Microsoft has made significant strides in recent years, bringing more of the games that we cover here at Siliconera to its platform. That shows in our Xbox Game of the Year 2024 nominees! Check out this year’s honored titles.
These awards represent the consensus of the Siliconera staff. Multiplatform games are considered on the platform for which they received the most staff support. For more of the year’s award selections, check out our Game of the Year 2024 archive.
Persona 3 Reload
While it’s famously missing some stuff, Persona 3 Reload still manages to be the best version of the much-beloved game. The signature Persona style shines with the added visual fidelity, and new features help you to see more story choices and keep more party members caught up. (Read our review for more!)
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake
Dragon Quest III is a beloved entry in the franchise and the centerpiece of the Erdrick saga, but its original presentation left it inaccessible to a lot of today’s players. The slick HD-2D aesthetic, combined with a host of quality-of-life improvements and updates? They make this iteration of the game the perfect way to play it. (Shaun’s review delves deeper into these things!)
Winner: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
Kiryu and Kasuga’s Hawaiian adventure has all the fun, drama and just plain game inside this game to make it a can’t-miss regardless of whether you’re a long-time Yakuza fan or just showing up now. You can get emotionally invested in its narrative if you’d like, but hey, if not, there’s basically whole Pokemon and Animal Crossing games in here to play too. In many ways, it’s a culmination of the franchise to date! We’re curious to see where Like a Dragon goes from here.
