@@MarbleGiant SandLand is definitely a gem,I am about halfway through it now and it has just been a delightful game to play. I read the Manga and Watched the anime as well which added to my hype for the game and that just made me appreciate it that much more.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and your family! Been watching you for 16 Years now :) Thank you for being a consistent part of my life with your videos !
Great list! Merry Christmas! For me it's S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, Unicorn Overlord, Metaphor: Refantazio, Silent Hill 2, Balatro, Satisfactory. It was kind of an expansion but I really liked Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. Also I had a lot of fun with Shadow of the Erdtree this year too. It was also cool to see a new release for Lollipop Chainsaw but I didn't like that the music was removed.
Dragon Quest 3 HD2D is my favorite release this year. The nostalgia trip was just I needed, and I had forgotten how much I loved the game. Being able to class switch really makes it for me. It allows me to plan a playthrough based on the party I will create, and that sets up lots of long term goals to grind towards, so the grind has an aim. I just adore this remake.
Not in order, but from the 2024 games I finished, the best are Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, Space Marine 2, Banishers Ghosts of New Eden, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth. Guilty pleasures were Sandland and Alone in the dark remake. And games that I'm most excited to play in 2025 are Metaphor, KCD2, Paper Mario, Thaumaturge
Infinite Wealth ♾️ was my favorite gane this year glad you mentioned it not enough people talk about it. Also enjoyed Metaphor ReFantazio, Astrobot, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, and Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. What an incredible year for gaming.
FF12 had the most play hours, but Stellar Blade was my nr 1, Dragon Quest 3 hd was a lot of fun to play to. Finished that and hope to replay it in a few years. Big plus with Dragon quest you can make a ridiculous crew, then change their jobs and improve them a lot.
This year has delivered so many amazing games. FFVII: Rebirth, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Tekken 8, plus the MvC collection & many more Cannot pick just one
Mario Party Jamboree is one of my favourite games of the year. And probably my favourite in the series since Mario Party 7. Love the new and old boards and the mini games themselves are so fun to play
I would recommend to you Granblue Fantasy Relink which also released this year. A bit lacking in the story department but totally worth it for the gameplay and visuals. Happy Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christmas Johnny and Kim! Some of my favorites I’ve played this year is FF7 Rebirth, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Mario Party Jamboree, Sonic and Shadow Generations, Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, and The Plucky Squire. Just beaten Mario and Luigi Brothership yesterday, and I gotta say it’s been an awesome year for games. Soo many more yet to play and finish. Great Line Up of games you played this year. I always enjoy watching your new videos you post!
Even though I play none of the games you play or review, I have to say I love your videos and always look forward to seeing them. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your loved ones.
I'm glad to see Visions of Mana getting some love. I really enjoyed it, and I hope we get more Mana games that build off its foundations. As a side note, it's also the only game I've ever platinumed. It's pretty rare that a game makes me want to do everything.
FFVII Rebirth for me was the #1definitive gaming experience in my life, I grew up playing all the FF games in the 90's and FFVII being my fav game ever and the one i played countless times throughout my life I couldn't relate more when he said the main characters are like our own friends that we've known our whole lives, I have been playing games for about 30 years now and no game gave me the experience that Rebirth did ❤
@JonathanS-x7w it's all a matter of personal opinion in the end, I've played heaps of RPGS and probably most of the ones worth trying but for me Rebirth tops them all, as I said "for me" lol
Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Astro Bot, Animal Well, Eiyuden Chronicles, Silent Hill 2 are some of my favorites. And I'm really enjoying Indiana Jones most recently. It doesn't seem like right now a lot of RPGs are on the docket for 2025, at least at the moment. But my most anticipated are Metroid Prime 4 and hopefully(finally) Hollow Knight: Silksong.
I have spent close to 30 h with Eiyuden and loved the journey, but the game keeps on crashing on what I assume must be one of the last chapters of the game. So frustrating!
