God of War is the 2018 Game Awards’ Game of the Year, beating out stiff competition from games both big and small including Red Dead Redemption 2 and Celeste. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Spider-Man, and Monster Hunter: World also came up short in the category, though a few of them picked up honours elsewhere during the night.
“I’ll be quick because they’re flashing the ‘wrap it up’ but I just want to say every single game that was nominated up here is an absolute fricken masterpiece, please give it up for all of them,” Cory Barlog, the game’s director, added at the end. “And again please give it up for every creator, and that is creators of games, creators of movies, creators of comic books, creators of every single thing that enriches our lives and makes us believe that magic is real.”
