Indie darling Inside and AAA blockbuster Uncharted 4 have won big at the Game BAFTAs, which took place in London, UK last night hosted by comedian Danny Wallace.

Inside, the puzzle platformer from Limbo developer Playdead, walked away with an impressive four BAFTA gongs, for Artistic Achievement, Game Design, Narrative and Original Property.

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, the final entry in the award-winning series from Naughty Dog, won the coveted award for Best Game. It couldn’t quite beat the success of one of its predecessors though, with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves winning four BAFTAs back in 2010.

The brilliant cooking-related multiplayer madness of Overcooked, from Team 17, meant it also took home a set of BAFTA golden faces for the British Game and Family game awards.
