The past year was rather lacking in major releases and blockbuster hits. As a result, many gamers (including us) formed the opinion that nothing substantial was released in 2024. But of course, that's not true. According to Steam statistics, more games were released last year than in 2023. Throughout the season, we mainly talked about the most important and loud releases and less about small projects that were unlucky with advertising and wide publicity. In this article, we've compiled 15 cool games that you definitely need to try. Perhaps these projects will be what you associate with 2024.

In this article, we have compiled a list of the most anticipated games on PS4 and PS5. First, we will talk about exclusive projects from Sony, and then smoothly transition to multiplatform.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is one of the most original games of this year, which Microsoft carelessly «threw into the cold» (the game was released in December) without a proper marketing campaign and at the most inopportune time for gaming. Even though another game appeared in the Xbox collection that received high ratings from the press and fan base recognition, it went almost unnoticed by the wider audience. The game didn't even make it to The Game Awards tier list due to its late release date, although its chances of winning could have been very high. In this review, we will explain why you should pay attention to Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, even if you have never been a fan of the Indiana Jones universe.

After nine years of development, several concept changes, team reshuffles, and rewriting the title, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has finally been released! Considering the mixed reactions from gamers and differing opinions on the new release, we decided to dive into the game ourselves to objectively evaluate the product without fanaticism and bias. Our main goal is to examine how the game stands as a standalone fantasy adventure for newcomers and to assess how well it honors the legacy of the series, which is crucial for dedicated fans. In this review, we will discuss all the strengths of the project as well as the major issues that many have overlooked.

The Forever Winter enters early access — an extraction shooter with a very bold game design concept and stunning visuals. Despite the overall rawness of the project and obvious optimization issues, we spent dozens of hours in TFW and couldn't tear ourselves away from the engaging gameplay. A true uncut gem amidst all the recent big-budget releases. In this article, we will discuss the key features of the new extraction shooter and why you should pay attention to it.

Red Dead Redemption was released on PC after 14 years! The «console beta test» is officially over, and now all gamers can get acquainted with the project. Of course, after the second part, the original game no longer looks like something incredible that PC owners dreamed of in 2010. For some reason, Rockstar first ported RDR2 (this happened in 2019) and only after 5 years released the first part.

The seasonal Steam Next Fest has recently concluded, offering small and independent studios the opportunity to showcase their projects without expensive advertising and PR. For several days, players had the chance to try out demos of unique projects and unusual indie games, discovering new genre branches and mechanics. We couldn't miss such an event and tested most of the projects presented at the festival. In this article, we will talk about the most interesting games, in our opinion, that are worth waiting for no less than big-budget blockbusters.

The Poles from «Bloober Team» have repeatedly proven that they know how to work with psychological horror games. After the project The Medium, the gaming community had no doubt that this particular studio would work with the long-forgotten Silent Hill series. And now, after years, we have received a modern vision of the PlayStation 2 era masterpiece, which not only retained the key merits of the original but also modernized all the outdated mechanics by today's standards. We went through the updated Silent Hill 2 to reasonably dispel the remaining skepticism after the unsuccessful trailers and pre-release hate, as well as to explain why this game deserves your close attention.
