We move into the final month of 2024 and another year draws to a close, so its time to roll out my annual Game of the Year thread. Remember, this isnt what you think GOTY will be, its what YOUR GOTY is. As usual, I hope that the list here ends up giving some people a few titles to try out over the Christmas period that they might have overlooked in the year. Once again there's been a hefty amount of bigger name titles this year, Helldivers 2, Last Epoch, Dragons Dogma 2, Horizon Forbidden West, V Rising, Black Myth Wukong, Space Marine 2, God of War Ragnarok and Stalker 2 and theres also been some out of nowhere popular games like Balatro and Pacific Drive...but what will be taking home YOUR coveted GOTY award.
The rules are the same as every previous year and the same "Note" applies. For those who havent seen the previous yearly threads, here's the info again :
Please Note : These are the rules that I use myself when I am weighing up the years games to pick which game was my game of the year. Theres nothing to stop someone doing an alternative poll which doesnt use these rules, these are simply the rules that I use. As with previous years, if you feel that no PC game that you played this year is worthy of being your game of the year, it is allowed to say No Game/Nothing
Here are the rules :
#1 - Absolutely NO multiple game choices, ONE game, ONE game only...NO top 3's , no joint GOTY, no "honourable mentions" - ONE SINGLE GAME.
#2 - Must have been FULL released in the calendar year of 2024 (which means that yes, a game which was in Early Access pre-2024 but got its FULL release this year, IS allowed)
#3 - No titles still in Early Access
#4 - No DLCs - must be a main game release
#5 - Must be a PC game
#6 - If you somehow felt that you went 12 months without playing anything decent, it is allowed to say that no game at all was your best game of the year. (though maybe make a New Year Resolution to find a more rewarding hobby
)
GO !
And to get everyone started off, my GOTY is Satisfactory
