Bungie’s sci-fi shooter Destiny has been granted the Best Game Award at this year’s British Academy Games Awards, hosted by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA).

The British Academy Games Awards showcases and rewards “the very best games of the past 12 months,” and saw over 51 games nominated across 17 categories. Other nominees in the best game category included Monument Valley, Mario Kart 8, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and Alien: Isolation. Previous winners of the Best Game award include The Last of Us (2014), Dishonored (2013), Portal 2 (2012), and Mass Effect 2 (2011).

Destiny also picked up nominations for the Game Design, Multiplayer, and Persistent Game awards. This isn’t the first time the game has been nominated for the Game of the Year award, as it received a nomination for the same category at this year’s Game Developers Choice Awards as well as at the D.I.C.E. Awards.

Here’s the full list of winners for each category at this year’s BAFTA awards.
