Still Wakes the Deep provided the best performance in a videogame in 2024, so I'm happy that it's finally been shown some love at the Bafta Game Awards

Key art for Still Wakes the Deep, showing the game's doomed oil rig setting enclosed within a human silhouette.

The best part of Still Wakes the Deep, without a doubt, was the acting. Every member of the cast gave outstanding performances, which made the events of the game even more heartbreaking, but hats off to Alec Newman, who absolutely smashed it as the protagonist Caz.

Caz's story in Still Wakes the Deep was already pretty tragic. After getting into a stupid bar fight, he decides to run away to a rig off the Scottish shore to hide from a police investigation and potential prison time. But to do this, he has to leave behind his wife and children. It's a tough choice to make, and he doesn't leave on very good terms, so when all chaos breaks out on the rig and a monster crawls on board, his sole focus is just to survive long enough to see his family again.