Im totally not keeping up with current ganes at all 😢😢😢 but this year i did snag Balatro, such a fun well made casual game. Also played through Luigi's Mansion 3, Prey 2017, Ori Will of the Wisps, Monster Hunter World, and now Dragon Quest 3 SNES version.
My favorite was Ys X: Nordics. Rebirth and Metaphor up there too. Please leave your livestreams available to watch. I never know when you are live and I catch the very end of the streams.
My game of the year is an unorthodox pick. I started streaming on twitch as part of my therapy for ptsd and the one thing that really helped me was Nintendo switch online. The amount of time I decided hey I’m going to play an older title from my childhood or fzero99 has blown my mind. I have enjoyed it so much
I feel you but from experience streaming with PTSD, resist over sharing on a stream. When people do that I don't think it's therapy I actually think it does more harm in the long run because a lot of those people that are going to watch those videos don't need to be knowing some of those incredibly personal things. I'm saying this because I made the mistake and experienced it in a very bad way so just be careful have fun
My 2024 game of the year is Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. I bought and backlogged so many games in 2024, I am still plaything through P3R, Stellar Blade and FF7. in the que Grandblue Fantasy, Ys X, Trails through Daybreak, Dragon Quest 3, Astro Bot, Vision of Mana and Unicorn Overlord. Thanks to " no tax" for a month in Canada on physical games I am buying up some end of the year deals like Black Myth Wukong, Rise of Ronin.
Something i don't think alot of people mention about stellar blade outside of it's combat and character designs. But how sometimes you enter a dungeon and it somehow has a flavor of a resident evil game or just a survival horror game in general. With enemies that are usually pretty tough that trap you in a narrow hallway.
My top games for this year are: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak, Metaphor: ReFantazio. Also ZZZ & GFL2. Merry Christmas Johnny.
John I have a legit question here. Did Metaphor actually not make your top list? I thought it was your goty. I am about to buy it now so I'm in doubts lol
I tried the Romancing Saga 2 Remake demo and it's been surprisingly fun. There's been so many good rpg's out this year, trying to get them all. DQ3 looks amazing. I first played the GBC version, and i still have it.
Have a Merry Christmas, Johnny--I hope you're already getting into the Christmas spirit and enjoying some time to just rest, play games, and be with the family. Thank you for another year of Sundays!
I mostly chipped away at my backlog this year so some of my favorites were: Dark Souls 3, Lies of P, Children of Morta, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Fallout: New Vegas, Divinity: Original Sin 1and 2, X-COM: Enemy Uknown, and Dogeball Academia.
I was late to the BG3 party, so I put in over 200 hours between February and May….so that’s the belated game of the year for me. Excited to Try Astro Bot and Metaphor!
My #1 was definitely hands down Infinite Wealth. What an absolute joy that game was. Every aspect of it was so good and such fan service to people like myself that have been sticking with the franchise long term. It was an absolute treat.
I'd also include Nine Sols. I think it's a game that a lot of people are unaware of, but it's excellent. A 2D sols like action-platformer, well worth a go. I think a lot of indie games miss out due to the lack of marketing, but it's genuinely a great game.
I love Metaphor ReFantazio, but at the same time I also feel like it's very very dated. My GOTY is tied between Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth & FF7 Rebirth.
Mine was Silent Hill 2. There's been a lot of good horror remake of late but this one was on another level of impressive if you ask me. Remaking that was a tall overflowing order, but a studio that was struggling to put out a successful game pulled themselves together, leveled up and did a masterpiece justice. It's inspiring really and is one of those stories that makes me want to try harder on my own artistic pursuits. Gotta admit I didn't play a ton of new games this year but another that stuck out to me was Another Crab's Treasure. I don't see it get mentioned much anymore but I thought it's take on the souls formula was really smart and made for something that felt pretty different.
