The nominees for The Game Awards have been announced, which means it’s time to make some predictions about what games will be taking home awards. Will Astro Bot clean house? Is Metaphor ReFantazio going to beat out Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in their respective categories? Will Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree take home the coveted Game of the Year award? Let’s talk all about it!
Going into Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, I was equal parts excited and nervous. Its predecessor, Final Fantasy VII Remake, set a high bar after it managed to blow me away and become one of my favorite entries in the franchise. After spending just shy of 80 hours with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, I feel confident in saying that once again my expectations have been surpassed in ways I never would’ve imagined. There are some bumps along the way, but they don’t keep Rebirth from being one of the best Final Fantasy games I’ve played.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is an amazing game that I can’t get enough of, but one thing that I couldn’t help but think about the whole time I played it was how much it makes me want a Final Fantasy X remake of the same scale. I’ve talked about a potential remake of one of the series’ best games before, and now after playing Rebirth, I believe that its open world, its combat, and the amount of depth it gives its characters should serve as the blueprint for what I would love to see from a remake of Final Fantasy X.
There are a lot of great games set to release in 2024 and I’m excited for a lot of them. If I was to make a list of them all, this post would be extremely long, so I’m trimming it down to the 11 that I’m anticipating the most in 2024. Most of them are big games, some of them are small games, and many of them don’t have solid release dates. What they all have in common though is a perceived level of quality that can’t be denied. With that said, let’s get into it.
