The 27th annual D.I.C.E. Awards took place last night (February 15), and it celebrated some of the best games that we’ve seen in the previous year.
While a range of awards were handed out during the ceremony for different categories, the most coveted one was the D.I.C.E. Awards Game of the Year trophy, which went toBaldur’s Gate 3. Larian Studios’s role-playing game (RPG) epic also won awards for outstanding achievement across story, game direction, game design, and role-playing game of the year.
This dungeons and dragons-inspired RPG from Larian Studios has taken home an impressive number of trophies over that last awards season,winning The Game Awards' Game of the Year. It was also our favorite from last year here at TechRadar Gaming (TRG) as we praised it in our ownend-of-the-year picks from 2023.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2was another big winner during the D.I.C.E. Awards last night. The superhero adventure took home six major awards including outstanding achievement in animation, outstanding achievement in music composition, and outstanding achievement in character. This was a well-earned feat for the action game after not earning a single award at The Game Awards after beingnominated for seven different categories.
“The 27th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards are a testament to the talent and creativity of the interactive entertainment industry, gathering to honor the visionaries whose dedication, innovation, and passion have set new standards and brought us unforgettable gaming experiences,” the president of the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences, Meggan Scavio, said in a press release.
