BAFTA Game Awards 2016 PS4 PlayStation 4 1

It was great night for the PlayStation 4 at the 2016 BAFTA Game Awards, as 11 of the gongs went to titles for Sony's new-gen format – five of which being console exclusives. Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, the haunting adventure game by Dear Esther developer The Chinese Room, did particularly well, scoring awards for music and audio achievement. Merle Dandridge, who voiced Kate in the game, also took home the best performer gong.

Meanwhile, Until Dawn scored a much deserved award for Best Original Property, while Bloodborne took the plaudits for Best Game Design. The fantastic Life Is Strange beat out The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt to win Best Story, as Rocket League got the nod in the multiplayer, sports, and family categories. Batman: Arkham Knight was deemed the Best British Game, leaving Fallout 4 to take Best Game. Bizarrely, there was nothing for CD Projekt Red on the night.
