This week Geoff Keighley graced our phones and laptops to reveal which games will compete for honors at this year’s Game Awards. Games like Astro Bot and Black Myth: Wukong were among those earning several nods,

Accessibility features in the game include an auto-pin feature for maps, audio navigation assistance, and a compass. When used in conjunction with the aforementioned auto-pin functionality, guidance is enhanced and “the color of the arrow can be changed to match their needs and ensure it is clearly visible while slaughtering the denizens of hell.”

This was the main takeaway from Monday’s nominations list. TGA’s voting jury is large and internationally diverse, and in the past its collective taste has tended to settle in a rather conservative place.

The Game Awards’ Game of the Year (GOTY) category is highly-contested year after year, and 2024 is no exception. With the list of nominated games being limited to a mere six titles, plenty of games didn’t have a chance to vie for the coveted GOTY trophy – but there are a few massive snubs we can’t help but puzzle at this year.

Other categories honor much smaller projects that didn’t land nominations at The Game Awards. The nominees for Bite-Sized Game includes Buckshot Roulette and Clickolding, while Cryptmaster and Oddada are up for the show’s Innovation award. Here’s the full list of nominees.

Over 73 games and 16 personalities have been nominated for The Game Awards 2024 - but how can you vote for your favourites?

Game awards season 2024 is upon us as the nominees have been announced for the end-of-year gaming celebration set for December 12. This year of gaming hasn't been particularly ground-breaking but there are some decent contenders.
