#WhatFourGames that you've played in 2024 would you consider to be your favourites so far?
Think of it as a half-way GOTY list.
Ideally we'll use images but I understand that's not practical. They don't have to be 2024 releases. I'll kick us off...
Please #Boost for exposure. I'd love this to become a sort of weekly #MstdnGames feature, but we can't do that without your help.
And thanks.

@roy_rock_on I bounced off of that one hard.
Really enjoyed the boss fights but I found the rest of the game to be a bit subpar. Not a criticism of the game as such, just that if I'm going to play those games and commit that time I need it to be absolutely amazing.
@danielholt To each their own I suppose. I'll grant some confusing level design and more limited character progression than others in the genre.
I just think the shell system is a brilliant bit of game design. Forces you to change up you play-style and rewards defensive play. Very much feeds into the crab fantasy.
Anyway, Nine Sols is at the top of my to play list. Looks incredible.
I went into Animal Well very excited and I lasted an hour before I decided it wasn't for me.
Oh well I guess.
@danielholt This was way harder than I expected it to be, and that's with the fact that I keep really excellent track of what I've played.
I'm not including Against the Storm, because I would have called that one of my favorites of 2023, so even though I played it this year as well, I thought I'd give someone else a chance.
#Palworld #IslandsOfInsight #Crashlands #Reus2
So: Palworld, Islands of Insight, Crashlands, and Reus 2.
@danielholt They added 2 new gods, and changed it so you can only take 3 at a time. They got rid of needing to manage how fast towns develop because they won't go to war with each other (or you!), and the planets feel smaller, I have not managed to get more than I think 4 towns going at once.
So it's a direct sequel in that the game play loop is very similar, but all the individual items and projects and things are different.
@Krikket I wonder how it runs on Deck....
I'm crying out for something like that, that I can play on the Deck.
@danielholt I kind of dropped the ball on this, but I am pleased to report that Reus 2 works pretty good on the Steam Deck, with the biggest drawback being in the text size, but I found it manageable.
(it's also 20% off until August 1st.)

@Tak Tunic is great. Probably one of the games I look back on most fondly. I'll never play it again, but everything about is is just nice.
I do wish they'd release that instruction manual as a real world thing though.
