Great God Grove is game of the year is the long and short of it. I played more games in 2024, that’s the other thing.

And look, I liked a lot of the games I played this year. And maybe :The Longing: should be my game of the year because I really loved it a lot. It just has gravitas, you know? But :The Longing: is a game that came out in 2020 and Great God Grove came out this year, so let’s call it a tie.

One of my resolutions for 2024 was to play more games, not that I write down resolutions or anything, but that one at least came true. What can I say? I like video games. They are art, no matter what anyone says.

I played a bit on the Switch also….

HOLD UP, Roots of Pacha was played for the first time in 2024.

Roots of Pacha wins. I love it so much. And yes it is a 2023 game, but I don’t care. Love it.

Anyhoo, on the Switch my favorite of the year might be Islets and I may just be saying that because it was the last one I finished on Switch and I may just be saying that because of VERY SUSPICIOUS Tour Guide but it was charming.

Worst game of 2024? Hmmm…I don’t usually keep playing games I don’t like so this one is a little harder. Maybe [redacted]. On second thought, I don’t want to namedrop for that. Every game has something good about it, every game is worth something. Even the shitty ones, haha.

2024 was a good year for games for me, hopefully 2025 is more of the same!
