Senua's Saga: Hellblade II leads the way at this year's BAFTA Games Awards, with 11 nominations for the Norse-themed action-adventure saga.
The fifth installment in the Astro Bot series and '70s-set horror Still Wakes the Deep earn eight nods apiece, while kooky game Thank Goodness You're Here!, set in Northern England, has a respectable seven.
Ahead of the ceremony on April 8, BAFTA chief executive Jane Millichip said: "Today's list of 41 nominated games is full of fresh, bold and fantastically varied genres - cinematic blockbusters, narrative-led adventures, online multiplayers and family games. Our nominations are a fantastic way for players to discover games they might never otherwise consider.
"We look forward to celebrating the best of the best at the 21st BAFTA Games Awards on 8 April. Save the date and join our Awards livestream on BAFTA's YouTube and Twitch for what promises to be a memorable night."
