Man, my personal GOTY is going to be a shit-show.

There are four games that I've played this year that all would have been my GOTY for 2024. And yet, only one can be victorious.

I thought it was done and dusted with #Expedition33, but the more I play #HadesII the more I think it may be one of the most complete videogames ever made.

And don't even get me started on #Dispatch. If the second half of that season is as good as the first I'm really going to have to question it's standing on this list.

And that's before I think about games like #DOOMTDA, #WuchangFallenFeathers and #RiftRiff.

Hidden Folks ist bis 21.8. kostenlos im Epic Games Store (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS/EU). Entwickler Adriaan de Jongh gründet mit Sylvain eine neue Firma für die Fortsetzung – Sequel damit bestätigt. Über 800 Community-Mails mit Ideen wurden beantwortet und fließen in die Entwicklung ein. Neues Spiel „Rift Riff“ (Tower Defense) steht kurz vor Abschluss.

Okay so last night I started #RiftRiff and you know what? It's wonderful.

Its a 'rogue-light' tower defense game from the guy who made *Hidden Folks*.

Now normally a tower defense game wouldn't ignite my fire if you know what I mean, no sir. However this is forgiving enough (it really respects my time) that failure doesn't feel like a chore in the slightest.

It's also super cute and each round takes like 2 minutes top.

Runs superbly well on the deck and its totally scratching the itch that games like #BadNorth and #IntoTheBreach left behind.

Rift Riff is a beautifully designed tower defense game about pumping juice https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/05/rift-riff-is-a-beautifully-designed-tower-defense-game-about-pumping-juice/
