Horizon Forbidden West is the winner of the Best Storytelling award at this year’s Golden Joystick Awards.
The win in this category means that the team behind Aloy’s second adventure has replicated the success of her first – Horizon Zero Dawn claimed this exact same award back in 2017. That year, however, Zero Dawn also took home PlayStation Game of the Year, and Aloy voice actor Ashly Burch claimed two of her own awards: Best Gaming Performance and the Breakthrough Award.
The list of nominees is as follows:
Having claimed the first award of the night, developer Guerilla Games will no doubt be hoping that success carries on – Horizon Forbidden West is also nominated for three other awards: PlayStation Game of the Year, Best Visual Design, and Ultimate Game of the Year. In all three of those categories, however, it’s also up against this year’s juggernaut, Elden Ring.
In our Horizon…
