The Gamescom jury was won over by Dreams' “at once powerful while also accessible” toolbox. The title also won the Most Original Game prize and the honor of Best Sony PlayStation 4 Game, announced earlier.

Borderlands 3, the latest installment in 2K's irreverent action shooter, won the coveted Most Wanted award as the most highly-anticipated title among ordinary fans at this year's Gamescom. Borderlands 3 also won Best Multiplayer Game.

In other fan-chosen categories, German group PietSmiet won the Best Streamer/Let's Player honor and Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. was voted the Best eSports Experience. El Hijo, a non-violent stealth game from Berlin-based Honig Studios, won the Gamescom Indie Award for best independently developed title.

THQ Nordic, publisher of such titles as Darksiders Genesis and Destroy All Humans, was voted Best Games Company, while its hit title Desperados III was tapped as Best Strategy Game.

The inaugural Heart of Gaming award was given by the jury to Gamescom fans themselves for their embracing of diversity within the gaming community, in particular the support for accessibility for gamers with physical handicaps at the 2019 event.
