I had heard absolutely nothing about Secrets of Grindea, but it looks like a game that’s right up my alley, so it’s been grabbed.
Holy crap they finished it back in Feb! I bought it a decade ago now and it’s just been hanging out in my library since then.
Same! Glad I was introduced to it as well.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth looks really good. I can’t wait until it’s done so I can play it.
I’m out of the loop why the downvotes
Rebirth is already out, but it’s still exclusive to the PS5. The PC port was announced for early 2025 I think. so OP is either making a jab at Rebirth not being available on PC because PC players hate exclusives, or they’re just saying they’re waiting for the 3rd part of the remake trilogy (probably to be expected some time in 2027), which is what a number of players are doing.
Personally, I started on the first part of the remake trilogy, then stopped when I realized how annoyed I would be about waiting for the sequels. So now I’m waiting for all of it to be out on Steam before I start again.
It’s a curse, any comment that mentions Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth gets downvoted.
I’ve never heard of, nor played, any of those games (other than being superficially aware of the final fantasy series).
I guess I live under a rock.
astro bot (4 titles over 11 years), dragon quest (11 titles over 38 years), ace attorney (11 titles over 23 years), or balatro (winning best indie game at both the game awards and the golden joysticks this year)?
It must be a big rock?!
Looking at that list, they seem to be mostly (all?) console or mobile games, which probably explains why I’ve not heard of them.
Are you sure you live in the same universe as the rest of us?
None of them are mobile games. Many of them are on Steam right now and have been available on Steam for months.
Of the OP list astro bot is ps5 only, final fantasy has a PC release scheduled for january and the rest are currently available on steam.
Ace Attorney was a GBA/DS series for awhile.
However, Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit was something that went untranslated (officially, there was a fan patch) for a long time. Fan translation came out 2014, official translation 2024. The base game came out in Japan in 2011 for the DS. It’s definitely not new so I’m not sure it goes on a 2024 list. On the other hand, seeing this series get acknowledged is pretty cool so…
I also live under a rock. I do not play console, and although I do play some mobile games I’m very uninformed about what most of them are. I have heard of Balatro, the Dragon Quest series in general, Astro Bot, the Final Fantasy series in general, and Metaphor: ReFantazio. I clearly know about Ace Attorney. The other games are totally new to me.

Perhaps he didn’t like it. I sure didn’t.

Maybe your add-ins ‘cleaned’ the link somehow, but if you use the full one you can read the article.
