Sci-fi shooter game Returnal has been named best game at the 2022 Bafta Games Awards. The PlayStation exclusive – about an astronaut trapped on an alien planet – was the biggest winner on Thursday night, picking up four awards in total.
Puzzle game Unpacking, where players must unpack boxes and neatly fit them around a new virtual home, was the other major winner at the event. It took home the award for best narrative as well as the EE game of the year award, which is the only category voted for by the public.
The newest instalment in the Forza racing series, Forza Horizon 5, was named best British game, while space exploration game No Man's Sky was named the best evolving game. Elsewhere, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, the latest game in the long-running popular series, picked up the animated and technical achievement awards.
