GOTY | 2024

Games I enjoyed in 2024, mildly ordered.

It's back! And it's still great, it's still such a concise game that will take over your thoughts and day-dreams for weeks.
This game continues to be very fun and rewarding to learn. Fighting games rule.
This game is so dense, and remains fun! How is it you get to Act 3 and the game just gets so much bigger?
Some of the best character work and performances I've seen in a game. And outside of the annoyingly persistent light traversal puzzles it provides interesting combat, and a very satisfying narrative system.
A lovely, solitary game about solidarity.
I've been returning to this game on-and-off and the depth of play is scary and staggering.
Very, very good one-of-these, for better and worse.
Chaotic fun multiplayer experience. Apparently it's an interesting solo game too but I don't got those hands.
Very cool game with a brutally sluggish mid-section.
Turns out a few years later, the game is in a very fun, reasonably balanced spot. Not perfect, but I still admire the ways in which Amplitude try to update the historical 4X; both in mechanic and attempt at softening the world-view these games traditionally portray.
