The Artful Escape– my indie game of the year for 2021–snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by getting the final award from its three nominations, rightfully claiming Artistic Achievement after missing out on Audio Achievement and Debut Game. However, there were a handful of notable games that lost out on well-deserved accolades: Death’s Door, despite being my third-favorite indie game of 2021, missed out on both Best British Game and Best Original Property The Forgotten City, Genesis Noir, and Maquette all had a strong claim for Debut Game. The two funniest moments of the night came from Hazelight Studios’ founder and creative director Josef Fares when he took to the stage, when It Takes Two literally took two awards. ![]() When accepting the Bafta for Best Original Property, Fares seemed surprised when the audience cheered EA for supporting its vision for It Takes Two, apparently because of EA’s reputation. 'It Takes Two' literally took two awards from the Baftas. Later, when he picked up It Takes Two’s accolade for Multiplayer, he opened by saying: “This was expected, actually. But I don’t get a big head, don’t worry about it!” It’s hard not to admire his bravado. On a quick aside, it’s hard not to draw attention to one of the lesser-appreciated awards of the night. Finally and rightfully claiming its award for Best Evolving Game was No Man’s Sky, which completing its redemptive arc in the eyes of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts after losing out to Sea of Thieves in 2021. While many may still remember it for its launch, Hello Games went on such a mission to deliver on its original promises–and then offered ten times more–which led to its fans not only crowdfunding a thank-you for the team, but raising so much money that they were able to give numerous consoles and games to children’s hospitals across Sydney, Australia.

It used to produce faster than iron totems, but their stats are both equal now. Prior to November 1, 2020, if a player held the Test Totem out, its model would be invisible.
