The House House standalone game rises to the highest award and titles such as Death Stranding or Sekiro go empty.
The goose is walking the red carpet again, at least the virtual carpet, since the Game Developers Choice Awards, which are awarded at a ceremony held at the GDC fair in San Francisco, have had to go online for the coronavirus ( COVID-19). Untitled Goose Game has done it again and has been recognized as the Game of the Year. On the other hand, Control, the production of Remedy Entertainment, has also won several of the most important awards.
Less luck have had other of those competing for the GOTY. Death Stranding and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice have gone home with a total number of zero awards. Here is the complete list of winners:
