This year's Game Awards nominees highlight a difference in how we see allagesgames versus mature ones.
In the past few years, I’ve become the type of girl who looks forward to The Game Awards more than the Academy Awards. This year, however, is a little bit different. As host Geoff Keighley announced this year’s nominees, I hoped to see Sonic Frontiers get a bit of recognition. While mixed reviews meant it was unlikely to compete for Game of the Year, it felt like a potential shoo-in for categories like Best Action/Adventure Game.
Related All-ages games should be equal to mature games Just like animated films, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with playing games that carry the E-rating. They’re totally appropriate for children 12 and younger and a source of relaxation for most adults, even when we’re old enough to play Mature-rated games. Plenty of great games released this year nailed that approach, creating experiences that layered surprising thematic depth into something for players young and old.
This year also saw some key rereleases that remind us that all-ages games have always strived to deliver more than kid-friendly escapism. Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series, a compilation of remakes from the original Klonoa duology, discusses mental health in a way that is endearing to both kids and adults.
