Danas je u londonskom Bloomsbury Big Topu održana ovogodišnja Golden Joystick Awards cermemonija, a glavne zvijezde večeri bile su igre The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild i Horizon: Zero Dawn.

Naime, titula igre godine pripala je Nintendovoj ekskluzivi The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild, iza koje su se našli Horizon: Zero Dawn (na drugom mjestu) i Persona 5 (na trećem mjestu).

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild je osvojio još nekolicinu nagrada, uključujući i Critics’ Choice nagradu, kao i nagradu za najbolju Nintendo igru, gdje je uspjela nadmašiti i Super Mario Odyssey.  Horizon: Zero Dawn se također okitio nekolicinom nagrada, osvojivši između ostalog i onu za najbolju PlayStation igru.

I dok kod Nintenda i Sonyja nije bilo prevelikih iznenađenja, u kategoriji za najbolju Xbox igru godine svakako jeste. Naime, nagradu za najbolju Xbox igru ispred Gears of Wara 4 odnio je indie hit Cuphead. Također, zanimljivo je bilo i u kategoriji za najiščekivaniju igru godine, gdje je nagrada pripala Naughty Dogovoj PS4 ekskluzivi The Last of Us: Part II, iza koje su se našli Red Dead Redemption 2 i Death Stranding.
