With Unity's Unite conference just around the corner, the middleware outfit has announced the finalists for this year's Unity Awards.
This time around there are eleven awards up for grabs, although the coveted Golden Cube award for the best overall game is the one to watch out for.
Every single nominee is in with a chance of winning the top prize, but notable contenders include Campo Santo's stylish wilderness thriller, Firewatch; Playdead's dystopian platformer, Inside; Variable State's lynchian mystery, Virigina; and Ustwo's VR debut, Land's End.
