Promise Mascot Agency - No idea what my expectations were for this, but it surpassed them. It's so moreish. Every time I finished something, I stumbled straight into something else.
Two Point Museum - This was the right level of building fidelity for me. The tick rate of gameplay is perfect too.

Anyway, at least Oscar's a legend and the McLarens are giving us a good title fight.

I really feel it would be beneficial to have a sensor with a light or sound warning once a car is "alongside".
Removes any excuse for the driver and gives a clear indication for stewards to consistently refer to.
Maybe this is impossible in practise? No idea, but it works great in virtual racing.

No penalty is outrageous. Not investigating if the driver gives up the position is such an idiotic rule.
Saved 3 laps of Albon being behind him, gained the team a position and cost Albon a shot at the podium.
Just make drivers leave room when cars are alongside, I promise you racing will improve.

Lastly, my favourite game of the year was Star Wars Outlaws.
As a fan of Star Wars and im-sims this game was made for me. I've never played something that felt so authentically Star Wars. Then it built on that by giving me lots of systems to play with, perfect.
To top it off, it looks phenomenal!

There's also things I'm looking forward to playing more in 2025.
Prince of Persia - Great combat and loved the map.
Astro Bot - I loved playroom and playing this over Christmas has been a delight.
Metaphor - Taken some time to get into, but hit its stride now.
Caves of Qud - Best kind of weird.

There was a bunch of other great stuff too:
Mouthwashing - Great storytelling.
Balatro - What else needs saying!
Thank Goodness You're Here - Classic British humour.
Duck Detective - Fun, low stakes mystery.

Animal Well was probably my favourite game in the first half of 2024.
The way you can combine simple abilities to traverse the world is brilliant. It also captures a great sense of exploration and wonder, all without overstaying it's welcome.
