The Game Awards 2022 nominations are out.
As is usually the case with award shows, there are some 'interesting' choices amidst the nominees. Elden Ring, for instance, is up for Best Narrative, which is absolutely bizarre given what an incomprehensibly directionless mess it is, while the critically acclaimed Immortality has nods for Best Direction, Best Narrative, and Best Performance, but got overlooked for Best Indie Game.
I will, however, say that it is weird to see Dune: Spice Wars, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Total War: Warhammer 3,Two Point Campus, and Victoria 3 together in the same category of Best Sim/Strategy. I get that there's an element of arbitrariness inherent in the categorization of videogames, but if you're lumping the Rabbids in with a zany management sim and a Paradox grand strategy game, maybe it's time to step back and reconsider.
The 2022 Game Awards will also feature a new category, Best Adaptation, which honors"game-inspired projects across entertainment." Three of the nominees in the category come from Netflix, while the other two are theatrical releases:
