Notably, Black Myth: Wukong dominated the awards, reaffirming its success amidst its somewhat contentious reception in the gaming community. While the title’s accolades are well-deserved, other winners, such as Red Dead Redemption in the Best Soundtrack category, have sparked discussions due to the strong competition from critically acclaimed titles like Silent Hill 2 and Horizon Forbidden West.

The game Balatro garnered numerous nominations, yet it concluded the night without a win at these awards. Despite this, its acclaim in other award shows, including significant wins at The Game Awards, still positions it as a standout title for the year.
