Baftas 2017: indie title Inside wins big but Uncharted 4 takes best game award
At last year's Bafta Game Awards, the developer of Her Story, Sam Barlow, famously so struggled with his three awards that he carried them around in a champagne bucket. This year, indie developer Playdead went one better by winning four for their dystopian puzzle platformer Inside: Artistic Achievement, Game Design, Narrative, and Original Property. After their previous game, Limbo, won none from four in 2011, the team at Playdead were delighted to take home so many this year: "We kind of expected to continue the clean slate, so we're very happy." Inside just missed out on the award for Best Game which went to Uncharted 4, continuing a tradition of big-budget titles walking away with the top prize (Fallout 4 in 2016 and Destiny in 2015). It was the second Best Game win in five years for Uncharted 4's developer Naughty Dog after The Last of Us won in 2013.
