~~ I Never Quite Realized... How Beautiful This World Is ~~
And here goes my

GAME OF THE YEAR: Lorelei and the Laser Eyes.

One of the best puzzle games ever made. Made it into my top3 puzzle games EVER.

How many puzzles do you want? Well this has even more. And all of them different, original.

The story, the atmosphere, the music...👌

Number #2

Astro Bot.

The GOTY! Though not my GOTY. By a little.

It's an amazing wholesome platforming game, with tons of great references.

I really missed the Square Enix presence. It could have been so cool seeing anything from Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy there T.T

Number #3

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

A big surprise.

It's more like a puzzle game where you have to guess which summonable item could help you better in each room.

It's cute and music is nice. And being Zelda is so cool.

Number #4

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Not as good as it should be, because I don't like open-world games, and I don't like all the repetitive filler stuff

Also the plot goes a bit crazy with timelines

But towns are awesome, and so is music, and visuals

And it's Final Fantasy!

Number #5

Another Crab's Treasure

It's Dark Souls but it's a joke, you are a crabby, and your weapons and armors are the human trash you find under the sea.

I thought this was going to be a stupid game but in fact is an awesome super enjoyable underwater adventure

Number #6

Animal Well

One of the most mesmerizing games of 2024.

The mistery, the secrets, the surprise...

And all those easters eggs to find (literally).

It's so different, so interesting... 😍

Number #7

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

It's like Uncharted but with less gunshots and more punches.
And in first-person view. Which is a total letdown.

But it is so well made and it really has the adventure vibes.

Number #8

Silent Hill 2 Remake

I'm not really into Survival Horror games, it's not the kind of gameplay I enjoy most, but SH2 Remake is such a solid game made with a lot of love and attention to detail.

The atmosphere it achieves, is unmatched 👌

Number #9

Little Kitty Big City

You are a Little Kitty in a Big City and you have to help Daddy Duck to find his naughty ducklings.

Why isn't this in everyone's list of best games of the year, I cannot comprehend.

Like, seriously, game's fun and wholesome.

Number #10

NEVA

It was kind of a disappointemnt because I really like Gris and I guess my expectations were just too high for this.

Anyway, it's a beautiful game, with nice music and some sweet collectibles.

And that's it for the honorable mentions.

Now, without further ado, let’s dive into the top 10 best games of the year:
December 28, 2024 at 3:00 PM
Honorable mention #3:

No Rest For The Wicked

Not in the top10 because: Early Access

Everything is an early access nowadays. Somebody stop this please. Stop!!!!

The game looks really promising but there's a lot of stuff to fix.

And I can't stand weapon durability 🫠😭☠️.

Honorable mention #2:

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

Not in the top10 because: It's a DLC 👀👀👀.

Otherwise, it would be my top1.

Although I hated that, again, 60% of the map was an empty wasteland. Gorgeous, but empty. Or crammed with dragons, which is worse.

Goddamn.
December 28, 2024 at 2:42 PM
Honorable mention #1:

Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail

Not in the top10 because: It's an expansion.

Not as good as the previous expansions, because that was not possible and bc Dawntrail serves as the introduction to a new story.

Nevertheless, it has been just as enjoyable 🥰.

In total, I've played 125 games, more than any other year before. What a journey it has been!

In fact, I played so hard that I don't have many stuff left for 2025🤡
But we'll find something 4 sure!

Before diving into the TOP 10 of 2024, I'd like to make a few honorable mentions:

TOP10 GAMES 2024

As the year comes to an end, it's time once again to look back and share the greatest gaming surprises of 2024.

It has been an incredible year, not just because of new releases but also because I've played (and replayed) a ton of amazing older games.

I'll leave my steam friend code here in case anyone would like to share the videogame screenshot timeline with me :D

Hello world.

I'm seeking shelter here as I flee from terminally ill Twitter.

I mostly focus on playing video games and taking pretty screenshots of my favorites on Steam.

That is, when I'm not adulting. Which unfortunately, does not happen as much as I'd like.

Here, have a piece of my heart:
