Winning Game of the Year carries a lot of weight. It generally means that a game is popular with critics and fans, has sold a lot of copies, and has generated a lot of enthusiasm in the community. The Game of the Year 2024 nominees certainly meet that criteria, so let’s get started.
Square Enix has taken a long time to finish this trilogy. First announced in 2015, it’s taken nine years to get the first two parts of a three-part trilogy together. Final Fantasy 7 Remake delivered Square’s fleshed-out vision in 2020, but Rebirth is a different, beautiful beast altogether.
I’ve lost 100 hours of my life to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and I’ve loved every second of it. Each biome is as unique as the last, and characters I’ve been attached to for over 20 years are realized in endearing ways. I truly believe this is Square Enix’s best work. The only downside is that I’ll have to wait another three or four years for the reimagined story to wrap up.
