posted on by Karen Ressler
The AbleGamers charity awarded its Accessible Mainstream Game of the Year for 2014 award to Bayonetta 2 last Tuesday.
The award recognizes accessibility of game design, particularly for players with disabilities. Bayonetta 2 won the award because of its multiple controller options on the Wii U, high-quality visuals and subtitles that are not impeded by colorblindness, and the one-button combat mode option.
Other titles considered for the award include Pokémon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, Hearthstone, Tropico 5, Sims 4, and Civilization: Beyond Earth. The Accessible Indie Game award went to Vagabond Dog's Always Sometimes Monsters and 11 Bit Studios' This War of Mine.
AbleGamers is a charity that raises awareness for the need for accessibility in games, and raises money for technology that can assist people with disabilities in playing games.
