Indie Game Awards 2025 ukázali nominácie

Práve boli predstavené nominácie na ocenenie Indie Game Awards 2025, kde sa každoročne vyberajú najlepšie nezávislé tituly roka. O víťazoch sa rozhodne počas hlavného ceremoniálu, ktorý prebehne v decembri 2025 v rámci podujatia podporujúceho nezávislých tvorcov.

V kategórii Game of the Year sa tento rok objavila pestrá zostava projektov - od experimentálnych titulov až po väčšie indie produkcie, ktoré si získali pozornosť hráčov aj kritikov.
