Returnal è stato il primo vero gioco next gen (non remake o cross gen) per PlayStation 5, riuscendo a impressionare, entusiasmare e soprattutto alzare gli standard dei giochi di genere rougelike. Un colpo da maestro per una software house poco conosciuta come Housemarque al suo vero debutto nel mondo dei giochi tripla A, riuscendo nell’impresa tanto che PlayStation Studios ha acquistato la compagnia per farla entrare di diritto tra le punte di diamante delle proprie scuderie di razza.
In queste ore, arriva la notizia che Returnal è stato eletto gioco dell’anno ai BAFTA 2022, ma sono davvero tanti i titoli che hanno partecipato al concorso nelle varie categorie, eccovi dunque un elenco di tutti i vincitori
