A look at some of the best remakes and remasters of 2024, including Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Luigi's Mansion 2 HD. The article also discusses the increasing trend of remakes and remasters in the video game industry.
2024 was a really good year for video games. (But not so good for the people who make them.) And while it featured a ton of new games, both big and small, this was also a year with a lot of remasters and remakes. Over the last few years, we’ve seen a sharp increase in the number of remakes and remasters from all publishers and console makers. Most months had at least one or two, and some had even more than that.
The increasing commonality of remakes and remasters is likely one more sign that the video game industry is growing more risk-averse and more reliant on big, safe bets. That’s not great, but some of the remakes and remasters we got in 2024 were excellent, even if their very existence makes me nervous for the future of the game industry. Anyway, here, in no particular order, are some of the best video game remakes and remasters from the past 12 months! Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Rebirth is sure to be a more divisive and debated game than Remake was. But in this deep sea of an RPG, I was thrilled by the action and the tactics, brought to emotional highs and lows through its characters, and found myself with an even greater love of FF7, the original and this return, than I thought was possible. -Claire Jackson Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon, released on 3DS, was always really Luigi’s Mansion 2. So it was nice to see that, when Nintendo decided to remaster and port the 3DS game to Switch, it dropped the Dark Moon subtitle and slapped a 2 (and an HD) on the end. And in a lot of ways, this is still just that game, but now it looks and plays like Luigi’s Mansion 3. As someone who loves that game, that was all I needed, and now I can’t help but wonder if we’ll get a remaster or remake of the original Luigi’s Mansion in the future. It would be nice.
