Death Stranding Claims Seven Game Developers Choice Awards – review

Organizers of the traditional exhibition Game Developers Conference announced annual nominees Game Developers Choice Awards (GDCA). And this time the leader was the game of Hideo Kojima Death stranding: she claims seven awards.

Noticeably inferior to her Control and Outer wilds. These games appear on the lists of nominees five times. Even less commonly mentioned Disco elysium, Untitled Goose Game (four nominations), as well as Sayonara wild hearts and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (three nominations).

The winners will be determined by a special jury, and during the next Game Developers Conference, they will be presented. The ceremony is scheduled for March 18, it will be broadcast live. Game Developers Conference 2023 will be held in San Francisco from March 16 to March 20.
