Jarrod’s 2024 Top Ten Games of the Year and Other Meaningless Awards
I’ve been writing these lists for a while now, and I always try to sum up how i’m feeling about the game industry at that particular moment in time. In 2023 I wrote about the industry writ large essentially being a dumpster fire, and basically all of the bad stuff from 2023 got exponentially worse. 2024 was actually the year where I looked at my wife and said “if our children come to us and say they want to make a career in videogaming, it is our duty as their parents to steer them away from that”.

As editor of GameCritics.com and the host of the So Videogames Podcast — and also as a person who just generally loves videogames — I strive to sample as much of the industry as I can.

Brad’s Top 10 Of 2022
2022 is now in the rear view mirror, and overall I’d say it was a good year — in terms of videogames, if little else.

What’s the new hotness? What’s the current design trend? I’m also always on the lookout for hidden gems or indies that fly under the radar, so it basically means that I try a ton of titles every year! For anyone who’s curious what my year of plays looks like, here it is, in the exact order that I played them.

Alex Prakken’s Top 10 Of 2021
2021 has been an odd and difficult year, but it was superb for gaming. With the announcement of the Game Awards nominees, I realized I played more great games this year than perhaps any other year in my life.
Suskie’s Actual Top Ten Of 2021
2021 was a year that broke our brains just a little bit. You don’t need me to tell you that, and I’ve already spoken about this elsewhere anyway. I finished fewer games this year than any other year in recent memory. As a critic, I’ve generally believed that I should at least make a valiant effort to complete a game before judging it — the more of a work you’ve seen, the more informed your reaction to it will be.
