Runner up is Balatro.

What say you?

Comments

cgd-2.bsky.social•127 days ago

After the past couple days...absolutely Indiana Jones.

insomniainc.bsky.social•127 days ago

I think it might be Banishers: Ghosts of new eden, cool detective action game where you're fighting ghosts and trying to save some of the worst people from themselves. Of course it's the Vampyr people who made it.

kreskowaty.bsky.social•127 days ago

Helldivers 2! And I'm not really an online gamer!

digdugnate.bsky.social•127 days ago

Balatro for me. Nothing else comes close.

whynocompile.dev•126 days ago

Metaphor 100%

Currently really enjoying poe 2 though.

strayed2far.bsky.social•127 days ago

For me it's Astrobot then Metaphor.

editorguy.bsky.social•127 days ago

For me it’s either

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Or

Like a Dragon : Infinite Wealth

since Shadow of the Erdtree is DLC technically

fuirusmoth.bsky.social•127 days ago

Balatro, closely followed by Animal Well.

haynerland.com•126 days ago

Balatro for me.

lexahere09.bsky.social•127 days ago

I say zenless zone zero

whoistonelli.bsky.social•127 days ago

Silent Hill 2 Remake

bluthundrbmb.bsky.social•127 days ago

i didnt play a single new game this year but since the goty awards count dlc im gonna say gunfire reborn.

kgarriguesart.bsky.social•127 days ago

Lorelei and the Laser Eyes, Silent Hill 2 very VERY closely following it

lionthroat.bsky.social•127 days ago

Balatro.

Honorable mention for Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

I think my choices for biggest disappointments of 2024 would be far more controversial.

serduncan.bsky.social•127 days ago

Unicorn Overlord for me as well! Tbf, I have yet to beat Metaphor or Balatro, otherwise they may be up there too XD

digitalnostalgia.bsky.social•127 days ago

Apart from the horrible name, yes, Fantasio ReMetaphisto. 100%

falgran.bsky.social•127 days ago

I'll second Metaphor. That game had its hooks in me deep.

obn64.bsky.social•127 days ago

I'm only at the first real section of Metaphor, but am liking it so far. Sometimes I shout Persona when using magic.

I think Balatro has to be considered for GOTY. It does a lot of things that the best game should do.

riksoz.bsky.social•127 days ago

Final fantasy rebirth

krakenstein.bsky.social•127 days ago

Game of the Year: Astro Bot.
Runners up: Elden Ring DLC.
LOZ:Echoes of Wisdom
Pacific Drive.

ohydro.bsky.social•127 days ago

ASTRO BOT .... ONLY RIGHT ANSWER

maestress.bsky.social•127 days ago

LADIW closely followed by Balatro

umdizzy.bsky.social•127 days ago

Shadow of the Erdtree was game size in of itself and so good. My choice is still Balatro tho

thebestdavid.bsky.social•127 days ago

Unicorn Overlord, Snakeman!

porkinsfulci.bsky.social•127 days ago

Gi Joe

porkinsfulci.bsky.social•127 days ago

Beat em ups are my favorite genre and it’s excellent

duanejeffers.com•126 days ago

Frostpunk 2. Love me some city building goodness.

zyxst.bsky.social•127 days ago

I'm still playing games from 2011, lol. Astro Bot looks really fun.

smokeytejota.bsky.social•127 days ago

GotY:
-Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Runner Up(s):
-Dragon's Dogma 2 (if it just didn't run horribly at launch might've been GotY)
-Against the Storm (launched December 2023 but didn't know about it til 2024)
-Balatro (I mean it's Balatro)

rosenthorne.bsky.social•127 days ago

Gotta go with Infinite Wealth.

shyguygreg.bsky.social•127 days ago

Shredders revenge DLC also Balatro.

outrider.bsky.social•127 days ago

My GotY is Astro Bot.

Runner up GotY: Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth.

