BAFTA 2020: Death Stranding e Control dominano le nomination

I BAFTA Games Awards 2020 sono sempre più vicini. Tra meno di un mese potremo scoprire quali sono i vincitori dei vari premi, ma prima di tutto è necessario che ci siano delle nomination. Fortunatamente, le 18 categoria dei premi sono state svelate nelle ultime ore. A dominare sono Death Stranding e Control. Il primo è il più recente gioco di Hideo Kojima e della sua Kojima Productions, mentre il secondo è l'avventura metroidvania di Remedy Entertainment (autori di Alan Wake e Max Payne, tra i vari).
