The official Nominations for the Game Awards 2020 are out, and The Last of Us Part 2 has dominated the scene, despite the criticism it received following launch.

Naughty Dog's ambitious video game released this year amidst a pandemic, which was a bold move considering that the entire world was in a state of commotion.

Did The Last Of Us Part 2 Do Enough To Deserve The Game Awards Nomination?

However, that wasn't the real problem. Several insider leaks spoiled the game's climax, and fans started revolting against the situation, even before its release. This though, seemingly didn't affect the game's performance, as has been proven by a nomination at The Game Awards.

Despite that, the game was undeniably a piece of art, and the Game Awards have seemingly recognized that as well.

It picked up a whopping ten nominations at The Game Awards 2020, in what would likely have come as a surprise to the community.
