There’s been a veritable avalanche of nice video games in 2024, and the massive hitters are actually up for the gold.
The nominations for The Recreation Awards had been introduced on Monday night, with Recreation of the 12 months nominees Closing Fantasy VII Rebirth, Balatro, Black Fable: Wukong, Astro Bot, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, and Metaphor: ReFantazio dominating the record.
Indie video games like Life is Unusual: Double Publicity, Neva, Indika, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, Manor Lords, Pacific Drive, and extra are all up for awards, and main releases like Helldivers 2, Silent Hill 2, Star Wars Outlaws, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Knowledge, and Name of Responsibility: Black Ops 6 are up for awards too — although not Recreation of the 12 months.
And for TV followers, Arcane, Fallout, Knuckles, Like a Dragon: Yakuza, and Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft are all nominated for Greatest Adaptation.
Notably, one of many greatest snubs was BioWare’s glorious Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which solely landed one nomination this yr for Innovation in Accessibility. I am positive full and utter icon Taash would have one thing to say about this.
