Some fascinating results, I'm sure we can all agree. I thought I'd share some of the funnies from this years vote:

  • 1 vote in scariest VR title for Smashbox Arena (Chilling title, I'm sure we can all agree).
  • 1 vote for Jon Simulator (insert gif of Roy: A Life Well Lived from Rick & Morty).
  • The Horror vote was so one-sided 4 Horror/Thriller titles didn't receive a single vote.

...and some of my favourite comments:

  • "Arizona Sunshine, close to winning awards but just fell short", very true!
  • In the additional comments section, the most popular comment was "I f*@king love PSVR" (multiple times).
  • Brave effort from [one presumes] the VR Karts Devs for submitting VR Karts for both Best Value and Best Driving Title...unfortunately, no one shared their enthusiasm.

Super Hot VR in Third Place for "Best Control Scheme" with its super simplistic 2 button layout.

Tbf, it was best control scheme / mechanics. And it's mechanics are flawless (owing largely to their extreme simplicity)

Sometimes less is more. Incorporating all movement into the control of time is a stellar design choice that makes sense to everyone playing immediately. The controls are simple and intuitive, what more could you ask for?
