Golden Joystick Awards 2022: svelati i giochi candidati ai premi

Si avvicina la fine del 2022 e con essa il momento di tirare le somme sugli ultimi mesi. Come di consueto, il termine dell’anno coincide con le celebrazioni per i videogiochi che lo hanno caratterizzato e le prime candidature a essersi pronunciate sono state quelle dei Golden Joystick Awards 2022.

Lo spettacolo in formato digitale organizzato da tante testate internazionali come GamesRadar, PC Gamer ed Edge Magazine proporrà una cerimonia che celebrerà i vincitori del Game of the Year e delle altre 17 categorie. Per la nuova edizione dei Golden Joystick Awards sono stati chiamati in causa ben 70 giochi tra cui tripla A del calibro di Elden Ring e produzioni più a basso budget come Tunic (disponibile anche per Nintendo Switch).
