The original Silent Hill 2 is my favorite video game of all time and I was absolutely blown away by the remake. Well done, Bloober Team. I'm also hoping that this is the beginning of Konami's redemption arc.
Prince of Persia the Lost Crown would have been much more commercially successful had Ubisoft released it on Steam initially. I bought it in the Epic store at launch and have played it on my SteamDeck through kludges since then (I ought to just buy it on Steam, but keep buying other games). The game is incredible, if a little bit overly difficult. I have enjoyed all of my time spent with it. It is perfect for the SteamDeck.
I gotta give a shoutout to Still Wakes The Deep. It's an amazing, albeit short, horror experience with a cool setting on an oil rig. The atmosphere is awesome and the story fairly memorable. Fro fans of movies like John Carpenter's The Thing or games like Soma, I highly recommend.

I havnt put wukong in it because im not into souls type games so i hsvnt picked it up because i am just a casual. But so far i loving these games ❤ its been a amazing year. I missed out on yakuza btw but im gonna pick up the next one in januray 2025. I know my list is odd and not to your liking guys but this is what i played this year and liked as a 28 year old gamer. Edit this as I have played wukang and I sold it after chapter 3. I don't have time to learn a mechanic where I smash my head agaijts. Wall for hours this ain't me I tried game hated every aspect of it not my type of game I hate souls games and for anyone who thinks it's not a souls game it is. Trust me these bosses are edler ring on steroids it is very not fun to die and people are silly. Also please don't tell me to play souls type games I never will I learned all mechanics searched hours got to chapter 3. I even looked up final boss on sold it. Someone said its not brutal to where you don't wanna play it. Why would I wanna play a game stuck at a boss for 6 hours indont feel even satisfied beating a boss after thst long wukang really needs to advertise itself as a souls game what a joke of a game really bad not fun and I gave up.. get good no ty there's no reward in get good
A friendly suggestion. Give Black Myth Wukong a shot. I’m not a huge fan of the souls like games myself. I enjoyed black myth Wukong! I’m on my second play through now. Is it challenging yes! But it’s not brutal to where you don’t even want to play it anymore.
Looking forward to FF VII Rebirth on PC! Playing Indiana Jones right now, along with Silent Hill 2. Elden Ring continues to be epic. Some on the list have played while planning to play SW Outlaws and maybe Space Marine 2 in 2025. From 2025 - MGS ... eagerly awaiting.
Like.. really though? Do you not get to play very many games? It's just the first game but prettier, and just slightly worse in all other aspects. It's an okay game, but I have a hard time imagining it being anybody's top game.
@ledumpsterfire6474 Really, yes. And that's because it is so different to most other games nowadays. It doesn't want to be this and that, it is its own experience. It's just awesome, imo. Oh, and I have enough games and I play games for over 34 years now.
Amazing list, 100 percent agree, elden ring, black myth wukong, metaphor and vii rebirth are my favourites, I would also include persona 3 reload and stellar blade
Rebirth is my personal game of the year slightly edging out Wukong. I played Astro bot and it was fun but I def don’t think it should have been GOTY but just my personal opinion
