According to The Guardian, the recently concluded British Academy of Film and Television Awards, otherwise known as BAFTA, gathered a number of games to be rated accordingly and one being the victor to declare Best Game in 2016. Bethesda cordially brought home the gold as Fallout 4 was granted the prestigious award, battling alongside a number of other hard-hitting competitors.
As per BBC, the other notable opponents that went head-to-head with Fallout 4 include Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Life is Strange, Rocket League and 2015's Game of the Year winner, The Witcher 3. Sadly, however, The Witcher 3 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain were left hollow as neither one took an award, even after being nominated within the many categories.
It was noted by VG247 that the many categories gave many other games a time to shine, such as for the category of Best Game Design, which was taken by Bloodborne, Best Multiplayer Game, Best Family Game and Best Sports Game owned by Rocket League, Best Story won by Life is Strange and Most Persistent Game acquired by Prison Architect.
There are also other more diverse categories such as Best Game Performer that was awarded to Merle Dandridge that played Kate Collins in Everybody's Gone to the Rapture; which also won Best Music, Original Property given to Until Dawn, Best British Game bestowed to Batman Arkham Knight and Best Debut Game to Her Story.
There were a few handful other awards that were achieved by a load more other games. The well-deserved crown, however, still went to Bethesda's masterpiece, Fallout 4. Stay tuned for more news on the very decorated title by Bethesda and its upcoming downloadable content updates.
