what was the last game you played in 2024?

Roboquest! I got my first completed run just in time!

Dave the diver

A modded version of Final Fantasy Tactics

Balatro.

Stardew Valley!

Slay The Spire - finally beat the heart.

Skyrim... First try with adamant perks.

Breath of the Wild. Enjoying it so far

S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2

Phantasy Star Online on the GameCube. And I was actually online. Crazy huh.

I just stole someone's sweet role.

Inscryption

outer wilds

Jackbox!

Stellaris. As a hyper-aggressive, warmongering, Rome-obsessed species of lovebirds. All the organic aliens have been turned into GMO livestock and all the machine aliens have been forced into slavery. I bomb the planets into oblivion not because I need to, but because I imagine my pretty birds would enjoy doing it.

2 player Mario Kart Wii, 16 race game with aggressive items and motion controls.

I watched my friend eat 5 blueshells in one race lmao

Cracktorio

The witcher 3!!! 40+ hours in and loving it

Factorio : Space Age

Rise of the Golden Idol

Dragon Age: Origins. Never got around to finishing it before.

Pikmin

Talos Principle 2! Man, what a banger.

I've been working my way through Half-Life Opposing Force. It is harder than the base game, but I do enjoy it. It has a lot of ideas like the squad mechanics that would be great to see reworked.

Simulacra together with my wife :-)

I think it was BG3 or Potion Craft for me.

Chess. Nerd time

CK2 ...

Baldurs Gate 3 split screen with my wife.

Replay of Mass Effect. I had to cheat, though, because I forgot that the Mako is mandatory to finish the Ilos level. I had to use a cheat code to spawn it just before the end. So many people have made this mistake and you can't go back for the Mako if you left it behind, so you are soft-locked out of the ending if you don't re-spawn it. You'd think they'd have fixed that in the Legendary Edition, but no.

Jackbox Survey Scramble

Basically like Jackbox Family Feud. Was a really fun all-ages activity over the holidays.

When a new game comes out, I'm compelled to play the earlier entries in the series first, so I got the Borderlands collection, and I'm playing through the first game now.

Cyberpunk 2077

Of any game? Codenames. Was playing with family when the clock struck midnight.

Of computer games, it was probably Kerbal Space Program, which I've just started to get into again over Christmas for the first time in years.

Cat Quest 3 on the Switch with my wife

I played Balatro with my brother (we put in up on a TV)

Dishonored! Playing the whole series over again.

The Legend of Zelda (og, on retroarch w/ shaders)

Timberborn! I do love those beavers.

Minecraft with my kid

creative mode Java through Prism on Steam Deck, connecting to vanilla self-hosted server

Satisfactory

Grim Dawn

A Shelter Full of Cats I'm a sucker for any game from Devcats.

god of war ragnarok. it will be the first of 2025 too while I finish off the berserkers

NES Tetris. I have a little emulator device that looks like a Game Boy Advance SP, and that's been my go to while I'm traveling

Path of Exile 2 👍

I just started getting into Deadlock and that was the last game I played in 2024. However, I only played for about an hour. Before that, in the same afternoon I played Foxhole for about four hours and Balatro for two.

Vacation ends the moment I put my phone down and go to sleep... It was a good time.

Edit: Ah I forgot we played Jack Box at the party I went to leading up to midnight. Does that count?

Minecraft, All The Mods 10

Cookie Clicker... Lol

Path of exile 2

Generation Zero

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.

Not that I play a lot. I was just trying it, but it happened to be the last one I played last year.

Diablo 2: Resurrected

Actually played it while watching the fireworks.

My last game was grimlord. :) highly recommended to anyone who has a VR headset.

Tiny Rogues

Last game I finished was Veilguard. Pretty close to EoY. It wasn't exactly what I wanted, and the difficulty falls off a cliff as a mage when you get life steal, but it wasn't bad. The romance with Neve was entirely too... unromantic, and PG-13 though. Very disappointing. No intimacy.

Then I started CrossCode and it's been good. Feels like a mix of old snes games (Zelda, lufia2) and MMO, without the annoying parts like other players. The puzzles also aren't very hand holdy, which is nice. I feel like a lot of games are too aggressive with their "HEY IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN SLIDE THAT BRICK. HEY I BET FIRE MELTS ICE."

Automobilista 2 - Caterham racing around Oulton Park as the clock hit midnight.

Earlier in the evening I played the latest Mario Party and some Jackbox games with the fam.

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day

Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say

No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip

For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

House flipper

On gamepass, and tha fully on gamepass because od never spend actual money on that game.

Heavily modded Risk of Rain 2, because somehow it’s still a delightful gem

Ghost of Tsushima on the PC. 90 fps (most of the time) 4K.

The gameplay is really to my taste, so I am planning on playing this one for a while.

Just bought my self Lies Of P for Christmas. Didnt finished it yet but it was the last game ive started in 2024

I've been playing a LOT of arma 3 rpg's. So fun trying to smuggle drugs across the map before the police figure out what's going on.

Next year I'll probably move over to a larger playbase game with similar gameplay loop, maybe EVE online

Return to Moria for me. I picked it up for free from Epic recently and it's all I've played since. Going solo and I just made it to the Pilgrim Road waypoint.

Helldivers 2

For liber-tea!!!

TOTK

Palworld.

Minecraft. I just stopped playing about 20 minutes ago.

Gothic (2001). Still a really cool game!

Replaying Pillars of Eternity Deadfire.

Tcg shop simulator

Archaelund

WH40K: Chaos Gate

Hollow Knight. I just killed all 3 Dreamers on my steam save. Currently trying to beat Trial of the Fool. Keep dying to the Mawleks.

Boomerang Fu. Played with the kids who enjoyed stomping their parents.

Witcher 3 (but there's still time!)

