VR Game of the Year Category – Golden Lance 2025
Despite the tech world rushing into the AI bubble, one would think that VR was left by the wayside. However, VR game offerings have never been more diverse, more compelling than ever before. From movie tie-ins to historic collabs, VR is witnessing a steady and stellar release of games that will keep players glued to their headsets. With that said, here is Lords of Gaming’s 2025 Golden Lance Award for Best VR game.
Winner – Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked
Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked deserves VR Game of the Year because it delivers the most immersive, fully realized tabletop adventure the medium has ever seen. It isn’t just “good for VR”—it’s a masterclass in how VR can elevate storytelling, world-building, and tactical gameplay. Every environment feels like a handcrafted diorama brought to life, every spell and attack erupts with physical presence, and the narration ties it all together with the warmth and cadence of a true dungeon master.
The game achieves a seamless blend of accessibility, depth, and spectacle, making each campaign feel like an epic session played around a magical, living table. In a year crowded with VR experiments and tech showcases, Battlemarked stands out because it’s not a novelty—it’s a complete, confident, endlessly replayable experience that proves VR can deliver adventures as rich and memorable as any traditional platform.
