Back again to see if anything has changed and of course include more titles. Not including DLC, expansions, or titles not released this year.

For me:

Before = Stellar Blade
Now = Astro Bot

What's yours?

 

[GymWolf]

Probably helldivers 2, but there are some games coming out at the end of the year so it's too early to say.

 

[acidagfc]

Balatro and nothing else is even close.

 

[FeralEcho]

Stellar Blade for me,but I haven't played Astrobot yet. It might change once I play that.

 

[Fake]

Astro Fucking Bot and Stellar Blade.

 

[RoboFu]

I dont see zelda on that list??????

 

[R6Rider]

I dont see zelda on that list??????

Oh shit! I'll add it.

 

[ssringo]

Stellar Blade remains my frontrunner and I don't see any other releases this year that could unseat it. Other contenders earlier this year were good but disappointing.

 

[XXL]

Astro Bot
Final Fantasy Rebirth
Subside

 

[Mortisfacio]

Probably Helldivers 2, but I hope there's some gems that come out before years end. There's not a single game on this list I'll return to or care about in 6-12 months. That 2023 release slate really spoiled me when I went from not expecting to touch BG3 to it being one of the best games I've played in years.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Basically Balatro and AstroBot.

Special mention to Yakuza Infinite Wealth, Star Wars Outlaws, Zelda Echoes of Wisdom and Dragons Dogma 2

 

[Kurotri]

Persona 3 Reload
Yakuza and Shadow of the Erdtree were also fantastic

Curious if Metaphor can dethrone P3R for me, I have high hopes

 

[keefged4]

LAD infinite wealth all day long

 

[tommib]

Rise of the Ronin.

Followed by Helldivers 2 and Astrobot.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Of the ones released this year, Tekken 8 is in the lead. A close second is Alone In The Dark. Hoping for more contenders.

Alone in the Dark is underrated. I haven't finished it, but really enjoyed it so far.

 

[LordBlodgett]

I haven't played more than half of these games yet. Problem of being a cheap gamer and only buying very particular games day one. For me that means that Yakuza LAD: Infinite Wealth is it. Best game I've played this year outside of BG3.

 

[Robb]

Balatro.

Still playing through the new Zelda, very fun, but it's not really blowing me away.

Hoping the new Mario & Luigi game in November is a return to form. That might have a shot for me.

If I had played Astro Bot I'm certain that'd blow the rest out of the water for me though.

 

[analog_future]

You've got shit like Rise of the Ronin in your poll but not Hellblade II?

 

[R6Rider]

[ap_puff]

FF7R, astro bot made a solid run for the crown but its still gonna be the goat of jrpgs for me

 

[Calverz]

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Thought it was great. Space Marine 2 was fun but pop edges it for me. I'm hoping silent hill 2 or Indy will be more enjoyable though.

 

[R6Rider]

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Playing this right now after finishing Metroid Dread.

Really good so far.

 

[Generic]

Chapter 5 Season 3 of Fortnite. It was the best Mad Max game ever.

 

[proandrad]

Where monkey?

 

[Sanepar]

Since I'm playing Ragnarok now for the first and it released on pc this year. Ragnarok for me. It is better than the first on everything.

 

[dreamstation]

Astro Bot for me.

 

[R6Rider]

Where monkey?

Monkey added. I don't know how I missed this one.

 

[SF Kosmo]

As of right now, it's Astro Bot, but Metaphor: Refantazio is just around the corner.

 

[Danjin44]

This year is still not done but so far I still go with Unicorn Overlord.

 

[RetroGamingUK]

Either AstroBot or Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth by far.

Saying that, I've probably spent the most hours on Tekken 8.

 

[Mossybrew]

This has been a weird year. Played some good games but absolutely nothing stands out as a clear GOTY. Still a couple months left to be surprised though.

 

[amigastar]

Sins of a Solar Empire II

 

[BennyBlanco]

Tekken 8 and Balatro are the ones I keep coming back to. Wukong is great as well.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Helldivers 2 still, for me.

Have yet to dive into Astro Bot, but will before the end of the year.

 

[Romulus]

Space Marine 2 so far, but I'm wondering what my answer will be after this month. Batman is coming.

 

[12Goblins]

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Stellar Blade, Astro Bot and Outcast A New Beginning hooked me the most this year. Astro Bot FTW

 

[NahaNago]

Right now it is black myth wukong. I'lll be beating astro bot this week so maybe it will change. I do feel like Stellar Blade was an overall better game than Wukong but the bosses, scenery visuals, and cutscenes are better in wukong plus you have more enemy variety.

 

[Topher]

Astro Bot. It isn't even close for me at this point

 

[Fbh]

The only 2024 games I've played this year have been Infinite Wealth, Balatro and Unicorn Overlord.
Out of the 3 I'd probably go with Infinite Wealth, though all 3 were good.

 

[Ogbert]

Very fucking good game.

Runs well on Steam Deck too.

 

[Pelao]

Shadow of the Erdtree.

 

[Markio128]

Astrobot and Stellar Blade are both awesome, but I'd have to choose FF7:Rebirth as my GOTY. It's been a decent year so far, and I'm hoping that SH2 finishes the year off well. Horizon LEGO could become a guilty pleasure too.

 

[Dafegamer]

ASTRO BOT by far. Haven't played FFVII Rebirth yet, and won't until next Year. Only Zelda could give ASTRO BOT a run for it's money to me.

 

[Bernardougf]

Hellblade 2 third playthrough should be on that list...

 

[Sooner]

Definitely Rebirth. Astro Bot was really good though.

 

[yogaflame]

Stellar blade for me. Not just because of beautiful protagonist but also great combat and action, and great level design and graphics and interesting story and lore.

 

[TropicanaTwista]

The correct answer is still balatro but it's absolutely hilarious to me out of all the doom and gloom about Sony in this forum the last couple months. The top 3 games voted for at the moment of this post are all exclusive to PS5.

 

[adamsapple]

Probably Dragons Dogma 2 for me
