Overnight, the 2020 D.I.C.E. Awards (Design Innovate Communicate Entertain) took place with some of gaming's best titles being recognised for their tremendous achievements over the past year.

Taking the most prized award of all - Game of the Year - was the one and only Untitled Goose Game. The honky little indie stole the hearts of many last year through its quirky gameplay and refreshingly innocent content, squawking away the competition to take the honours.

Several of Nintendo's top Switch exclusives performed well, too, with the Big N taking home Family Game of the Year, Racing Game of the Year, Strategy/Simulation Game of the Year, and Outstanding Achievement in Animation. Here's the full list of winners:
