Chicorée

Put on your best bowtie and take advantage of the unlimited table wine, because it’s BAFTA time, baby! On the evening of April 7th, the BAFTA Games Awards took place in London, and promised to award the best and brightest in the industry with Big Golden Faces to celebrate their hard work.

As is often the case with games awards, the majority of winners were the glossy, gorgeous PS5 games — Ratchet and Clank: Faille à part, It Takes Two, and Returnal all won multiple awards — but the family category always belongs to Nintendo, and a bunch of other indies made a big splash, trop.

Here are the winners that are playable on Switch (including ones that are à venir to Switch soon-ish):