Didn't play a huge amount of new games but my top 10 games I play for the first time this year are: 1) Elden Ring 2) Lorelei and the Laser Eyes 3) Hollow Knight 4) La-Mulana 5) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered 6) Patrick's Parabox 7) Quake 2 (all expansions) 8) Bosconian 9) Mystic Warriors 10) Taiji
Awesome video as always! ;D I didn't play that many new games this year, but those that I did were stellar! - Cat Quest III, Cat Quest series is such a good hidden gem. Is it hard? no. Is it fun? YES!! - Sonic x Shadow Generation, best Sonic game in years. Waaay better than Frontiers. - Ys X Nordics, haven't finished it but so far I am really enjoying it.
Great list of games. I think you have a lot of fans wondering what you thought of the game awards game reveals. Enjoy the holidays first, and then your impressions on the show.
What's wild to think about, Sega/Atlus put out 4 AMAZING JRPGS this year, Metaphor, Yakuza 8, P3, and SMT5 Vengence. I only had time for 2 of them this year alone, but as far as I can tell all 4 games are amazing. (Metaphor is my runner up for GOTY which was actually Astro Bot)
My top 3: Astro Bot, Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream, and Granblue Fantasy Relink. And I would have enjoyed Sparking!, Rebirth, Visions of Mana, P3 Remake, Metaphor, and Stellar Blade, but I wasn't hooked.
I have to add one that you completely glossed over and that is Trails into Daybreak even though literally all of the boss battles are stupidly easy. That might just be the difficulty I am on though. Being able to spam S crafts in boss battles for quick and easy victories is kinda broken in my opinion. I might have to rethink the difficulty level for Daybreak 2. Loved everything else about the game though. Mario & Luigi Brothership is pretty awesome, too. Edit: a lot of people are complaining about how ridiculously easy Daybreak is even on Nghtmare difficulty. Definitely hoping that boss battles are more challenging in Daybreak 2.
For traditional jrpg fans, eiyuden chronicle hundred heroes seems to have been way under the radar. It's making me very excited for the upcoming suikoden remaster.
Find a way to at least try *Helldivers 2!* No pvp, matchmakes you with helpful divers, has some of the best unscripted action moments in any game. Like playing a soldier inside a scene straight from Starship Troopers, some Aliens, and a dash of the war scenes from Terminator. I'll walk ya through it if you ever pick it up!
Game of the year I think I’m going with Unicorn Overlord. Still need to pick up Metaphor. But my next purchase after Balarto is Going to be Animal Well.

I played and loved Sand Land based upon your review. So few creators have talked about this gem.
And 2024 was a great year for games.
@@MarbleGiant SandLand is definitely a gem,I am about halfway through it now and it has just been a delightful game to play. I read the Manga and Watched the anime as well which added to my hype for the game and that just made me appreciate it that much more.
Betting on it coming to Nintendo's next system
I picked up for $20 on Black Friday havent tried yet tho. Didnt like demo but hear the full game better
What a wonderful game that is.
Needs a big story addon.
2 games this year for me.
Elden ring/Shadow of the erdtree.
Black myth wukong is my current game and I LOVE it!
I love your vibe when you do your reviews!
Honestly, just seeing you list off all these awesome games shows how insane this year was! I’m still playing catch up!
I really like East 10 Norway
Merry Christmas Johnny. I always start my Sunday with your show. I enjoyed the live stream last night. Game on
For me:
1.) FFVII Rebirth
2.) Wukong
3.) Metaphor Refantazio
4.) Hell Divers 2
5.) Astrobot

I started my first playthrough of Witcher 3 a couple weeks back and that's my game of the year.
No that doesn't count. Great game but you got to pick something that came out this year
@@JonathanS-x7w what if it's a game that got a physical release this year but a digital one last year?
Merry Christmas Johnny, the surprise stream last night was a treat. Love starting the week with your videos!
Astro Bot was soooooo good; my wife and I blasted through it in two days, and I’m thinking about starting it up again already. 🔥🔥
Perfect way to start my Sunday 🎉
Wrapping presents and watching, best time of the year 🔥🤘🎅🤘🔥
Not in order, but from the 2024 games I finished, the best are Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, Space Marine 2, Banishers Ghosts of New Eden, Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth.
