10 Video Games That Were ROBBED At The Game Awards 2018

3. Octopath Traveller

Spider Man Game Awards
Nintendo

You're probably saying to yourself, "Surely Octopath Traveller won an award. Surely it won the award for Art Direction at least." Well... nope.

Octopath Traveller was nominated for Best Art Direction but it lost to the black and white Return of the Obra Dinn; it was nominated for Best Score/Music but lost to Red Dead Redemption 2, and it was nominated for Best Role-Playing Game but lost to Monster Hunter World.

It should most certainly have won the Score/Music award, and, quite frankly, Monster Hunter World isn't even really an RPG, so it perhaps should have won there as well.

It's incredible that a game as fantastic and beautiful as Octopath Traveller could bypass the entire year without an award. While many games on this list lost to simple better competition, this one lost unjustly.
