2022 Game of the Year Awards — Achievement Awards

We all love our 5-year-in-development big-budget AAA titles, but the indie games are the ones that have been carrying the industry through the slump since the last video game crash of 2008. These games have been the only ones pushing genres forward, defining new series, establishing beloved worlds and characters, and imaginative worlds.

Not for Broadcast

Not for Broadcast isn’t just the best live action FMV game ever made, but probably the funniest. It pokes fun at politics, the recent pandemic, and has phenomonal acting. Being the broadcast censor really makes things a lot of fun and adds layers of gameplay and challenge. The game really makes you feel like your choices matter, and the side story of dealing with your family in this dystopian world adds just one more layer on the cake. This is a fantastic, unique, and wholly original game that has never been done before.
