The nominees for this year's Bafta Games Awards have been announced, and God of War Ragnarök is dominating the list with nominations in 11 of the 18 categories.

Elden Ring, Stray and Tunic follow behind Ragnarök in terms of number of nominations, whilst Eurogamer favourites OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome are in the running for Best British Game.

(One of my personal favourites, Trombone Champ, is up for best debut game. I'll be tooting for you!)
