“What Remains of Edith Finch” won best game at this year’s British Academy Games Awards, BAFTA announced on Thursday. It’s the second win for indie developer Giant Sparrow, which took home an award for its debut game “The Unfinished Swan” in 2013.
Ninja Theory’s dark fantasy action game “Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice” was the biggest winner of the night. It received five BAFTA awards, including artistic achievement, audio achievement, British game, and game beyond entertainment. Actress Melina Juergens also won in the performer category for her role as Senua. “Hellblade” gained a lot of attention last year for its portrayal of a character with mental health issues.
This year’s fellowship was given to Double Fine Productions’ Tim Schafer. He’s best known for his long tenure at now-defunct studio LucasArts, where he helped create classic adventure games like “Full Throttle,” “Grim Fandango,” and “The Secret of Monkey Island.
