2024: A Year in Gaming

[selenay]

Summary

So, I started 2024 as a new Nintendo Switch owner (well, I'd had it a month) and a very newbie gamer who had never owned a console before getting the Switch. I have ended 2024 with two consoles (PS5 arrived in my life in September), a deep love for RPGs, and hundreds of hours invested in games. My first full year of gaming has been great!

Games completed 2024:

Octopath Traveller II
Dragon Age Inquisition
Dragon Age Veilguard

I loved all of these, but Veilguard was definitely my favourite of the year and not just because I only finished it yesterday. It's the one where I'm immediately planning out a Rook for a second play through, although I'm also planning to start my next game so it won't be a play through with the intensity of focus I had in my first play!

Games in progress (and loving and planning to finish next year) 2024:

Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Wylde Flowers

Games planned for 2025 (list far too long for actual reality of play time available):

Stray
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Final Fantasy VII: Remake
Metaphor Refantasio
Baldur's Gate
Kingdoms of Amalar: Re-reckoning

Games on my list to play later:

Mass Effect (1-3)
Horizon Forbidden West
Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth
Ghost of Tsushima
The Witcher 3
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arise
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

2025 game releases I'm already excited for:

Claire Obscure: Expedition 33
Ghost of Yotei

This is so cool!

I have a deep and abiding love for the Horizon games, and consider BG3 the greatest game of all times, so I hope you have a ton of fun with those when you get to them.

I am so, so excited for Ghost of Yotei!

I won't tell you how tempted I am to suggest the next once-a-week-watch should be an hour of us watching you play the Mass Effect trilogy ever Monday evening...
