2024 has been an exhilarating year for gaming. We've been treated to groundbreaking AAA games, splendid indie titles, and follow-ups to some big-time hits. There was also a sort of liberalisation in the online shooter space in the sense that a lot of them went cross-platform, allowing people to enjoy them notwithstanding the platform. Meanwhile, microtransactions were still their evil selves, but some things just don't change, do they? Read on to find out what we thought were the best video games of 2024.
HELLDIVERS 2
With its fresh twist on tactical shooting gameplay, Helldivers 2 cemented its spot on this list in February itself. Its intense, high-stakes alien battles on a variety of hostile planets transport you into a truly unique world. Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, this title adds depth to its gameplay through a strategic layer that requires teamwork, precise communication, and careful planning. Helldivers 2 was released simultaneously for PC and PS5 and featured cross-play from day one. It's no wonder that it was PlayStation's fastest-selling title of all time, surpassing 12 million units within 12 weeks of its release.
DRAGON'S DOGMA 2
The first Dragon's Dogma, which came out in 2012, featured mindblowing RPG gameplay but fell short on the visuals front. Its sequel solved that second aspect and doubled down on the gameplay to deliver one of the most enjoyable games of 2024. The game's spirit lies in its distinct, at times hilarious, lore and its open world that's designed to surprise you every step of the way. In many ways, it plays like a Souls-like game, but it can't be called one outright. Dragon's Dogma 2 is an absolute delight, so go ahead and play it right away in case you've been holding off on it.
