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?!

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.
