The first Game of the Year award has been given out for 2022, and it’s been awarded to a PlayStation exclusive only available on PS4 and PS5, at least right now. So far, 2022 has been far from the greatest year in terms of video game releases. In fact, if you remove a few games from the equation it’s been a very disappointing year. There’s a variety of reasons for this that are neither here nor there. What’s more relevant is that come the end of the year, come The Game Awards, Elden Ring will win unless God of War Raganrok can replicate the success and critical acclaim of the first game. That’s how little the competition is at the top. That said, the latter isn’t out and the former actually didn’t win the first 2022 GOTY award; Horizon Forbidden West has.
The Develop:Star Awards 2022 Best Game winner is Horizon Forbidden West from @Guerrilla & @PlayStationUK! Congratulations! ⭐️ #DevelopStars pic.twitter.com/Ij8g3GRep1
