was finally an independent title that was crowned at the BAFTA Game Awards.
In the purest tradition of this British event, it was a British studio that won the famous Game of the Year award. It's Poncle for the amazing Vampire Survivors.
