The BAFTA Award winners were announced last night via an online stream.

Outer Wilds

The winner of the Best Game prize was Outer Wilds (PEGI 7). It's available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and is an exploration space mystery about a solar system trapped in an endless time-loop. After 20 minutes of game time, you must start again – but each time brings a new opportunity to learn how you ended up on the planet and solve the secrets of who built the strange galaxy. As you do so, the world evolves and opens up new secrets.

Untitled Goose Game

The winner of the Best Family Game was Untitled Goose Game (PEGI 3) where you control a mischievous goose intent on ruining the day of the inhabitants of a sleeping English village. By stealing items, squawking and otherwise making a nuisance of yourself you slowly discover why the goose is so angry.
