Sony Santa Monica's God of War has won the Game of the Year award at The Game Awards 2018 ceremony. The acclaimed Norse adventure also picked up awards for best direction and best action-adventure.

Rockstar's smash hit Western Red Dead Redemption 2 won the most awards, riding home with four. The sprawling adventure won best narrative, best performance for Roger Clarke as Arthur Morgan, best music for Woody Jackson and Daniel Lanois' score and best audio.

Indie gem Celeste won two for best independent game and the Game for Impact award. And battle royale phenomenon Fortnite also took two with best ongoing game and best multiplayer.

The Game Awards, organised and hosted by Geoff Keighley, is now in its fifth year and has become a key date on the gaming calendar. As well as handing out awards for the best achievements in the industry across the year, the show has become a hotbed for new game announcements and trailers. This year saw games such as Dragon Age 4, Far Cry: New Age and The Outer Worlds all revealed for the first time.

The shortlists for the awards are decided by a panel of international media, while the winner is decided by a combination of critic input and public vote.

And, do you reckon it's deserved? I haven't played it.

I wasn't impressed that much with God of War.

Personally I would have gone with Red Dead Redemption mainly because its multi-platform. Seems a bit unfair, but thats just my opinion.

I disagree
Not with the game itself, but I do not agree that games limited to a single console should win game of the year when only 1 / 4 people can play it.

That's pretty dumb.

I think this is the best part of the Game of The Year event.

I totally lost it...

The ninja part ruin it though...

played the first 15 minutes or so and then got distracted by something at home, i need to start this again and finish it. From the little that i saw it looked pretty good. The mechanics threw me a little but nothing too major i will get the hang of it with a little more game-play.
