My Top 10 Games of 2024

2024 was a HUGE year for gaming, and while everyone's already looking ahead to 2025, let's take a moment to appreciate some incredible titles you might have missed! This is my Top 10 games of 2024, split into two parts: 6 MUST-PLAY games and 4 surprising gems you NEED to check out.

#10: Rise of the Ronin: Amazing combat and story, but held back by performance issues and a questionable late-game shift. I break down the good, the bad, and whether it's worth your time. (PS5)

#9: Helldivers 2: Pure, chaotic fun with friends! But did the constant updates and war bonds ruin the experience? I discuss its strengths, weaknesses, and future potential. (PS5, PC)

#8: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown: A phenomenal Metroidvania that rivals the greats like Ori and Hollow Knight. I highlight the incredible abilities system and unforgettable boss fights. (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC)

#7: Astrobot: The 2024 Game of the Year winner! I explain why this charming platformer is a must-play for everyone, not just kids. Get ready for pure joy and some surprisingly challenging levels! (PS5)

#6: The Last of Us Part II Remastered: I was skeptical, but this game blew me away! Incredible narrative, unmatched dynamic combat, and a surprisingly compelling journey with Abby. (PS5)
#5: Stellar Blade: My PERSONAL Game of the Year! Forget the controversy, the combat is Sekiro-level satisfying. Plus, it's gorgeous on PS5 Pro! (PS5)

#4 (Surprise Pick!): Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor: Addictive, satisfying, and perfect for a casual grind. I'm hoping for a console release! (PC)

#3 (Surprise Pick!): Vampire Survivors: It finally hit PlayStation, and the Contra DLC is amazing! This is couch co-op at its finest. (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, iOS, Android)
#2 (Surprise Pick!): Neva: A beautiful, touching indie from the creators of Gris. A short, impactful experience you won't want to miss. (PS5, Nintendo Switch, PC)

#1 (Surprise Pick!): Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2: It's BACK! After patches and a PS5 Pro update, this game is incredible! Brutal, visceral action you need to experience. (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC)
