10 Video Games That Were ROBBED At The Game Awards 2018
1. Marvel's Spider-Man
It was always going to be Spidey.
Just like Horizon: Zero Dawn at last year's Game Awards, Marvel's Spider-Man was completely robbed. The title, developed by Insomniac Games, is the very best Spider-Man game ever made, and perhaps the best superhero game to date. It features addictive, smooth-as-butter gameplay, touching performances, an expectation-defying story, suits galore, a soaring score, and the collectables, holy arachnid Batman!, the collectables! It was a blast from start to finish, and yet, accolades are nowhere to be found!
In any other year, Spider-Man could very well have cleaned house. In 2018 however, it was overshadowed by God of War and Red Dead Redemption. It lost Game of the Year, Best Score/Music, Best Action/Adventure, Best Game Direction, Best Art Direction, and Best Performance for Yuri Lowenthal as Spider-Man/Peter Parker. It was nominated in almost every category and didn't win a single thing. That's a worse robbery than the one Spidey foiled in Homecoming!
Don't feel too sorry for the team however, Marvel's Spider-Man is the fastest-selling PlayStation exclusive ever! Insomniac Games is wiping their tears with dollar bills, and good on them! Better luck next time Insomniac and, make no mistake about it, there will be a next time!
