Good for them. I really enjoyed the game.
I haven’t played it yet, but I kinda get Death Stranding vibes from it. More action though.

Blue Prince was awesome, and literally curled up with my boyfriend watching him play E33 right now (these games make me motion sick, thus the scrolling lol.) I can see why it won so much.
You can turn off the camera movement and screen shake during fights if that helps

I mean, good for them and all. But… I hate when these award shows do this shit. Narrowing the universe of “award winning” games down to “One Title Wins Everything” feels so hack.
It’s a downside of the award show template. If the “best game” is, say, an RPG, then there’s no logic that should say it would win “best game” but not “best RPG”, right? If it wasn’t an award show you could go from the top down instead of building up to GOTY and it’d be spread out more. Expedition 33 is GOTY, so “best RPG” is now de facto “best RPG not named Expedition 33”. But even that collides with awards like best soundtrack or best performance by a VA.
If anything, Golden Joystick “sandbagged” E33 by not including it in “best indie” - Sandfall is absolutely an indie studio by every meaningful definition of the term.

Oh nice, Blue prince also won best Indie. In general the categories got many different winners, except for the Expedition33 categories of course
Love seeing Blue Prince win awards. Such an inventive, creative and amazing game.

Would’ve been perfect if not Fr*nch
