It’s just about time for my top ten games of the year list! If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably already know the rules, but here they are anyway. To be eligible for my list a game needs to have its first release in the United States happen in the year 2024, full remakes count but not remasters, and I have to have played them. I thought I’d do something different this year and post every game that is eligible. Now, when your favorite doesn’t show up, you can look here and see if I even played it.

There’s a few on the list that I’m not sure where I fall on the “remake or remaster” debate, as that line keeps getting blurrier. But anyway, here is my list.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Skull and Bones

Penny’s Big Breakaway

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

Princess Peach Showtime!

Minishoot’ Adventures

Animal Well

Crow Country

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition

Thank Goodness You’re Here

Emio- The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club

Visions of Mana

UFO 50

Epic Mickey Rebrushed

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Silent Hill 2

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero

Kong: Survivor Instinct

Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket

Infinity Nikki

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind

Beyond Shadowgate

Mars After Midnight

There’s technically still time for me to add to the list, but it’s running out quickly. There’s a few games I’ve bought or downloaded on Gamepass that I haven’t played, which includes Astro Bot, Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore, Contra: Operation Galuga, Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.

But otherwise, that’s my list! I hope you’re looking forward to seeing the final list. I thought this would be cool for a little transparency, and also something I could write quick on a week where I didn’t have much time. Check back soon for the final list!
