Here are the winners from the 2022 Canadian Game Awards

'Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy' won Game of the Year at the CGAs

The 2022 Canadian Game Awards streamed on April 8th, doling out awards across 21 categories, including ‘Best Game Design,’ ‘Best Indie Game,’ and the coveted ‘Game of the Year.’

As in years past, the CGAs put a spotlight on incredible games made in Canada, as well as on the people that made those games.

Winners were selected by a Judging Committee, which included MobileSyrup’s own Brad Shankar along with a host of other Canadian-based media professionals.

Now, let’s get into the winners, starting with the big one: Game of the Year.

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy took home the CGA’s Game of the Year award. Developed by Eidos-Montréal, the action-adventure game released in October 2021 to generally positive reviews. Players take control of Peter Quill/Star-Lord and lead other members of the titular team (including Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Drax the Destroyer) through harrowing adventures in the Andromeda galaxy.
