And that's a wrap on IGN's 2024 Awards! With our Game of the Year now announced -- it's Metaphor: ReFantazio, guys! -- it's time to break down every Best of 2024 winner from our many categories.
The IGN Awards range from games to movies to anime, comics and more. It's always a tough process to decide what the "best" of anything is each year, but the IGN content team works diligently to not just play, view, and read the many titles that are nominated, but to then also determine which of them best stands worthy for an award.
So whether it's FX/Hulu's masterpiece Shogun or Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two or the return of our favorite archeologist in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, we feel confident that our IGN Awards winners represent not just the stuff we loved this year, but also the stuff that you loved.
