Game-Game Indie Dominasi Penghargaan BAFTA Games Awards 2016

Mulai 1998, British Academy of Film and Television Arts memutuskan untuk mengakui video game sebagai jenis hiburan yang memberikan cara baru dalam mengekspresikan kreativitas. Ada banyak event pemberian penghargaan bergengsi diadakan tiap tahun, namun sejauh ini status BAFTA belum dapat tersaingi. Dan di akhir minggu lalu, diumumkanlah para pemenang BAFTA Games Awards 2016.

Di ajang lain, nama-nama familier berkali-kali memperoleh apresiasi, namun BAFTA Games Awards 2016 cukup berbeda. Permainan-permainan garapan developer indie tampak menguasai belasan kategori. Judul-judul blockbuster memang jadi nominasi, tapi mereka bukan juaranya. Terlepas dari itu, salah satu permainan open-world terbaik terpilih buat membawa pulang gelar Best Game - sebagai judul pertama di seri itu yang memenangkan BAFTA.
