January was a strong month for games, and February looks to continue the trend of hotly anticipated releases. On that note, here are Gamers Heroes’ 5 best games of February 2024. Oh, and we won’t make you click through five pages to look at the entire list.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Following the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, Cloud’s Strife’s story continues with the release of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
Following the party’s escape from Midgar, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will feature a more open-ended environment compared to Final Fantasy VII Remake’s linear progression system.
The Active-Time Battle (ATB) system makes its return, along with action-focused melee combat. Making its appearance in Episode InterMISSION is the Synergized Mechanic, which allows for members to sync up attacks.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will come out for the PlayStation 5 on February 29.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and King Shark will take the spotlight with the release of Rocksteady Games’ Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
As one would expect with the title, players will be tasked with taking on the infamous Justice League, which is under the control of Brainiac.
Along the way, this action shooter will have players teaming up for four-player cooperative multiplayer shenanigans. To keep things unique, each character has access to two weapon classes, along with a unique melee combat style and traversal method. A skill tree encourages growth as well, and players can re-spec at their leisure.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will come out for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on February 2.
Persona 3 Reload
The Dark Hour awaits once more with the release of P-Studio and Atlus West’s Persona 3 Reload.
A remake of 2006’s JRPG Persona 3, this title will once again have players joining the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad (S.E.E.S.) as they set out to defeat Shadows and climb Tartarus.
The development team has overhauled Persona 3 with the Reload release. Various graphical and functional updates have been made, along with new character designs and music. A number of quality of life changes have also been made to improve the overall experience.
Persona 3 Reload will come out for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on February 2.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink
The Granblue Fantasy franchise will feature a new action RPG with the release of Cygames and Xseed Games’ Granblue Fantasy: Relink in February.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is far from a solo affair; its real-time combat supports up to four-player co-op. Each enemy and party formation has strengths and weaknesses, with Link Attacks and Chain Bursts helping out in a pinch.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink will come out for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC on February 1.
