Alright as nobody wants to create this thread apparently I will half-butt it.
Introduction
As 2024 comes to a close, it's time to celebrate the incredible games that defined the year! From groundbreaking remakes of washed-up IPs to famous franchises that reached new lows, this year has given us plenty of unforgettable gaming moments. Whether you were swept away by jaw-dropping visuals, gripping arguments in our current culture war, or derivative gameplay mechanics, there's no doubt that 2024 was a stellar year for g*mers everywhere. And if you didn't care about the highs, what about the lows? Sony even managed to one-down Suicide Squad with Concord as the biggest failure of the year, Ubisoft became an even bigger laughing stock while Nintendo still didn't release the Switch 2 and instead focused on bringing down emulators while seething about Palworld's success. I'd say something derogatory about Xbox too but honestly there's not even anything to even frick up. Whatever, the year was overshadowed by the sheer endless DEI cultural war and I'm just so tired. In fact, every game should either look like Scarlet Blade or Nethack.

In this thread, we're asking you to share your picks for Game of the Year! What game captured your heart or dominated your playtime? Was it a AAA blockbuster, an indie masterpiece, or something entirely unexpected?
Did you finally find the right gacha to jerk off too?
Did you use the year to work on your backlog instead?
Did you even play a single game released in 2024 instead of depressingly queuing up your favourite endless game that you don't even like?
2024 was one of the better years in the past decade with many genuinely fantastic titles - and 2025 looks even better. Gaming is le saved - regardless if woke is le devil or not.
I unironically love these pictures, same with non-buynary

2023 - Baldur's Gate 3

Releases
Here's a short look at some of the most trending releases of 2024:
But it wouldn't make sense to include all of them on the list, r-right? That's why I went out of my way and queried rdrama's data base to find the 20 (or so) most mentioned games released in 2024 on this site. Anything goes too! DLC, Mod, Remake, Release, Early Access? I don't care. Isn't that just amazing? Anyway, here are the nominations:

It's Rise of the Ronin hands down, not close, if you disagree you either didn't play it or are mentally r-slurred.
