There have been so many games released this year that it can be hard to keep track of…or maybe you just don’t want to remember them at all.

I’m aware it’s not 2025 yet, but hear me out. The only true candidates for GOTY so far are Rise of the Ronin, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and the final boss of video games, the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. With few options to choose from this year, it may be time to evaluate 2024’s video game releases, and look back at what we’ve played (and forgotten) along the way.
