The big winner at the 2020 British Academy Games Awards was Outer Wilds, the action-adventure mystery about a solar system trapped in an endless time loop, won Best Game, Game Design and Original Property.
Also winning three BAFTAs was the open-world, role playing detective game Disco Elysium, for Debut Game, Narrative and Music.
Performer in a Supporting Role was won by Martti Suosalo for Control – which surprisingly proved to be the game’s only win of the night.
The genre-defying Death Stranding won in the new Technical Achievement category and its director, writer and designer, Hideo Kojima, was honored with the Fellowship, the highest honor the Academy can bestow.
Call of Duty: Mobile won EE Mobile Game of the Year, the only award to be voted for by the public.

I’ve been enjoying Path of Exile, so it’s nice to see it win one of these awards.
