My 2024 Game of the Year pick may not be the biggest seller of the year, or one with technical pizzazz or eye-bleeding graphics, but it’s the one and only game that lived with me throughout nearly the past twelve months. I started the new Ace Attorney compilation, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy, at release…

The Duck’s 2024 GOTY – FNAF: Into the Pit
As we do every year, it’s about time we chose our top game released in 2024! Okay, so here’s the thing…I don’t usually play games until long after their release. So I literally have one option for Game of the Year for 2024, and that is Five Nights at Freddy’s: Into the Pit. Fortunately, I…
Hat’s 2024 Game of the Year (And More)!
I don’t know about you all, but I struggle to remember everything I play in a year. I don’t necessarily mean that I’ll forget ever playing a game, but rather the “when” of it all kind of gets fuzzy. And, yeah, some games really are just that forgettable. Also, of those that are memorable, picking…
Cary’s 2023 GOTY: Street Fighter 6
Unlike in past years, I’m able to say that this year, I played more than one new release! This means I have a handful of games from which to choose for my game of the year. That’s said, it’s not much of a race…because my winner is, without a doubt, Street Fighter 6.
The Duck’s 2023 GOTY: Pikmin 4
Back in 2023, the Duck only played two games that were actually released in that year. Fortunately, they were both very good games, meaning I’m not going to have to compromise when it comes to my game of the year. My two options between which I needed to deliberate was The Legend of Zelda: Tears…
Hatmonster’s 2023 GotY: BG3 and…
I’ve been hearing a lot of talk recently calling 2023 one of the best years in gaming. To be completely honest, I don’t see it. I mean, yeah, a lot of pretty good stuff came out this year, but I feel as though very little of it was actually memorable or impactful. In my case,…
Elden Ring is My GotY Too!
A little bit ago, the annual Game Awards show did it’s thing with the world premieres and the celebrity cameos and such. I usually don’t care all that much for the show as it seems to be more about spectacle than the actual games. This time though, they did one thing that I actually agreed…
Cary’s 2022 Game of the Year: Stray
As I sit here and think about Stray, I struggle to come up with a game in recent memory that affected me more. I mentioned in my review of the game that the experience of playing it was undoubtedly colored by the recent passing of my own beloved cat, but still, the game rose well…
The Duck’s 2022 GOTY: Kirby and the Forgotten Land
I’ll be completely honest here, I’m not sure I even played any other games that were actually released in 2022…but even if I had, there’s still a very good chance that Kirby and the Forgotten Land would still be my top pick for game of the year! Prior to the release of this beauty, I…
Cary’s 2021 Game of the Year (and Bonus Review!)
Looking back on my 2021 in gaming, two words come to mind: few and scattered. That’s to say I played plenty but didn’t complete many games, let alone any released in 2021. The only exception to this would be Mass Effect Legendary Edition. While its DLC was new to me, however, the excellent core experience…
