"I think Fractured Blooms is one of those games where you might think you know what it is by looking at it right now, but it's actually a lot more than that. You’re barely scratching the surface with even the demo that you played. I can't wait to show people what our true intent really is with the game."

Congratulations to 1000xRESIST, VGG's 2024 Game of the Year winner — we can't fathom having gone through this year without playing it.

These 10 were bright spots in the world of games, and earned a place on VGG's 2024 Game of the Year nominee list.
