Yeah, let's ignore an entire award show because one time you didn't agree with one of the winners
Delighted for that, certainly! I did wonder if Into The Breach might get it given it beat Obra Dinn for the Original Game.
EVOLVING GAME - Fortnite
I've not played either but I feel like I should.

So far two wins for God of War, two undeserved awards. Looks like it's the default choice. This is dangerous and sends a wrong message.
And why is it dangerous and wrong...?
Because there were better games nominated in those categories. GoW music is good, but nothing outstanding like Tetris Effect. When it comes to narrative the game is very traditional, it has the gimmick of it being just one shot but there are more interesting things being done in other nominated games like in Obra Dinn.
Oh okay, sure, you're completely entitled to your opinion. Mine is, the game had a fantastic story with beautiful music. I don't see how it's "dangerous" and "sends a wrong message" though.
Sends the message "don't innovate, just do the same over and over again".
So, every year the most innovative type of narrative in any medium should win? Have you played Obra Dinn? I did and loved it but the story itself is no better than God of War's imo, it just has a pretty clever design (which is why it won that award).
innovation dont correlate to quality tho, it always come down to execution
You're levelling this criticism at the Bafta game awards, who gave Edith Finch GoTY last year and gave a ton of award to Hellblade, and the year before gave Inside quite a few awards .
God of War winning two awards is fine. Not my picks but they're absolutely well deserved and not dangerous at all. What a silly thing to say...
Except God of War does innovate with its narrative. You've already mentioned one of the innovations!
Really happy to see Labo get the win for Family game. May not have done as well as hoped saleswise but I love the ideas and creativity behind it.
I haven't played Return of the Obra Dinn, but what I've seen, it really deserves the award. The artistic style is incredible unique and interesting
So RDR2 is the game equivalent of the Green Book? Yeah I'll take some Avengers movie over that.
LMAO! Damn man you guys need to make sure you put /s so I can laugh properly at the fake hot takes.
