Well, once The Game Awards gala has concluded, it is time to take stock of all the awards that have been awarded and the immense amount of recognition that a single title has won that, we can now affirm, will be one of the most important names in its entire history. history for the unanimity that seems to have occurred when it came to awarding him some of the most relevant awards. And yes, we are referring to FromSoftware’s hit, Elden Ring . Do you know everything that has been taken?
The best game of the year without discussion
It is obvious that there is nothing written about tastes. We are each in a different way and what seems clear and obvious to some about certain types of games, to others is just the opposite. But within that possible disparity of trends, there is always a certain unanimity when we talk about some games and Elden Ring is one of them. And this past dawn, in Los Angeles, it has been ranked as the best of the year 2022. Above God of War Ragnarok , the new Horizon , etc.
And, unlike other occasions, this award has not been based only on a simple final recognition as the culmination of a close vote with the rest of the nominees, but throughout the more than two hours that the gala has lasted, seen coming that he would become the absolute winner of the night. And it is that the creation of FromSoftware has not been satisfied with being treated as you from now on, as the best of all those that have come to the market in 2022, but has collected more statuettes.
One of them has been the best role-playing game, followed by the best artistic direction and, of course, an express recognition to the director of Elden Ring who, shortly before knowing which would be the best game of the year, has also fallen on the title of the Japanese. Hidetaka Mizayaki himself has taken the stage of the Microsoft Theater to collect the award.
A year of absolute success
Few may be surprised by the success that Elden Ring has achieved at The Game Awards because since its launch last February it became clear that it was one of the best launches , if not the most, of everything that would arrive in 2022. It is also true that this sensation was helped by its enormous pre-launch campaign, with few accesses to the beta and a chorus of specialized media willing to praise its virtues, creating a breeding ground for hype that the users themselves have bought.
And it is that it has a special merit that a game created to suffer, to die hundreds of times and that, in theory, is not for all audiences, has been so recognized and exalted finally in what is the awards ceremony of largest video game in the world. A thermometer that says a lot about where the industry is going and that, in this case, has surrendered with weapons and baggage to the charm of a title that, indeed, is special, but is not for all audiences.
Even so, and unlike other editions of The Game Awards, there seems to be little doubt about the fairness of the award for the best game of the year. Don’t you think?
