The annual The Game Awards event that rolls around every December is always where some of the most exciting new games get announced by their developers, and this year's show was no exception. Between Arkane Lyon's bombshell reveal of Marvel's Blade, the unveiling of a new adventure game called Light No Fire from No Man's Sky developer Hello Games, a shadow drop of the destruction-heavy multiplayer FPS The Finals, and tons of other big-name announcements, the presentation gave gamers plenty of titles to get hyped about and look forward to.
What had me nearly falling out of my chair as I was live blogging the show, though, was the surprise reveal of World of Goo 2. It's a sequel to — you guessed it — World of Goo, a critically acclaimed 2008 physics puzzler from 2D Boy that grew quite popular, making it one of the first ever "indie darlings."
