2024 recap

Sekiro

Holy shit this game might have the best combat ive ever expericned. Coming off of lies of p I was itching for more souls gameplay and sekiro delivered.

Astro Bot

Details... This game was made with so much love. From the sound design, playstion easter eggs, haptics on the controller, and bot camios this game put a smile on my face the entire time ive been playing. I love the coin buy station buying add ons for your rescued astro bots to play with. Gameplay is fun and the levels are short and sweet. I didnt want to blow through this game so took my time with it when I was in between other stuff. Each of the final world levels were great and so was each levels unique gameplay mechanic. Final level was also so sick reminded me of the xwing run on the death star but make it playstation theme. Playstation has found there new mascot with astro cant wait to see what they do with him next.... hopefully a psvr2 game. 10/10 game of the year no doubt

Nine Sols

Hopped in after beating blasphemous. Was tempted to run right into blasphemous 2 but didnt want to get burnt out and heard great things about this game. After liking blasphemous I wanted a similar but differnt game and this seems to be what I was feeling.The game was hyped as 2d sekiro and it lives up to that hype. Graphics and Art really pop on the deck and the gameplay is fast and fluid.Final boss is one of the best bosses in any game. so good

Destiny 2

Aperture Desk job

Fun quick game to showcase the steamdecks features.

Bloodborne + Old Hunters DLC

Gothic Cosmic Horror. What a dope ass world. The gamepaly is fast and fun.The only reason its not rated higher for me is its age and 30 fps. I really hope we get a remaster. Old hunters dlc hype lives up to its name. Some of the best bosses and locations in the game.

Alan Wake 2 Lake House DLC

GIVE ME CONTROL 2. What a tease. Scarier than base game as mentioned earlier in the year remedey is peak story telling and atmosphere. Their game universe pulls you in and gives you a reason to read every single note of paper or white board drawing. DLC was short and sweet but gave me a taste of control and a twisted but gripping story.

Balatro

Black Ops 6 Multiplayer / Zombies

Best cod multiplayer in years. Treyarch doesnt feel like its a souless corpoo shell of itself only trying to make a buckl. The game is fun, has character, and ZOMBIES IS BACK! cant wait for the yearly updates to this game it has a shot at being a classic.

Cod Zombies (infinite warfare + bo3)