2nd Runner up: Animal Well.

andylaparka.bsky.social•127 days ago

Infinite wealth. Indiana Jones is pushing it very close tbh so far.

datguy83.bsky.social•127 days ago

Probably Dungeon Clawler or Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered

allelitegraps.bsky.social•127 days ago

Currently playing Metaphor. Balatro stole dozens of hours of my life. FF7R was really good. Elden Ring is my favorite game of all time and the DLC was unsurprisingly great. Man...I think I gotta go with Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth though.

tsunderek.bsky.social•127 days ago

UFO50 absolutely blew me away, I knew I was going to like it but I had no idea how much I’d appreciate it.

Runners Up: Deep Rock Galactic Survivor & Balatro

Any major disappointments? I was really frustrated with Gundam Breaker 4.

alexb83.bsky.social•127 days ago

GOTY - Satisfactory
RU - Helldivers 2

dennisbruno.bsky.social•127 days ago

UFO 50!

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a close second

straightupshork.bsky.social•127 days ago

Are we limited to games that only came out in 2024?

Metaphor was really good but for my money I’d have to pick LaD Infinite Wealth out of sheer Yakuza bias

joewoz.bsky.social•127 days ago

Agree.

pikminbreadbug.bsky.social•127 days ago

My favorite was probably Home Safety Hotline. Very small indie game but fantastic

xenobrina.bsky.social•127 days ago

Very cool indie! It's impressive how atmospheric it is despite the majority of the game taking place over a phone call

massivemeltmedia.bsky.social•127 days ago

Make a blue sky account just for my games studio for game dev stuff because my entire Twitter algorithm is just wrestling when out of nowhere fucking serpentico appears in my feed

Lmfaoooo goat shit

🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

soupgroup.bsky.social•127 days ago

Caves of Qud, no question

resdm.bsky.social•127 days ago

Don't judge me. 😅

Game of the Year: Persona 3 Reload

Runner Up: Metaphor ReFantazio

nerdsbeware.bsky.social•127 days ago

Agreed, Metaphor is my current GOTY, Indiana Jone and the Great Circle is catching up though!

mrjosie.bsky.social•127 days ago

Space Marines 2. It is the most video game-y video game I've played in the last few years... if that makes sense?

loggjaw.bsky.social•127 days ago

Like a Dragon and my game is the Path of Exile 2 and next year my game of the year is Path of Exile and

egobolas.bsky.social•127 days ago

I've only played three new games this year.
1. SMTV: Vengeance
2. Baldur's Gate III
3. WH40K: Rogue Trader

If Baldur's Gate III was called Divinity: Original Sin III and instead of Astarion we had The Red Princion it'd be number one though.

stitch1993.bsky.social•127 days ago

I haven't played much this year but it's tied right now between Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Endless Ocean: Luminous

skeelostan.bsky.social•127 days ago

Romancing SaGa: Revenge of the Seven

maxwellz.bsky.social•127 days ago

Do games that released on PC this year count? Cause FFXVI is a contender. Though Indiana Jones might be a dark horse contender coming up late in the game.

bensplastictherapy.bsky.social•127 days ago

Black Myth Wukong and the Elden Ring dlc. Both tied for first place.

hollow022.bsky.social•127 days ago

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth

ghostchuuu.bsky.social•127 days ago

metaphor is also my pick. brilliant game. FF7 rebirth in a close second

tewanxiousbooker.bsky.social•127 days ago

One of these two, it would send a nice message I think

paleblood85.bsky.social•127 days ago

I wanna say Shadow of the Erdtree since it’s big enough to be its own game, but it’s a pretty controversial topic since it’s dlc. Haven’t really played anything new this year, but going with Astro Bot if no SotET.

twkreviews.bsky.social•127 days ago

Top 5:
FF7 Rebirth
Dragon Age Veilguard
Star Wars Outlaws
Paper Mario TTYD
Like a Dragon ♾💴

Honorable mention:
Bakeru

riksoz.bsky.social•127 days ago

Im playing outlaws now i love it but also hate some of the gameplay elements but love the story

andylaparka.bsky.social•127 days ago

It’s a weird one. Looks gorgeous at times/sometimes looks ropey ,it doesn’t do anything particularly well in isolation either, quite a lot it does bad.

