Cryostasis won Dave Snider's Game of the Year on giantbomb.com.

"If you didn't know by now, our designer Dave believes the best thing to come out of the the former Soviet Union was not potato vodka and perestroika, but odd and original games like Cryostasis: The Sleep of Reason. These Eastern Bloc games not only share a loose geopolitical bond but also come with fiercely original ideas and technology that while not always coherent, are creeping onto Western store shelves at an alarming rate thanks to Russian publishers like 1C.

The best of the bunch this year was Cryostasis, a Ukrainian-developed first-person shooter that allowed you to jump into the past lives of fallen comrades while investigating a derelict ship. That game's frigid mystery and unusual story line seemed a bit off while we played, but then we got to the ending, and well... we're still confused. Cryostasis' ending alone scores five out of five stars on the only criteria you need to win this category... utter bewilderment and originality. "
