Hi everyone, Rich here. Last year, A1an from the Discord set up some Supporter Awards for the best games of the year and we discussed the results on DF Direct Weekly, just before the holidays. This year, we're doing it again, but we're looking for much more input, this time around - so why not open it up to all Supporters, not just Discord dwellers?

The link you'll need to vote for your favourites is: https://forms.gle/P1WXXtr5i9vAzjoT9

Here's A1an with the outline, per the link above:

Please vote for your top 10 games released this year.

For your convenience, the games that DF reviewed this year are provided for each rank. If you wish to vote for a game not listed, please select the "Other" option and then enter each game title exactly how it is listed on its respective store page.

With the game industry being as it is, here's some guidance on what counts as released this year:

What DOES count?

New games published for the first time between December 1st 2023 and December 1st 2024

New DLC with significant new content (eg: Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdree)

Remasters / Remakes (eg: Silent Hill 2)

Leaving early access (eg: Satisfactory) 

VR Games also have a special category for your number one VR game! Any others, use the normal area.

What DOESN'T count?

Ports with large enhancements (eg: God of War Ragnarök on PC, Ace Combat 7 on Switch)

Free updates for existing games (eg: Fallout 4's next-gen update)

Demos / Beginning early access (eg: No Rest for the Wicked)

New seasons for live service games (eg Fortnite)

And if you missed it earlier, here's the link: https://forms.gle/P1WXXtr5i9vAzjoT9

Concord on the list. Oh yeah it's Concording time.

Ferdinand

Just gonna put in Bloodlines 2 for most anticipated game and hope it comes out.

Naryoril

What about games released in 2023 in Japan, but in 2024 in the west? Talking about Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak

bb050dba

a Best Port category would be kinda interesting too.

Soulspeed68

Ys X is an option you can choose in the drop down menu, and that game also released last year in Japan. So the english release is probably the only one that counts. Also Daybreak came out in 2021 in Japan, not 2023.

....I tried to vote for something on your list, but honestly there's nothing in there that I have played and is worthy of top honours. The only game that is probably great is Astro Bot, but I haven't personally played it as I don't have (nor want) a PS5. Everything else on that list is good, but not great. My personal best game this year is GoW:Ragnarok as it finally hit PCs, but of course it's not eligible. Balatro it is then 🃏

Naryoril

*sigh* Don't remind me of the horrible localization times of the trails series... of course you are right, unfortunately. And i should have noticed that about Ys X. Thanks

ConcreteLlama

This is great! I don't think I'll participate though as only 2 of the games I've played in the past year were released in the time period so my list would just be: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Another Crab's Treasure

Naryoril

You say that games going into early access don't count, but then have Palworld as one of the games you can select in the list... Talking about the list of games you can select: Only 2 on there that I played (Echoes of Wisdom and Ys X)

Alan

The drop-down is for ease of use and the games DF have covered, if a game is not there, there's a space to manually write it in.

You don't need to select ten.

Naryoril

The main problem is that there is a game in there, that is not eligible for election (Palworld) With the second part i basically just wanted to say: "I apparently play games that are too niche". But yeah, that sentiment wasn't made clear, sorry.

Trog Troginson

Maybe it’s not clear, but you can select up to 10, so if you only have 2 favorites, that’s totally ok.

ConcreteLlama

Haha no I know, it's more that I only played 2 so really I'd just be saying "these are the games I played", but don't feel I've sampled a wide enough selection to claim whether they're "the best". Although Lost Crown clearly is one of them this year. Maybe I'll just pop that in

Trog Troginson

You can select fewer than 10 games. You can select up to 10. If you only have 1 or 2 that’s fine.

zephyr

Just removed it. Thanks for the report!

Slurms

Friendly reminder that Avatar is eligible. Pretty decent game and made my top 10

Snorlax cat

I have been onboard with this since day one. god bless a1an and also trog and zephyr for following this through, lets make DF supporter awards great again!

Alan

Hi, The Palworld inclusion was an error. The dropdown is just games DF has made videos on to make it easier for people. No worries :)

Alan

It is the official first release, so if a game was released in Japan in 2023 it won't be eligible. This was the case in the previous awards, but the dates will always be the same, 1st December the previous year to 1st December the current year, it is better to have that rather than 18th December for example.

Naryoril

In that case, Ys X Nordics shouldn't be on the list. Also, this rule basically excludes all Japanese games that come to the west with a delay. I bet that hardly anyone here plays games in Japanese. So for example you couldn't vote for Ys X in 2023 because you couldn't play it, simply because of the language barrier, but when you actually can play it, you can't vote for it anymore.

Fractal Flow

It's more of a commentary that this year hasn't been the best year for games. I don't think that many at all will be remembered when we look back.

Speedworth

Metaphor is my personal top 1

MlSTER STONE

I know we can write in our own picks but Animal Well and Balatro should be an option on the drop down.
