I torsdags ägde nordens största spelpris rum och det var flertalet svenska nomineringar och vinnare.

Andra Svenska vinnare var My Friend Pedro av Deadtoast som belönades med priset Best Debut. Zoink vann årets pris för Best VR/XR för det bedårande Ghost Giant.

Nordic Game of the Year – Small Screen: Sayonara Wild Hearts av Simogo (SE)
Juryns motivering: There’s nothing predictable when this audiovisual rollercoaster takes players for a dance across the screen. Its minimalist, yet dizzyingly beautiful visuals set players up into a cart and then the catchy music pushes them forward at a million miles an hour. It’s easy to learn, but not hard to love.

Best Art: Sayonara Wild Hearts av Simogo (SE)
Juryns motivering: The unique visual style of this modern masterpiece brings the player back to the golden age of music videos and demoscene. Fluid visual motion, beautiful choreography and ever-surprising world design show us that gaming as an art form can redefine itself again and again.

Best Debut: My Friend Pedro av Deadtoast (SE)
Juryns motivering: If Buster Keaton was armed with guns in a John Woo-directed version of The Matrix – but it was a comedy… and crossed with Max Payne… in 2D. Or something like that. It’s violent, hilarious and, most importantly, instantly fun!

Best VR/XR: Ghost Giant av Zoink Games (SE)
Juryns motivering: Extended reality gives us a new perspective into gaming. Its goal is to bring virtual experiences as close to real experiences as possible. The winning game is beautiful, fun, and thought-provoking, utilizing virtual reality as a platform to connect players both to the world and events.

Grattis till alla vinnarna!
