The last year presented us with another hefty selection of RPGs to enjoy, covering a wide variety of experiences. With another year in the books, RPGamer spent our customary time digesting the year and present our Best of 2024 Awards.
2024 was another year that packed plenty of punches with its releases. While we go through our official awards process, we asked our volunteer teams to pick out their personal top threes of the year.
Chris realizes WoW is the new Diablo. Phil bakes a potato into two. Kelley becomes a cat in a frog suit. And we’re dressing beds with old t-shirts.
Kelley eats radioactive sushi. Chris tries to learn what a “zound” is. Josh goes to the Millennium tower one last time and rips off his shirt. Johnathan makes his bi-annual visit to Suiko-shame Chris.
Chris has his mind blown with Nep-nep lore. Robert develops his random Neptunia game launcher. And Kelley rolls off a balcony. RIP.
Kelley risks her life trimming her cat’s nails. Chris optimizes Eiyuden Chronicle live on stream. Robert plays dental roulette.
Chris force feeds people desserts to make people like each other. Ryan likes bad games, just like Chris. Kelley has a penchant for losing pendants. Matt throws some garbage in the pot and suddenly it’s pizza. Now let’s grow old and lose stats together.
Chris gets ready for his favorite part of FFXIV, the benchmark. Kelley complains about her hotel bed while waiting for a tow truck. Josh is force feeding his army desserts. Meanwhile…wait…Robert…wake up, Robert!
Kelley gets bored and cleans her bathroom. Memories of the Virtual Boy make Josh’s eyes hurt. Robert can’t stop singing about Albuquerque. Chris, meanwhile, decides to make his own farming sim with coffee shops and old people.
Chris confesses to being a French Karen. Kelley is consumed by the Lego mimic freebie. And Robert gets an anime pretzel robot roommate.
Chris gets cheesecake from rats. Kelley punches worms to get her Tifa back. And Josh funds a re-dub of Yakuza with Mark Hamil. Now excuse us as we go attend tonight’s brawl at the local Waffle House.
This week in Q&A Quest, we discuss some demos from PAX East. We also discuss the depth of Unicorn Overlord.
Chris is hunting bears, because of course that’s what you do. Kelley hangs out with Chadley and the massively annoying individual. Robert is all about that exquisite fraisier cake.
