The Game Awards 2022 winners full list – Elden Ring vs. God Of War Ragnarök-GameCentral-Entertainment – Metro

There was no award for the longest speech (pic: The Game Awards)

The front runners for the Game of the Year trophy were always obvious but who else won at The Game Awards and who went home empty handed?

Even though the promise of it being shorter than usual wasn’t really kept (primarily thanks to Christopher Judge’s rambling acceptance speech for God Of War) this year was undoubtedly the best The Game Awards so far.

There was a lot less reliance on pre-rendered trailers and more emphasis put on the awards themselves, even if they still don’t quite seem like the main event.

There was controversy too, with the Game of the Year acceptance speech ending with a bizarre stage invasion from an unknown fan (of Bill Clinton), who was promptly arrested.

Since no one was hurt, just very confused, it all added to the fun, even if the whole thing didn’t end until 4am in the morning (yes, we are very tired).

Ultimately, there could be only one winner of the Game of the Year award but God Of War Ragnarök walked away with six awards and Elden Ring with four, so everyone had a reason to be happy.
