Dark Souls II has been named game of the year at the 2014 Golden Joystick awards.

Now in its 32nd year, the Golden Joysticks are the only annual awards voted for by gamers.

The ceremony also saw Metal Gear Solid series creator, Hideo Kojima, get a lifetime achievement award.

Other winners included DayZ, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft and Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag, which all took home two awards.

Destiny, which at £310m was the most expensive game ever to make, failed to pick up any of the four awards it was nominated for.

Following on from Demon's Souls and Dark Souls, Dark Souls II is the third game in the RPG series.

Described as "near perfect" when it was released in March, the game was the resounding winner as voted for by gamers around the world.
