Don’t get us wrong, but 2023 was truly unforgettable. We’ve recently acquired the latest instalments in the esteemed Nintendo franchises, The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario. As the cryogenic chambers opened, Armored Core and Baldur’s Gate emerged, their systems slowly rebooting after a long period of dormancy. Alan Wake emerged from a crypt of forgotten video game plots, as if his story had never unfolded. While 2023 marked an unforgettable year for legendary brands, it lacked the surprise factor that typically defines such a landmark period. Few could have predicted the phenomenal success of Nintendo, FromSoftware, and Capcom’s collaborative efforts.
2024, however, has been unpredictable!
Our favorite video games feature a typing-based dungeon crawler, a surprisingly uncommon sequel that takes a vastly different approach to its underplayed predecessor, as well as a massive RPG where a reformed yakuza revamps Animal Crossing by incorporating perversion and waste management.
For twelve dedicated months, we – the aficionados, the connoisseurs, the true enthusiasts – revel in the thrill of witnessing that coveted “7/10” rating at the bottom of an evaluation, our senses heightened as pores tingle and pupils dilate with excitement. Let them have it – that’s precisely what they need: a jarring, disorienting, and irreverent mashup that defies convention and assaults their senses.
While it may take a decade for another year as exceptional as 2023 to come around, we’re not complaining. In an industry where a well-established property is released every thirty days, there exists a space to pioneer the unexplored, celebrate the unconventional, and revel in the unexpected.
Here are the video games listed in reverse chronological order, with the newest releases appearing first? Although we originally focused solely on last year’s top titles, our wrap-up also features a concise section highlighting late-2023 releases that we hadn’t had the opportunity to consider in our annual “best of” compilation. Our latest updates feature a comprehensive range of innovative tools, including enhanced security, advanced analytics, streamlined workflows, expanded collaboration capabilities, intuitive user interfaces, real-time feedback mechanisms, customized reporting options, automated task management, seamless integrations, robust data visualization, and AI-powered insights.
