Helldivers 2 Wins Game of the Year at UK Industry Awards | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Helldivers 2 was the big winner at the 2024 TIGA Awards, scooping Game of the Year, Best Visual Design, and Best Technical Innovation.

The chaotic co-op shooter set the world on fire when it launched back in February (god, that feels like so long ago), but its popularity steadily declined as the months wore on, to the point where it's now all but buried when it comes to Game of the Year conversations.

So in that sense, it's nice to see Helldivers 2 get some recognition. TIGA's Game of the Year award was decided by attendees of the actual ceremony, which took place on the 28th November.

For those wondering, TIGA is a trade association that works to bolster the UK's video game industry. It has enough backing to launch government-facing campaigns, and loads of high profile developers and publishers are counted as members.

It's also worth mentioning that Sony grabbed a couple of other awards, which were decided by judges. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 claimed Best Use of a License (we assume its October 2023 release date makes the cut), and The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered won Best Narrative in Games. We guess Naughty Dog's story has simply never been bettered over the last four years!

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

I love managed democracy!

A great game
