Astro Bot dominates Bafta Games Awards with five wins
Sony's 3D platformer scoops five trophies in total at the London ceremony, with Balatro winning best debut.
Accepting the multiplayer award, Johan Pilestedt, chief creative officer at developer Arrowhead, said players had reached out to him to say Helldivers 2 had reconnected them with gamer friends from 10 to 15 years ago.
