Resident Evil Requiem was crowned “Ultimate Game of the Year” at this year’s Golden Joystick Awards.
In fact, Capcom did remarkably well, winning a total of six awards, including “Studio of the Year.” Awards are mostly decided by public voting, with Requiem earning 17% for its GOTY gong, ahead of Phantom Blade Zero at 16% and Crimson Desert at 15%.
Angela Sant’Albano, who played protagonist Grace Ashcroft in Requiem, won ‘Best Lead Performer’, while the game also won ‘Best Game Trailer’ for its short film starring Maika Monroe.
Requiem also won “Console Game of the Year”, while Onimusha: Way of the Sword won “Best Audio Design”.
Unfortunately, no awards were given for first-party Nintendo games. Ocarina of Time, of course, was released too late to qualify.