Guilty pleasures were Sandland and Alone in the dark remake.
And games that I'm most excited to play in 2025 are Metaphor, KCD2, Paper Mario, Thaumaturge
I played Visions of mana all the way to the end the week i got it. loved that game.
I absolutely hated the game and I love every other mana game. The characters were god awful
Found your channel through listening to you on Summon Sign. Love the positive energy! My 2024 game of the year is Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Same here
Infinite Wealth ♾️ was my favorite gane this year glad you mentioned it not enough people talk about it. Also enjoyed Metaphor ReFantazio, Astrobot, Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, and Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. What an incredible year for gaming.
Astro Bot is my game of the year and close second is Stellar Blade. 😊
Wukong
These two are the ones I’m most looking forward to (I am catching up on my backlog but will get to these when I’m done)
@@kingdomheartsgamer8771 not even close buddy not even close
@@kato2395 ohhh I forgot you like shaved heads space lesbians my bad

FF7 Rebirth and Metaphor are seriously my favorite RPGs since last year's Baldur's Gate 3
I’ve got Metaphor coming in this Friday and I can’t wait to check it out 🔥
@blitzball4lyfe823 hope you enjoy it✌🏻
You gotta try baulders crepe, not a joke!
Merry Christmas Johnny to you and your family

Stellar Blade is my game of the year. The world, story and most of all music was absolutely perfect to me. Replayed it which I never do with games.
Your video highlights just how phenomenal this year was for games! Thanks, Johnny 🤙🏼
I love this video so much. I love the way you show us the disc case so we can see the exact game it is, take a screenshot and buy that copy.
Happy Holidays to you and yours! ❤😊❤
Merry Christmas Johnny and Kim!
Some of my favorites I’ve played this year is FF7 Rebirth, Granblue Fantasy Relink, Mario Party Jamboree, Sonic and Shadow Generations, Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, and The Plucky Squire.

I learned something new today, thanks to this video.
New subscriber this year. Enjoyed all your coverage and reviews. Merry Christmas.

Man you gotta play some more RPGs then, if that's what defines your gaming life lol there's so many better RPGs out there than the remakes
@JonathanS-x7w it's all a matter of personal opinion in the end, I've played heaps of RPGS and probably most of the ones worth trying but for me Rebirth tops them all, as I said "for me" lol
Sea of stars for me this year. Absolutely loved it. Happy Christmas mate, thanks so much for all the great content this year 🥳
Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Astro Bot, Animal Well, Eiyuden Chronicles, Silent Hill 2 are some of my favorites. And I'm really enjoying Indiana Jones most recently. It doesn't seem like right now a lot of RPGs are on the docket for 2025, at least at the moment. But my most anticipated are Metroid Prime 4 and hopefully(finally) Hollow Knight: Silksong.
@@ezioauditore4061 Eiyuden Chronicle has been fantastic,almost done with that one and so has Prince of Persia which I need to get back to.
I have spent close to 30 h with Eiyuden and loved the journey, but the game keeps on crashing on what I assume must be one of the last chapters of the game. So frustrating!
I'm glad to hear Visions of Mana is good. Haven't picked it up yet, but it's been a long time since a Mana game has blown me away.

Stellar Blade was and is so much fun! Amazing game! And the music is unbelievable
Nice list!
I would add Sea of Stars to my list! what a fun game. I only count physical release dates
😀
I am currently on with Unicorn Overlord on the switch. I'm really enjoying 40 hours in . As always, great video
Games of the year for me:
1-Wukong
2-Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
3-Silent Hill 2 Remake
4-Metaphor Fantazio
My favorite was Ys X: Nordics. Rebirth and Metaphor up there too.
Please leave your livestreams available to watch. I never know when you are live and I catch the very end of the streams.
Can’t you turn on notifications or whatever?
