The best games of 2024
Ranked by rating across the catalog.
2024 delivered a striking range: an action-adventure remaster, a psychological horror remake, a beloved adventure revisited for its 20th year, and a handful of sharp indie hits. Whether you gravitate toward deduction puzzles, roguelike survival, or proximity-chat shooters, the year's standout games share a quality of intention — each one committed fully to its own logic, atmosphere, and feel. Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Silent Hill 2, and The Last of Us Part II Remastered anchor the list; the smaller titles earn their place by doing exactly what they set out to do.

Frequently asked
Where should I start if I've never played any of these games?
Lil' Guardsman and World of Goo 2 are the most accessible entry points — low barrier, strong charm. For something more substantial, Beyond Good & Evil – 20th Anniversary Edition is a complete, self-contained adventure with broad appeal.
Which 2024 game is best for fans of psychological horror?
Silent Hill 2 is the clear answer — James receives a letter from his deceased wife and travels to Silent Hill hoping to see her again, only to find a woman eerily similar waiting for him. The Last of Us Part II Remastered carries real emotional weight, though its horror is more visceral than psychological.
Is Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree worth it if I haven't finished the base game?
The DLC is set in the Land of Shadow, a place tied to Miquella and the broader lore of the base game, so finishing — or being deep into — Elden Ring is strongly recommended before entering it.
