2024 Games played best to worst

Uh oh! Looks like I'm back on the backlog spiral again!

Even though all the bots and item servers being down, the core game still shines brightly after so many years.
Still a blast to play even after all the dodgy internet connections.
Those prime fights really gave me a good workout in the game and led to me loving it more.
Alright, this is even better than the first game, and apparently, the sequel is even better. Sign me up!
Sheer nonsensical chaotic fun in its purest form, and I love it for it.
Still the best non smash bros fighting game, and water is still wet.
WE GOTTA BELIEVE!
This is not an action-adventure like the original turnip boy; but it is a genre I love a lot more, and the world is still as fun and insane as before.
A fun and solid time, even if locking the golden ending behind literal 100% completion was cringe.
It was a legit surprise hit that hooked me with its premise and gameplay style. It's something I am going to chip away at in the background.
This is a certified childhood banger.
The real jewels were the DINNERS we made along the way. Pretty damn fun and a solid parody of the Phillips-CDI games.
Hey I didn't see any purple clad villains singing about how they learned from other supervillains with explosions here! What kind of hack fraud operation is going on here?!?

Oh well, the game is still good if on the easy side with some legit clever setups and payoffs in terms of story.
Personal biases are heavy here, I'll admit, but I'll be damned if this game still doesn't make me smile to this day.
This game came right the hell out of nowhere once I just expected it to be lost to the void of old abandoned Appstore games before iPhone 6, and I'm happy to see it back still in its fun silly glory!
Great, they added fear of isolation and that no one would understand you in the new update. That got me in the fee-OH HELL YEAH RAPUNZEL IS FINALLY HERE!
I'm SO CLOSE to loving these games. I just can't completely stomach the gameplay, especially with it being 60+ hours.
Congratulations Youtube funnyman Dunkey for creating this game! I thought it was decent, but then again I'm not part of the Metroidvania crowd this game was meant for.
Actually got a couple more modes that make it a bit interesting. Can’t wait for it to go offline like the other live service games.
Didn't expect to get this invested in it as I did. For the team's first 3D Celeste title, I kind of dug it.
NASB 1 but better. It's not as good as the worst Smash game, but it's able to be comparable to it for now.

NOW WHERE IS CHUCKIE CHAN?!?
What is up this year with surprise Rouge-likes?
Frye should have won with Saturday; prove me wrong.
Surprised seeing Nintendo release this on NSO, but hey, it's a fun and easy to learn, hard to master puzzle game; I'll take it!
Bold of Nintendo to release a 7/10 Mario game when we're begging for a Switch 2; it's still better than those Mario sports games on the Switch.

It's still a fun game; with new levels that are fun and challenging,and nice new graphics, it's a solid time that just misses out on the 8/10 range due to it removing the scoring for perfect aspect. The Time Attack mode was cool though.
I need to get some friends to fully experience these multiplayer-only games...
There, I played it to justify it finally being added to NSO.
For a rage game, it manages to be fun. Take notes Getting Over It.
Johnny got his gun and is aiming it at you but doesn't realize it's a dud round.
For a silly trombone music game, it's a fun time that doesn't take itself seriously at all.
Once again, childhood nostalgia is playing a big role here, but it's still a fun time.
"OH NO, IS MARIO LE MISSING?!?"

No, he's there in the credits in Mario Club; his name is right there, keep up.

Aside from that, the game is a cute and charming time. Definitely won't go through it again, and think it's better when on a sale, but still, harmless at worst, and fun at best.
Balan Day 4/20 BAYBEE! It's underrated; I will fight Bumbles McFumbles for the title of Balan's strongest soldier!
Honestly, the constant jumping was something I liked as it made it stand out from the crowd of other indie platform fighters. It's just that there is no momentum behind this game now.
Definitely deserves to slap harder than it is right now.
A cute and charming puzzle game that I was happy to say I could get on my Wii U to give it some more use.
A bit more split than I would have liked to be on it with the camera and controls not being the best for me, but still being manageable. Combat is a chore that should be avoided, but the platforming is fun and charming enough to be worth the $20 purcha-oh, wait...$30 may be a bit too steep for this...
Cute, but Little Monster Private Eye "The Smelly Mystery" is still better.
The pieces are here for something truly special, but it goes too overboard in trying to be a tough-as-nails game. Only hardcore spectacle fighters would enjoy this.
I can tell there is a lot of effort and charm in the game, but I also don't have 100+ hours to explore a game with a gameplay style I don't really care for.
The awkward middle child that has some good things about it but still is worst in the Dream Land Trilogy.
Girlfriend comforting Ultimate Sackboy: Babe come on, you don't need to worry about the other guy.

The other guy he's worried about:
What a reck. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a remaster for it in the future.
It's decent enough, but I'm just not a Zelda guy still, sadly. At least I gave it a try.
I feel like I'm going crazy; a game like this, being so bright, unique, and bombastic SHOULD be my jam, but I just can't like it as much as everyone else. The gameplay is fine, but nothing that can get me that invested into it. The writing, personally, was the worst part, and Chai was even more obnoxious than I thought he was before. Sorry, but this wasn't for me I guess.

Also, Korsica still isn't hot.
I unlocked funny TV man.
Feels like going all in on a two pair.
The gameplay doesn't take long at all to feel like you're just going through the motions. This is a shame, because the stuff around the gameplay, like the characters, is pretty charming.
More of a Skullgirls fan I guess.
I keep forgetting about this game even though there is nothing truly wrong with it. It's just not as grand as I feel like it thinks it is.
"Let me get this straight. You think Pokémon SV is better optimized and has better gameplay than Palworld?"
"I do. And I'm tired of pretending it doesn't."

The base game itself is fine, but damn this game can run slow as all hell at times with textures not properly loaded in.
I know this game has a crowd; it's just not a crowd I'm a part of.
Alright, I could understand the Wii game getting a different version, but what did the PS3 do to get the PSP version?
What the car but not mid
A fun and unique gimmick at first but repetitive missions and gameplay soon come forth.
I just played it for a bit and I already forgot about it.
It's inoffensively bland, which is the worst fate for any troll game.
Not outright tearable.
Turns out isn't not actually that "coo".
Can't really justify getting excited over the full game from this bland demo. It's the virgin Indigo Park to the Chad Animal Well of Youtuber-aided video games.
Can't wait for the ripoff of this ripoff; Trip guys.
At least it's better than Overwatch 2.
Where the hell did all the promise go?
I dipped the second I saw that the aim control was mapped to the face buttons.
Are you sure it wasn't removed because it was bland?
I did have it higher up a BIT because at least the hero mastery stages add something, but than Season 9 happened and holy shit it's awful.
The DWTD series sold out more than the blood all the characters bleed out.
Ok, realistically, this game is more of an 8/10 for casual players. The 1/10 experience comes from those trying to 106% this fucking monster, and even then it probably would have just been a 5/10 game. However, the game had an error and caused it to reset when trying to get into Shipping Error, and that ended up causing me to lose around 2/3's to 3/4's of my progress to 106% completion. Deleted this game straight off my PS5 for that stunt. I never want to see it again.
