Untitled Goose Game and Control Clean Up at the 2020 DICE Awards

A short but delightful game about a rambunctious waterfowl took home top honours at last night’s DICE Awards, joining games like Overwatch, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Fallout 4 in the pantheon of Game of the Year award winners. Meanwhile, Remedy’s Control snagged four awards of its own.

Untitled Goose Game waddled away with three awards during last night’s annual Design, Innovate, Create, Entertain show. Along with the justly-deserved Game of the Year, developer House House was also awarded “Outstanding Achievement for an Independent Game” and “Outstanding Achievement in Character”.

Remedy’s Control did not win Game of the Year, but it won just about everything else. “Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction”, “Action Game of the Year”, “Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition”, and “Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction”.
