I’m really happy with how many games I voted for This year’s admission calendarAt least it ensures that I’m in close contact and I haven’t given up at least fifty percent of my playing time in 2024 to a late start. Elden ring An obsession. The thing is, I can present you my almost made-up selections without malice or bitterness, rather than my colleagues who are not so much on the main list. Nyehova.
Echo Point Nova
We all right people understand, the best FPSes are the ones that let you go faster, and consistently faster in 2024. Echo Point Nova It was there to fill the action-shooter hole in my heart – one of them Fall of Clans 3: Rivals He just punched out.
Your primary tools for exploring Echo Point Nova’s sprawling sky islands are an anti-friction hoverboard and a free-tossing grappling hook, and they’re built for battle, often with spectacular results. Battlegrounds are filled with ramps to jump on and structures to swing around, making even the lightest person feel incredibly acrobatic with a mock gun. The challenge isn’t being fast on the lot, it’s getting your shot through the air at 70 mph.
This efficiency applies to some extent. The bad guys have a major numbers advantage and you can only deal with a few attacks yourself, so slowing down is inviting death. Still, there’s never a sense of heavy-handed pushing by a game designer. The rings that slide around the enemies are too much for that.
Little Kitty, Big City
Little Kitty, Big City A real cat is an impersonator. Maybe not growing photogenic dingleberries so you can sleep sixteen hours a day and have your husband pick them later. But it’s nice to set up a compact open world inside, and let cats indulge in all the whims of a pet with this kind of behavior: fighting over things, squabbling in places you shouldn’t be, anyone but the experimenter coming through gaps. It’s so wide that a cat can see. You could say these are the things we do when we play third-person adventure games anyway, so it’s especially fitting to play as an animal with such a character in its walnut-sized brain.
On that note, this game was clearly developed by people who know cats, rather than their main connection to them being Reddit memes. It’s important that, while Little Kitty, Big City occasionally flirts with “my man” Internet idiocy, it’s ultimately a more sincere celebration of these strange creatures and the joy they can bring into our homes. Even when you confuse little holes in the process. Mine, for example, spent this morning tracking shower water all over the living room, then took a short nap on a throw sheet. Not even a foot away Just like the padded, purpose-built cat bed we bought her yesterday. And any of them could easily form the basis of a Little Kitty, Big City side quest.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2
if so Darktide It’s the best modern game to convey the bleakness of 40k. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marines 2 It is the best to convey the scale. As a head-to-toe drone super-assassin in blueberry power armor, Space Marine 2’s towering, ornately detailed environments and sophisticated battle scenes are quick to remind you of the impossible enormity of Infinity War. .
Still, even if you’re just a Space Marine-sized cog in a galaxy-sized meat grinder, you can always get into some cracking bits of bugs. The subsequent switch to multiple enemy forces takes away the satisfaction of a single-target shootout, but replaces it with close-range intensity where you only have seconds to disappear under a pack of dogs. . An incredibly sophisticated melee system also helps prevent button boredom, and when you’re armed with the occasional jump roll, Tyranids dive bombing adds to the fun of movement.
I wish Space Marine 2 would live up to this ‘Nidstomping’ by finding something more about life in the Imperium than “Space mehreens are cool”, but it does spark a lot of interesting thoughts on 40k – Positive and critical – you can.
