HADES IS THE 2021 BAFTA GAME AWARDS BEST GAME OF THE YEAR

Great games deserve to be recognized. The best way for the industry to show its appreciation of once-in-a-generation games is by giving them the awards they deserve. This year, BAFTA decided to honor Hades, the roguelike game from indie darling Supergiant Games. The “Best Game” Award, the most prestigious title from this race, is just one of the four awards that the game received. BAFTA also awarded the “Game Design” Award for Hades‘ mastery of the roguelike gameplay loop and its unique approach to progression. They also awarded the game the “Artistic Achievement” award for its beautiful renditions of characters from Greek Mythology. Finally, the titular character's voice actor, Logan Cunningham, who also lent his voice for multiple other characters, won the “Performer in a Supporting Role” Award.
