Year context
How the year played out
In 2020, The Last of Us Part II dominated the overall vote and took The Game Awards and Golden Joystick, but the major-awards reading did not converge on one answer. Hades pushed back strongly on the critic-and-industry axis by winning BAFTA, D.I.C.E., GDC, and the New York Game Awards, while Ghost of Tsushima formed another chase line through NAVGTR and broad editorial support.
