Other outstanding games that will have the chance to win awards in different categories are Age of Empires IV, Loop Hero, Returnal. The indie scene in particular has proven to be in one of its biggest moments with games like It Takes Two and Inscryption, which have been considered two of the best and most original titles of the year. Throughout 2021, players have witnessed notable AAA titles like Deathloop, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Forza Horizon 5, Metroid Dread and Guardians of the Galaxy, among others. This year, there have been great titles that deserve to be mentioned, nominated and awarded. Yet, 2021 has been a great year for video games and The Game Awards is the event that aims to celebrate them and their culture. In 2021 it seems like there isn't an overarching favorite as was the case in 2020 with The Last of Us Part II. In fact, on that night it got 6 awards, including Game of the Year (GOTY), Best Game Direction and Best Narrative. Last year, The Last of Us Part II, became the big winner. Hello and welcome for the second year in a row to our live coverage of The Game Awards.

Although enjoyable and with plenty of exciting moments, sometimes it felt more like an E3 rather than an award event.

A longer ceremony where the award segment (supposedly the main protagonists) felt a bit rushed sometimes. That was all! The Game Awards 2021 comes to an end. It was a time to showcase new titles and to celebrate some of the best from 2021. An edition where the protagonist was, mostly, the announcements of upcoming games.
