A gamer reveals his top 10 favorite games of the year, highlighting a 2024 release and discussing the pros of playing games a few years after their initial launch.
A reader accepts that he can’t keep up with every new release and reveals his favourite games of the year, the oldest of which came out in 2015. I realised long ago that trying to keep up with the huge number of new games released every year wasn’t a battle I could win, so for the last decade or so I’ve been quite happy to be a few years behind when it comes to gaming.
Not only does it save me money, but you can also ensure you get the best possible experience with bugs having been patched and DLC often available. The only downside is that I can’t really take part in any polls or discussions about game of the year. So, as an alternative, here are the top 10 games I’ve played this year. 10. Tactical Breach Wizards (2024) Tactical Breach Wizards is an engrossing turn-based tactics game with fun strategic gameplay, a genuinely humorous script and memorable characters. One of only three titles released in 2024 that I played this year, this is cracking little game that can be purchased for less than £15 on Steam. 9. Super Mario Bros. Wonder (2023) Nintendo’s mainline Mario games have almost universally been of a very high standard, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder is no exception. The controls are incredibly precise and the levels full of the sort of variety and imagination you’d expect. Personally, I do still prefer Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, but if you’re a fan of Nintendo and/or 2D platformers this is a must play. 8. Cyberpunk 2077 (2020) I avoided Cyberpunk at launch for obvious reasons and then just pretty much forget about it until the DLC started to be advertised. Even with most of the bugs fixed it’s still not a perfect game by any means, but the detailed game world and excellent combat, that compliments the interesting and well written main and side missions, make it easy to ignore any minor issues and spend hours exploring Night Cit
