This story is part of our coverage of The Game Awards 2024 The Game Awards nominations are always a hot topic among the video game industry and its fans.
Everybody has an opinion on what was nominated, what deserves to win, and which games were snubbed. Some games like The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, and Dragon’s Dogma 2 got a nomination or two but not in major categories, while other critically acclaimed, popular games didn’t get nominations at all.
We know that getting The Game Awards recognition isn’t the be-all end-all of whether a game is “good” or not, and many of these games were recognized at the inaugural Indie Game Awards and will likely get nominations at other shows.
Whether they fell under the radar or were in niche genres, there were many potential entries (many of which Digital Trends submitted as our nominations) that need to be celebrated despite — and we can’t stress this enough — getting zero nominations.
