The inaugural NYX Game Awards was a monumental success. "We received many different game entries, including indie games that rivals the AAA games," Kenjo Ong, CEO of IAA, said. "With the game industry blooming even in these trying times, this is the golden age of gaming!"
IAA ensured submissions were assessed fairly by enacting strict standards, followed by top industry experts as judges.
This year, professionals of various disciplines formed a jury panel. These individuals were well represented, from companies such as SEGA, Biba, Halon Entertainment, Player One Trailers, Trialis Studios, Second Dinner Studios, and many more.
Panelists adjudicate by referring to industry-relevant standards. Then, out of the many entries, the winners are selected.
The NYX Game Awards also welcomed game professionals and companies from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, China, and many more.
The NYX Game of the Year (GotY) was awarded to The Last of Us Part II, exemplifying overall excellence. The game represented the best gameplay, visuals, and plot in the competition. The Naughty Dog title also won Platinum in Best Game Design, Best Storytelling, Best Game Direction, and more.
The NYX Game Awards saw names of known AAA titles, indie games, and game trailers in its list of entries.
The critically acclaimed games were submitted by the developers, or entrants who produced or published works for them, including Godfall (Gearbox Publishing), Asphalt 9: Legends (Gameloft), Sky: Children of the Light (thatgamecompany), Borderlands 3 (2K Games), Xuan-Yuan Sword VII (SOFTSTAR Entertainment), Rogue Company: Dr. Disrespect Partnership (Hi-Rez Studios), to list a few.
