Voting Criteria and Eligibility
The voting process is defined by reader recommendation: the primary question for voters is, "If you were only able to recommend one new release to a friend that month, which would it be?"
While standard re-releases are excluded from the poll, the editorial team includes "ambitious, larger-scale rebuilds" as eligible candidates, citing titles like Resident Evil 4 (2023) and Final Fantasy VII Remake as examples of their criteria for remakes.
