The
BAFTA
awards
have
officially
wrapped
and
a
part
of
the
show
was
handing
out
awards
to
videogames.
The
big
winner
was
undoubtedly
the
2024
PlayStation
exclusive

Astro
Bot,
which
took
home
five
awards.
I
swear,
one
of
them
better
have
been
an
award
for
cuteness.

Ultimately,
Astro
Bot
walked
away
with
the
trophies
for
Best
Game,
Game
Design,
Family,
Audio
Achievement
and
Animation.
Not
too
shabby
for
a
series
that
began
life
as
a
VR
oddity
and
then
became
a
tech
demo
for
the
PS5.

Astro
Bot
wasn’t
the
only
game
to
win
multiple
awards
though,
as
a
surprising
title
managed
to
bag
3
awards.
First-person
horror
game
Still
Wakes
the
Deep
picked
up
three
trophies.
The
biggest
was
for
New
IP,
but
it
also
also
got
Performer
in
a
Leading
Role
(Alew
Newman)
and
Performer
in
a
Supporting
Role
(Karen
Dunbar).

I
reviewed
Still
Wakes
the
Deep
last
year
and
really
enjoyed
it
despite
some
fairly
big
issues,
and
the
acting
was
indeed
bloody
fantastic.