But I loved it!

riksoz.bsky.social•127 days ago

It kinda went backwards from avatar witch i loved

twkreviews.bsky.social•127 days ago

I enjoyed everything that wasn't stealth.

riksoz.bsky.social•127 days ago

And the mini games i had to turn them off because they just got in the way after 20 hours

twkreviews.bsky.social•127 days ago

I don't hate all of them but I couldn't get my mind around the lockpicking.

riksoz.bsky.social•127 days ago

Sammmmmmmmmme i like the sliceing one

mikeleiderman.bsky.social•127 days ago

GOTY Balatro with runner up UFO 50 for me.

squigglyghost.bsky.social•127 days ago

Astro Bot, though I am working my way through Metaphor ReFantazio and loving it, so I could change my mind.

tranquilodude.bsky.social•127 days ago

FF7 rebirth

nowakkasm8.bsky.social•127 days ago

BM Wukong!

oujastrike.bsky.social•127 days ago

Indiana Jones but also can’t recall all the games I played this year

kasuta-ikite.bsky.social•126 days ago

Rebirth will not win because its a jrpg. But Rebirth is the best game of this year. Of any year since 2010 really

jcpxdesigns.bsky.social•127 days ago

Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, with Metaphor as (a very close!) runner up.

loggjaw.bsky.social•127 days ago

Love like a dragon.

jcpxdesigns.bsky.social•127 days ago

I spent my entire year catching up on all the entries and spinoffs I hadn't played!

loggjaw.bsky.social•127 days ago

I bought them all and finished Judgement and that’s about all. I love but I play to much Path of Exile

capnsmite.bsky.social•127 days ago

Animal Well

andy.wrestlejoy.com•127 days ago

Balatro, and it doesn't feel particularly close. But that's just my tastes, lots of valid answers.

chefdiogenes.bsky.social•126 days ago

Holy hell it's really that good? I LOVE deck builders and roguelikes/lites and I've been hesitant to get it

andy.wrestlejoy.com•126 days ago

Yes, although it helps if you know how to play poker, and or like poker.

But it’s not a requirement

chefdiogenes.bsky.social•126 days ago

I like playing most card games, it helps calm my OCD.

This is going to eat up hours of my life, isn't it?

andy.wrestlejoy.com•126 days ago

Yes. It’s crazy good

judy3t.bsky.social•127 days ago

I'm enjoying Once Human at the moment. I'd love to know the WHY of people's choices. For me, the end game of reincarnation into a new season starting at 0 is fascinating. And the storylines are hysterical. The writing is brilliant.

burning713.bsky.social•127 days ago

I tend to play back-catalog games so I’m always a year or more behind.

Having said that, I really enjoyed Nightmare Reaper and God of War on PS5.

Lord help me I’m hoping to finish Death Stranding DC this weekend and run through Monster Hunter World before MH Wilds comes out.

blueyedjho.bsky.social•127 days ago

just got around to playing spider-man 2, but it's between that and the Elden Ring DLC.

though I do need to play more games lol

shamemonster.bsky.social•127 days ago

Elden Ring: SotE

DLC or not, perfect FromSoft level design

gregbush.bsky.social•127 days ago

Astro Bot for me. The amount of work that went into this adorable platformer wowed me. So many great gimmicks. I know it was essentially a $60 Sony ad. I don’t care. It was perfect.

Runner Up: Unicorn Overlord

kaelaltreul.bsky.social•127 days ago

Adding to this, same deal except Romancing SaGa 2 Remake was my #1 then Astrobot at #2 and Unicorn Overlord was #3.

gregbush.bsky.social•127 days ago

Ah yeah I’ve heard Romancing SaGa 2 Remake is fantastic. It’s on my to do list but I probably won’t get to it before January.

kaelaltreul.bsky.social•127 days ago

The snes original is my 3rd favorite game of my favorite franchise and remake was really well done overall. Hope ya enjoy it when time comes.
