The Game Awards 2020 Retrospective

About this episode

The episode reviews the Game Awards from 2020 to assess the lasting impact of its nominees and winners.

The FRG Podcast is back for 2026, now that one of its hosts has gotten over his month-long ailment. And in our time-honored tradition, we take the time to review the Game Awards...from 5 years go. Why? To see how that year's nominees and winners held up against time. Did they make a splash and then wash away in obscurity? Or did they remain as staples in video game culture and iconography? We might not be qualified to answer any of that,t but we have no shame.
