This year’s competition was stacked with several noticeable experiences, from Resolution Games’ expertly crafted VR dungeon crawler Demeo to Vertigo Games’ fast-paced co-op shooter After the Fall. The following is a full list of the 2022 nominees:
- After The Fall by Vertigo Games
- Demeo by Resolution Games
- Lone Echo II by Ready at Dawn / Oculus Studios
- Resident Evil 4 VR by Armature Studio & Oculus Studios
- Song in the Smoke by 17-BIT
That said, there can only be one winner, and this year that honor went to Resident Evil 4 VR. A VR adaptation of the hit 2005 action-adventure game of the same name, RE4 VR puts you in the shoes of Leon S. Kennedy, a special agent for the US government tasked with rescuing the president’s daughter from a psychotic cult.
The game has been released on virtually every platform known to man, from modern consoles to smartphone devices. That said, Armature Studios’ VR adaptation takes the game in a bold new direction with custom motion controls and VR-specific interactions.
Last year RE4 VR took home the award for “VR Game of the Year” at The Game Awards 2021 as well as the Best Remake and Best AR/VR Game of the Year at the 11th Annual New York Game Awards in February.
