A masterpiece of the game. This is a Disney inspired platformer with a lot of exploring and incredibly challenging gameplay. The project features wonderful visual effects, stunning backgrounds and some of the best animations in its genre. Ori enjoyed huge commercial success and sold enough copies to cover 4 years of development. https://80.lv/articles/ori-and-the-blind-forest-is-profitable/ Way to go!
Pillars of Eternity by Obsidian Entertainment
Obsidian Entertainment went full oldschool with Pillars of Eternity. It’s an amazing classical CRPG with over 100 hours of gameplay. Unity here works as a time machine really. The project looks like it was built in the 90s. And that’s not a bad thing. On the contrary Obsidian managed to achieve the same kind of atmosphere that charmed the users of Baldur’s Gate. A great game worthy of an award.
DeadCore by 5 Bits Games

A great 3d action/puzzle with an incredible fast and complex gameplay. The visuals here are stunning, though heavily stylized. The project shows the flexibility of the Unity engine and the way you can use the engine to build highly dynamic first person games.
Alto’s Adventure by Snowman
Probably one of the most beautiful mobile games on the market. This is the greatest example of Unity usage by indie studios. This game has changing weather conditions, dynamic day/night cycle, lots of interactive objects and great speed. A premium title achieved a lot of success among the gaming public and was a real critical darling.
Adventures of Poco Eco by POSSIBLE
Adventures of Poco Eco by POSSIBLE
A heavily stylized videogame adventure with very nice soundtrack and smooth gameplay. It’s got some crazy environment, unusual heroes and a lot of sound puzzles. The visual style of the project reminds of Monument Valley, which is always a good thing. We believe this game is going to get at least 5 awards!
