Destructoid’s award for Best PC game of 2024 goes to…

In 2024, Metaphor: ReFantazio was named the best PC game of the year by Destructoid. The game is inspired by ATLUS' Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series but features a unique medieval setting where players rescue a prince and face various challenges. It incorporates familiar combat mechanics and introduces Archetypes for enhanced customization. The narrative addresses social and political issues, diverging from typical post-apocalyptic themes, while also including lighter moments for balance.

Other nominees for Best PC Game of 2024 included Dragon’s Dogma 2, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Metal Slug Tactics, Satisfactory, Tiny Glade, and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
