It Takes Two took home the big award, but games like\u00a0Deathloop\u00a0and\u00a0Forza Horizon 5\u00a0made off with a fair number of trophies too.\u00a0Kena: Bridge of\u00a0Spirits, meanwhile, took both indie categories at The Game Awards 2021, making it a pretty strong debut for Ember Lab. The Matrix\u00a0got a new interactive experience, plus a bunch of other trailers and reveals were shown. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ohClxMmNLQQ Here are all the Game Awards 2021 winners, bolded\u00a0in their category alongside their fellow nominees.