I think while Astro bot was not my kinda game , my wife, kids loved it , simple , pretty , fun…it had no DLC pass to buy &it returned to a simpler time ! I think that’s why it won
@@cgray8267agree, it was certainly a fun game but just felt like a different type of Mario 3D platformer. I don’t think it did anything crazy or new was just a soild 8-10 hour experience
I think GotY is a title for a game that went that extra mile, and Rebirth did just that. And on so many things. Its so much more then just a regular game. There were only few small gripes, but 1. the ammount of times the game went above and beyond (more than a 10). More than makes up for it. 2. Us OGs hold the original FF7 from 97 in such high regard. We are bound to be critical as soon as the smallest detail isnt correct. Rebirth my GotY!
Stellar Blade got hurt by the controversy, it’s a solid game. The set designs are gorgeous and we got good parrying and dodge mechanics out of it. Put any other skin on the character and it would have been better received but, no one would have heard about it in a sea of 1,000,000 games. They had to make it stand out so they used the ubercute girl trope but ultimately, it hurt a great game imo.
There are plenty of skins in that game that are not revealing and so it's all up to the player. It's a shame that people let that get in the way because the game plays so well that it is my game of the year.
I enjoyed Stellar Blade but ... not loved it. The combat wasn't as satisfying and intense as in Sekiro or Black Myth and the story wasn't as deep and brillant as in Nier ...
I can't help but notice that both Sparking Zero and Sonic X Shadow Generations both got 8 and are on the list, BUT Life is Strange 4 Double Exposure has a 9 rating but is NOT included, did you changed your mind about the rating or what?
Good list and rankings. This list makes me question IGNs even more. Metaphor as their GOTY is just wild after FF, Black Myth Wukong, Indiana Jones, Stalker 2, etc
I would agree if it wasn’t so littered with bugs. I’ve had half a dozen quests I can’t even complete because of bugs let alone crashes. It sucks because when it’s working right it’s incredible.
I liked Starfield well enough. But it's so far from #1 it's not even funny. Even Farming Simulator is above Starfield, and that's my "play until I'm tired when I can't sleep" game lol
Worst nominees For me Black Myth Wukong is at 1 winner . BMWK should be Game of the Century. Best ever . No game can touch BMWK . Every one knows how amazing this game is . Deep inside ya all know
My goty so far: Rise of the ronin My other favorite games: Sucide Squad kills the Justice League. I'm 50 50 on the game, Stellar Blade I thought was decent, I love Star Wars Outlaws it got unnecessary hate, call of duty black ops 6 I was 50 50 on the campaign, super mario party jamboree and so far mario and luigi brothership
Stalker 2 Indiana Jones the great cycle hellblade 2 Neva dragon age veilguard astro bot silent hill 2 remake stellar blade black myth wo Kong yakuza infinite wealth dragon dogna 2 Star wars outlaws final fantasy 7 rebirth quite place Road ahead alone the dark dragon quest 3 remake for me
Same apart from stalker 2 and wukong. Both to difficult for me but your a pro if you completed wukang that game was way to hard sold it after chapter 3 for lego and metamoprhis
You made my day with silent hill 2, I couldn't believe how it didn't get any awards, thank you
Hellblade 2 is the best 6 hour youtube video i have watched with headphones
Stellar Blade getting robbed out here
no stellar blade is crazy
that game is garbage
It’s not really that crazy lmao
Best game this year for me , and i played all the heavy hitters

