Although the year 2021 was not different from recent years for games and relatively ‘unsuccessful’ in terms of major productions, many popular productions appeared before the players. Forza Horizon 5, Psychonauts 2, Hitman III, Resident Evill Village and Age of Empires IV were among these games. So, which were the best of 2021?
Answering this question and one of the most important awards in the game world, the BAFTA Game Awards found their owners today. The 2022 BAFTA Game Awards, where games were evaluated in many categories, were dominated by the PlayStation 5 exclusive game Returnal, which was released in April 2021.