@zachdude4284 they're already on
@@zerohx77 Well that’s unfortunate. He probably wants to keep an exclusive or secret feel to them, so he doesn’t leave them up. That’s just a guess.
Metaphor is my goty, followed closely by DQ3 which was so well done!
I wasn’t able to play much this year, but Unicorn Overlord was so great! I hope it’s successful so Vanillaware can keep doing their thing.
Merry Christmas Johnny.
This absolutely ruled!
My game of the year is an unorthodox pick. I started streaming on twitch as part of my therapy for ptsd and the one thing that really helped me was Nintendo switch online. The amount of time I decided hey I’m going to play an older title from my childhood or fzero99 has blown my mind. I have enjoyed it so much

My 2024 game of the year is Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. I bought and backlogged so many games in 2024, I am still plaything through P3R, Stellar Blade and FF7. in the que Grandblue Fantasy, Ys X, Trails through Daybreak, Dragon Quest 3, Astro Bot, Vision of Mana and Unicorn Overlord. Thanks to " no tax" for a month in Canada on physical games I am buying up some end of the year deals like Black Myth Wukong, Rise of Ronin.
My favourites games were FFVII Rebirth, Stellar Blade and Balatro. I never expected to enjoy a poker game but it was excellent!
Sand Land Im goong through that I feel was super under the radar, but Le Mans Ultimate was my game of the year. Absolute gem
Something i don't think alot of people mention about stellar blade outside of it's combat and character designs.
But how sometimes you enter a dungeon and it somehow has a flavor of a resident evil game or just a survival horror game in general.
With enemies that are usually pretty tough that trap you in a narrow hallway.
My top games for this year are: Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, Persona 3 Reload, The Legend of Heroes: Trails Through Daybreak, Metaphor: ReFantazio. Also ZZZ & GFL2. Merry Christmas Johnny.
John I have a legit question here. Did Metaphor actually not make your top list? I thought it was your goty.
I am about to buy it now so I'm in doubts lol
He wanted to speak on games outside of his game of the year.
I tried the Romancing Saga 2 Remake demo and it's been surprisingly fun.
There's been so many good rpg's out this year, trying to get them all.
DQ3 looks amazing.
I first played the GBC version, and i still have it.
Have a Merry Christmas, Johnny--I hope you're already getting into the Christmas spirit and enjoying some time to just rest, play games, and be with the family. Thank you for another year of Sundays!
Romancing Saga 2 is one to add! So much fun, I didn't want it to end.
I grabbed Sandland because of your recommendation earlier this year and I love it! Another great recommendation, Johnny!
Love your T-shirt, I've never played that game but the artwork looks amazing!
I mostly chipped away at my backlog this year so some of my favorites were: Dark Souls 3, Lies of P, Children of Morta, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Fallout: New Vegas, Divinity: Original Sin 1and 2, X-COM: Enemy Uknown, and Dogeball Academia.
Merry Christmas to you and kim all the best man
My game of the year is “Mouthwashing”. Hopefully it gets a console release so more people can experience it and maybe get a physical version.
I was late to the BG3 party, so I put in over 200 hours between February and May….so that’s the belated game of the year for me.
Excited to Try Astro Bot and Metaphor!
I got Sand Land as a early Christmas gift from my brother
Excited to try it!
Stellar Blade is my GOTY.
Great video, you should try Astlibra Revision on Switch. Happy Holidays!!
My #1 was definitely hands down Infinite Wealth. What an absolute joy that game was. Every aspect of it was so good and such fan service to people like myself that have been sticking with the franchise long term. It was an absolute treat.
I'd also include Nine Sols. I think it's a game that a lot of people are unaware of, but it's excellent.
A 2D sols like action-platformer, well worth a go.
I think a lot of indie games miss out due to the lack of marketing, but it's genuinely a great game.
I love Metaphor ReFantazio, but at the same time I also feel like it's very very dated. My GOTY is tied between Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth & FF7 Rebirth.
I love Johnny's choice in video games! Tick of approval for every game on this list!
