2024 Game of the Year Awards — Genre Awards

I’m so happy to see that adventure titles tend to trend up year over year and has been something to look forward to. Adventure titles have stayed in the indie space and tend to not go above a AA budget which is nice for once. These titles are great if you want good characters and a story and a nice setting to get lost in.

Neva

Neva is about dark vs evil and somehow tells a fantastic story and can wrench tears from you without a single line of voice work. The visuals are absolutely breath-taking and the story is interesting enough to allow player interpretation, but also feel like a full story. The bond between Alba and Neva is portrayed well and you can feel the emotions between the two of them at all times. The combat is simple, but hard to master and there’s always something new being introduced to the player.
