Today (16), the nominees in all categories were revealed in The Game Awards 2021. In a quick broadcast, Geoff Keighley showed titles like Deathloop and Psychonauts 2 standing out, already appearing with big favorites, with nominations in different categories.
It Takes Two also received recognition, appearing a few times as nominated and even being one of the competitors for the great game of 2021. In the best game of the year category, names already expected appeared, but the absence of Forza Horizon 5 can be considered unfair by much of the public.
