The Last of Us Part II takes home top honors at The Game Awards

In case you missed the big event last night (and in that case, just watch the replay of course), Naughty Dog and The Last of Us Part II took home top honors at The Game Awards 2020.

Top honors in this case means Game of the Year, Best Game Direction, Best Narrative, Best Audio Design, Best Performance, Innovation in Accessibility and last but not least, Best Action/Adventure.  We loved the experience to spite some of the “controversies”, but there was definitely quite a few other heavy hitters available this year as well that also deserve congratulations.

It was great to see Hello Games’ effort and support for No Man’s Sky be noticed, along with Hades, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Among Us also grabbing multiple awards as well.

See the full list below and stay tuned for our wrap-up.
