Matrix Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 What just happened? Last night saw the 23rd annual DICE (Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain) Awards take place, and while the excellent Control was the biggest winner, the coveted game of the year award went to Untitled Goose Game. The Las Vegas event, which was co-hosted by Jessica Chobot and Greg Miller, saw Control and Death Stranding nominated in eight categories. It was Remedy Entertainment’s action-adventure that came out on top, winning four awards, including Action game of the year. Hideo Kojima’s title took home the awards for Outstanding Technical Achievement and Outstanding Achievement in Audio Design. Probably the biggest surprise of the night came in the Game of the Year category. It was a tough group, with Control, Death Stranding, Outer Wilds, and the brilliant Disco Elysium all competing for the prize. But it was won by Untitled Goose Game, which comes from indie developer House House. It’s been a while since Game of the Year was won by a small studio. The last few years have seen God of War, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Overwatch, Fallout 4, and Dragon Age: Inquisition all walk away with GOTY. Untitled Goose Game also won Outstanding Achievement for an Independent Game and Outstanding Achievement in Character. Other winners include Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order being awarded Adventure game of the year, and Disco Elysium taking the Outstanding Achievement in Story award. While Control’s developers will be pleased with its four awards, it’s a long way off last year’s biggest winner; God of War won nine out of the 23 categories in 2019, including Game of the Year.
