Baftas 2017: indie Inside wins big but Uncharted 4 takes best game
by Jordan Erica Webber and Elizabeth Simoens from on (#2JD26)
Playdead's Inside picked up four awards as indie developers outshone major studios but blockbuster took the biggest prize
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."
