Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II released in July 2020, and is one of the best survival games now. The game that suffered delays and crunch times, has received a record-breaking number of awards. Winning as many as 300 Game of the Year awards, it is the most acclaimed title in the history of video games.
The Record
The Last of Us Part II has received 300 of possible 576 Game of the Year Awards in 2020, making it the first game to do so. The runner-up game, Hades, received only 64 awards.

The other games in the list of top ten award-winning giants include the most legendary games ever made. There is Grand Theft Auto V, and Red Dead Redemption 2. The Last of Us Part 2 has just been the most successful of all the great games, receiving worldwide praises for the gameplay and the story.
