So Black Myth: Wukong did what Game Science couldn’t at The Game Awards. The Chinese-developed game swept several awards, although it was a bit divisive. There were also a few surprises, as Red Dead Redemption won the soundtrack award, even though Silent Hill 2 Remake and Horizon Forbidden West were among the nominees. Interestingly, Balatro didn’t win here, but it did win at The Game Awards.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to all the winners!<\/p>\n
