Hello everyone. Hope everyone had a good christmas season. Since this is the final Gaming Sunday of 2024 I thought we’d all share our favorite games that we played in 2024, either one’s that came out this year or others. I played a grand total of one (1) 2024 release, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, which i thought was a fantastic expansion to Elden Ring. My favorite game that I played in 2024 however is Baldur’s Gate 3. As someone who has never touched DnD or anything related to it I found it easy to slip into thanks to a great cast of characters and combat that rewards experimentation. I hope everyone has a good start to their new year 🫡🫡🫡

    Balatro was pretty fun, wondering what the creator is gonna do next after the game, assuming they dont just retire of off Balatro.

    Other than that I don’t really have much, all the AAA games I legally obtained were just mediocre, like Cities Skylines 2, just being too car brained and entirely Usian city design focused. Maybe I’ll try out that Soviet city builder but it seems a little too complicated for me

    Might pick up Hades 2 sometime next year if it has a 1.0 release, as it stands I don’t want to play games unfinished as I have a hatred of beta testing games in steam “early-access” wasting my time

      I will say, I almost never encounter bugs in Hades 2 EA. They must have a robust playtesting department that updates go through before public release. Totally valid to wait for content completeness, though.
