The Game Awards 2022 celebrated a range of blockbuster and indie video game hits in December, with several nabbing major accolades across numerous categories. There were plenty to go around, with awards for best narrative, game direction, art direction, music, audio design, performance, and indie debut – and many worthy contenders.
Australian games even got a look-in, with a major nomination for Massive Monster’s beloved cult simulator, Cult of the Lamb. While not a winner in its category, it remains a winner in our hearts.