Great video. My favorite games of the year tekken 8 and dragonball sparking zero and sonic x shadow
Mine was Silent Hill 2. There's been a lot of good horror remake of late but this one was on another level of impressive if you ask me. Remaking that was a tall overflowing order, but a studio that was struggling to put out a successful game pulled themselves together, leveled up and did a masterpiece justice. It's inspiring really and is one of those stories that makes me want to try harder on my own artistic pursuits.
Gotta admit I didn't play a ton of new games this year but another that stuck out to me was Another Crab's Treasure. I don't see it get mentioned much anymore but I thought it's take on the souls formula was really smart and made for something that felt pretty different.
Didn't play a huge amount of new games but my top 10 games I play for the first time this year are:
1) Elden Ring
2) Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
3) Hollow Knight
4) La-Mulana
5) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered
6) Patrick's Parabox
7) Quake 2 (all expansions)
8) Bosconian
9) Mystic Warriors
10) Taiji
For me it’s MVC Fighting Collection, Metaphor, P3 Reload and FFVII Rebirth.
Merry Christmas Johnny. Suprised you didn't mention Grandblue!!
Unicorn Overlord is still the beat game I've played this year. So good.
Awesome video as always! ;D
I didn't play that many new games this year, but those that I did were stellar!
- Cat Quest III, Cat Quest series is such a good hidden gem. Is it hard? no. Is it fun? YES!!
- Sonic x Shadow Generation, best Sonic game in years. Waaay better than Frontiers.
- Ys X Nordics, haven't finished it but so far I am really enjoying it.
My GOTY is Final Fantasy VII Rebirth ❤ 💪
For me
1: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
2: Infinite Wealth
3: Slient Hill 2
4: Dragon Quest 3 Remake
5: Stellar Blade
6: Metaphor Refantazio
The weebo beebo is strong in you.
Unicorn Overlord is spot on
For me my games of the year are Sandland, Metaphor Refantazio, Unicorn Overlord, and Stellar Blade
Great list of games. I think you have a lot of fans wondering what you thought of the game awards game reveals. Enjoy the holidays first, and then your impressions on the show.
I spent this year collecting, playing, and finishing xbox 360 games. Probably will next year too.
It's amazing how polygon graphics can so perfectly capture Akira Toriyama's artstyle.
This is my top 3 ( i have Not Player everything
1. Astro Bot
2. Stellar Blade
3. Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2
What's wild to think about, Sega/Atlus put out 4 AMAZING JRPGS this year, Metaphor, Yakuza 8, P3, and SMT5 Vengence. I only had time for 2 of them this year alone, but as far as I can tell all 4 games are amazing. (Metaphor is my runner up for GOTY which was actually Astro Bot)

I have to add one that you completely glossed over and that is Trails into Daybreak even though literally all of the boss battles are stupidly easy. That might just be the difficulty I am on though. Being able to spam S crafts in boss battles for quick and easy victories is kinda broken in my opinion. I might have to rethink the difficulty level for Daybreak 2.

Mine were Metaphor and Astro Bot. I had to go with Astro Bot because my non gaming wife actually played it and we had a blast together.
Find a way to at least try *Helldivers 2!* No pvp, matchmakes you with helpful divers, has some of the best unscripted action moments in any game. Like playing a soldier inside a scene straight from Starship Troopers, some Aliens, and a dash of the war scenes from Terminator. I'll walk ya through it if you ever pick it up!
Metaphor Refantazio my goty. Path of Exile 2, Helldivers 2 and Visions of Mana. Some great games.
Some of my fav / best games this year include Dragon's Dogma 2, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Shadow of the Erdtree, Hades 2 and Stellar Blade!
Game of the year I think I’m going with Unicorn Overlord. Still need to pick up Metaphor. But my next purchase after Balarto is Going to be Animal Well.
Unicorn Overlord. Love me some Vanillaware.
I think for me Rebirth and Black Myth Wukong I had the most fun with, but currently playing POE2 and I am having a blast with it so far.