Silent hill 2??? Much respect!!
Mine is black myth wukong but silent hill 2 was outstanding
prince of persia was underrated

Yeah, it deserved Hellblade's spot tbh. That game was middling to its core.
You should check out 'Everybody's Gone to the Rapture' from the Chinese Room developer. Different vibe than SWTD but equally worthy of attention imo.

Metaphor at #10 and Balatro outside the Top 30 are definitely interesting choices
Yeah, a generic Japanese RPG doesn't belong in the Top 10 and a boring card game doesn't belong anywhere near the Top 30.
@Shane3125 lol

Totally agree with number 1
Rebirth is my game of the year
Why you didn't add metaphor gameplay? because of you don't have your own gameplay videos?
Noticed that too and thought that it was strange

Cope
@@earlmoore7003 nobody is coping? God this why video game fans get a bad rap with weirdos like you

Rebirth my GotY!
Putting a 20 year old remake that adds the bare minimum aside from a graphics upgrade as your number 1 is a bold move lol
It did WAY more than the bare minimum. It's also my personal GOTY as well
Tell us you haven't played it without telling us
you obviously haven’t played it

We all know why Stellar Blade isn't on here. And here I was giving them props for having SH2 #1. What a joke.

Interesting list 👍
Stalker 2. 17th ??? Outrageous. It should at least be top 10
I would agree if it wasn’t so littered with bugs. I’ve had half a dozen quests I can’t even complete because of bugs let alone crashes. It sucks because when it’s working right it’s incredible.
@ agreed. Just have to wait maybe 6 months
Best list I have seen so far ( my top 3 are exactly the same) and those 3 games gave me the best time I have had in the long year
No Balatro is wild
Stellar Blade. If Eve was a dog the game would have gotten more love.
haven't even played Balatro yet and can't believe no Balatro
Assassins Creed Shadows is doing a fantastic job marketing Ghost of Tsushima.
I gonna buy both so it's a win win for me
They lost me at Senua's Saga Hellblade 2. That game truly sucked.
I personally loved the gameplay you picked for Metaphor Refantazio. (SH2 was also my GOTY i love it!!)
Hellblade 2 is amazing. It’s my favorite game of 2024.
Sounds like the speak and spells batteries need changing when he says "number 3" at 21:42
Astro bot was my game of the year. 🎶I am astro bot🎵
I think Still Wakes the Deep was a great game, worth mentioning, Black Ops 6 as well
💚
Xbox is #1 console.
Starfield is #1 game.
💚
Its a decent game tbf I liked it but I havnt gone back to it after main story
I liked Starfield well enough. But it's so far from #1 it's not even funny. Even Farming Simulator is above Starfield, and that's my "play until I'm tired when I can't sleep" game lol
These damn lists cost me a fortune every year
Is it just me or does the narration sound AI? At times it feels very choppy.
My GOTY: Stellar Blade
As one who actually played Hellblade 2 it doesn’t belong on this list, a technical marvel but that’s where it stops.
23:05 I’m playing Final Fantasy 7 rebirth right now
No Wukong is crazy
Worst nominees
For me Black Myth Wukong is at 1 winner . BMWK should be Game of the Century.
Best ever . No game can touch BMWK .
Every one knows how amazing this game is . Deep inside ya all know
No chapters? No thanks. Buh-bye.
So happy to see silent hill 2 love
SIlent Hill 2 ❤
Where's Stellar Blade?
Hellblade being on here at all is crazy enough but no Stellar Blade is OUTRAGEOUS to me
Still no timestamps !!
Stellar Blade,Palworld ??!!

My other favorite games: Sucide Squad kills the Justice League. I'm 50 50 on the game, Stellar Blade I thought was decent, I love Star Wars Outlaws it got unnecessary hate, call of duty black ops 6 I was 50 50 on the campaign, super mario party jamboree and so far mario and luigi brothership
I agree 100 percent with you how is Mario and Luigi ? Wanted to get it at launch but decided to get other games
@alexgamez1872 it's so far amazing, and I'm 50 hours in and still not done with the game or story
Can't agree button
No time stamps? Peaceeeee
Seriously ? You ran out of time to play stellar blade ?
Lol. You guys are the same clowns who gave Dragon Age a positive review.
Metaphor getting done dirty, top 5, easy
Silent Hill 2??? 😂 Sorry, Ive got to unsubscribe from you guys for that one
Umm, Stellar Blade? Balatro? Sheesh!
Timestamps please ❤
Silent Hill 2 was near perfect for me. My persona GOTY
Lost me at number 30. 🗑️ list
Path of Exile 2 for me. It’s not even close
Nine sold should be #2
I watched all that for a Remake to win?!🤦
Was waiting and waiting to see Balatro. Instead I saw a bunch of remakes and DLCs lol okay.
My game of the year is lollipop chainsaw repop
its coming to a point yall repeating the same game different title for the video
and too lazy to include time stamps for almost 30 minutes long video ... every freakin' time
Hellblade 2 is my game of the year you can't really tell the difference between the cutscene and the gameplay
My GOTY was Astro Bot.
metaphor at number 10
