It Takes Two and Ratchet & Clank also at the winners' tableThis weekend saw the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) host its annual awards ceremony, The IGDA Global Industry Game Awards. The event recognizes some of the best titles in recent memory, with a keen focus on the mechanics, technical prowess, and use of new and upcoming technology to create titles that are as respected by developers as they are by button-mashing players.

While many titles were featured in the 2022 edition of the IGDA Game Awards, several titles, in particular, walked away with armfuls of gongs. The biggest winner was Arkane's time-warping shooter Deathloop (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-deathloop/), which bagged itself a very impressive 13 awards across numerous categories. This was closely followed by Electronic Arts' co-op adventure and frequent GOTY winner It Takes Two (https://www.destructoid.com/it-takes-two-is-a-blast-and-i-hope-hazelight-keeps-making-co-op-games-forever/), which would go home carrying 10 trophies.
Among the other big winners were Housemarque's excellent PS5 blaster Returnal (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-returnal/), and Insomniac Games' cartoonish adventure Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-ratchet-clank-rift-apart/) both of which masterfully used the fledgling PS5 infrastructure to create ambitious titles with dazzling visuals, epic locations, and exciting, cinematic gameplay. On the indie front, newcomer Double Loop Games won the awards for Upcoming Indie Studio and Workplace Diversity and Inclusivity.
