This year's nominations for the 2021 BAFTA Gaming Awards have been announced, celebrating some of our favourite games and gaming moments over the past twelve months, and it's certainly been a strong year with many excellent games up for prizes.
Arguably, PlayStation exclusives have been the big winner this past year, with a whopping thirteen nominations for The Last of Us Part II, eleven for Ghost of Tsushima and seven for Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales but there's also plenty of nods for games that appear elsewhere too, including nine for Hades, six for Animal Crossing: New Horizons and five for Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout.
