Objective facts
The BAFTA Games Awards were held last night - an annual show where a jury of developers throw weighty man-head statues at the crowd, celebrating the best games of any given year. The 2023 BAFTAs celebrated the best of 2022 with a mixed bag of games, awarding big blockbusters alongside popular indies, but the jury agrees with RPS on one front:Vampire Survivors is the best game of 2022. Good BAFTAs.

Here’s the full list of winners:
Talking aboutthe Steam Awards, Graham guessed that publicly voted award shows favoured games with big marketing budgets. There might be some truth to that since the fan-voted EE GOTY award went to Dad Of War 2, while the jury-selected award went to Vampire Survivors. Although, God Of War raged toward a slew of other wins, so, maybe expensive marketing affects everyone.
Regardless, the BAFTAs were marginally more interesting than some other award shows, but the RPS Treehouse still collectively frowned atPentiment’s lack of wins. Like, the dry sound ofpens scratching against paper? Audio achievement, hellooo.