X4. The economy must flow.

For The King II

Astro Bot.

Spelunky 2.5

Astrobot!

Wipeout Omega Collection.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3

Guild Wars 2

Samurai Zero. I haven't attempted speed runs, but I just finished the game.

Gears 3

STALKER 2

Final Fantasy XIV

Warframe. trying to get my noob friend up to current content so we can experience 1999 together.

System Shock, the remake by Nightdive.

I'm old enough that I bought and played the original SS back in the day, and it was transformative.

A Short Hike

Brotato

Phantasy Star (the first one)

Elden Ring, just beat the dlc and helped a few others do the same.

As much as I'd have liked it to be some kind of active or skill based game, it was either going to be webfishing or revolution idle.

I recently picked up secrets of grindea, but after having binged it for a few days, I'm grinded out. I need to earn so much gold if I want to collect all the things and it feels like my combat power has hit a wall. There are a few non-grind things I could tackle, but I'll just wait a bit and let burnout go away.

Deep Rock Galactic

trying to see how many times i can take a shit in a single 24 hours

Marvel rivals

Brotato, working on unlocking all the characters

Foxhole. Looks like a silly little indie game, but boy there are huge scale mechanics and coop required. I'm kinda fascinated and want to play even more, not sure if work and life actually allows me to play a lot though.

I think it was either Mouthwashing, which I definitively finished that day (loved it), or Animal Well, which I bought that day and played a lot since.

It's been Jackbox every year for the past 8+ years. A side-effect of hosting the New Years Eve party for a bunch of gamers.

I'm about halfway through Lego Lord of the Rings right now.

Commandos: Beyond the call of duty.

Old enough to be good (no dark patterns or other bullshit), new enough to be playable (the first Commandos is just too pixelated, you need hyper vision to play it).

What a game.

Brought my steamdeck to our new years party and managed to snag 2 others to play brotato in multiplayer for a bit. I thought it would be more popular to play some games since that is how we all know each other. Otherwise it would have been Factorio: space age.

Both the first game of 2024 and the last one was Medieval II: Total War.

Conquered the world with France at the start of the year, now doing the same with the Danes.

Darkest dungeon

I brought in the new year playing Fire Emblem: Awakening (which I've been obsessed with after finally getting it working on an emulator). I'd been struggling with lunatic mode but I figured out I can just feed Robin because of the XP boost and then use her to carry the team. Changed her to Pegasus Knight and then Dark Flier and now I can just swoop in and one-shot any enemy and she's over-levelled enough that the enemies won't prioritize her, and if they do, she dodges everything and has enough HP to survive a bow to the face.

The early levels were very challenging and I had to heavily abuse save states but once I got rolling it's been a lot smoother. The two cavaliers you start with literally can't survive a single hit starting out. Since everyone's so vulnerable, you just have to get one unit good asap to avoid relying on your Jagen.

Yakuza 0, first time playing yakuza games an it'sfirst game of 2025

Like the last 7 years past, DOTA 2

Finished Metaphor: Refantazio right before the end of the year. Fantastic game which is shockingly relevant to so much going on at the moment around the world.

Half life 1

Bloodborne

Partner and I played Mario Kart 8, was quite fun!

Grim Dawn with Reign Of Terror mod.

Funny enough it was RuneScape before work leagues V

Animal Crossing New Horizons. Celebrating New Year on the island are part of our new year tradition.

This also makes it the first game played during 2025.

After finishing Tactical Breach Wisards, I have decided to revisit the whole defenestration trilogy and now I can't stop playing Heat Signature.

Stalker 2, yesterday 🙂

Project Zomboid. B42 is out!

I mean its hard to say but im pretty sure it was elden ring.

ARAM in League, a shit game to end a shit year.

Diablo IV, the same game as in 2023. I bought the original with Christmas money in 2023 and then bought Vessel of Hatred on the last day of 2024.

Guardians of the Galaxy. The combat could have been a bit better, but otherwise it was fantastic. Better than any of the movies except the end of 2.

Ticket to Ride

Bloons 6 🤓

Genshin Impact just released a new version that for most of the world became playable on Jan 1, but where I live it started several hours before the end of Dec 31.

So that.

Rimworld, and I just found that there are tons of mods for it. I'll likely be playing it for quite a while still.

Fallout 4, just started Whispering Hills and my 100th something playthrough

To the Core

Resonite! So much more fulfilling than VrChat.

Finished a run in Windblown.

The Sims 3. I had to figure out how to disable OneDrive backup for my Documents folder, because Sims 3 insists on keeping your saves there, and somehow everything breaks if OneDrive tries to sync them. Previously I had given in and let OneDrive sync everything because Win11 nags you if you try to avoid it.

I also have to fiddle with processor affinity to get the game to launch, for some reason.

It still crashes a lot.

Red dead 2

I think it was DOOM (Psychophobia mod over GZDoom).

Got a need for nostalgia. Last game was MGS4. Before that, it was THPS1&2.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

My son and I played COD Mobile. Domination at Shipment before my dad arrived. We just got these two assault rifles gold, and we started the grind to diamond. It’s a fun game, without having to pay to win to enjoy.

Lost Odyssey

Celeste

Space Marine 2. I love Warhammer stuff.

Dwarf fortress. I am bad at juggling metal and fuel, but I got a set of bronze armor for my soldiers and steel shortswords for every dwarf

and then migrants showed up :)

I played through all of Thimbleweed Park yesterday, fantastic time. Point and click adventure game with no real moon logic. Also, the art is fucking gorgeous

Zelda - echos of wisdom. Loved the new concept of the echos, but too easy of a game and too much talking without the option to skip.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, a few days ago. Been busy or just didn't feel like gaming since then.

It was either noita or war thunder, was playing both last night and I forget which I was playing before midnight
