Happy Fathers Day Johnny!! Thanks for the video, now take the rest of the day off!! 🤘🏻❤️
LOL Thank you!
Unicorn Overlord is easily my favorite so far.
Happy Father's Day man,my favorite games so far from this year are Unicorn Overlord,Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden,Prince of Persia,Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door,,Berserk Boy,Eiyuden Chronicle 100 Heroes,Princess Peach and Shiren The Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island. All of these games have been absolute blasts for me this year.
Stellerblade rocked and the only new game I bought this year! Having a 5 month old son impacts you're gametime lol
Buy ff7 rebirth
Rebirth is ass dont listen to him
Tell me about it.. having a 2 and 4 year old really limits game time as well but us dads make time.. happy Father’s Day :)
Impacts game time? How u mean? Idk what you're talking about. Also, did your "impacting son" problem cut your game time by half, a third, a fourth of your time during games?? I'm a little bit curious....
I haven't had a ton of time to play games this year, but I was obsessed with Octopath Traveler 2 for a couple of months. Fantastic game.
Yes! I was kept busy with octopath 2. Beautiful game
FF7 Rebirth has been my goty so far
me too
Absa frekin lutely
Same, loved every minute...well, except for the Moogle parts that got annoying later on 😂
Has the performance mode been fixed? Man I tested the demo and decided to skip the game after getting a massive headache.
@@alpharorschach8708 yes
0:18 this has been like my catchphrase for the last few years 😂
-Prince of Persia
-StellarBlade
-Unicorn Overlord
-Hellblade 2
-Alone in the Dark
just got alone in the dark. hope its good. Love the actors.
I felt like the first Hellblade was much better but there were still some good moments in 2.
@@icedmosquito109 i has mixed on steam...
Alone in the Dark!? I thought the game was absolutely awful what did you enjoy about it out of curiosity?
@@TheBrownLambThe Classic Horror Atmosphere of the Game was hunting till the End.
Unicorn Overlord took me back to Shining force on sega. That's a gem
You and your content relaxes me so much idk why but ty :)
I'm just going back, and playing all the classic titles I missed growing up. Thats the glory of having a gaming PC. I just beat Grandia 1, I just started the Lunar series, Suikoden, Shining force 1, and 2........and Im absolutely loving it. Grandia was just so damn good.
Granblue Fantasy was really fun and I loved the pacing and exploration. It was a game you could just play for an hour or two a night and feel like you had a great adventure. It impressed me graphically too and the boss fights were so creative and epic. Loved Unicorn Overlord as well and it was my first tactical strategy RPG experience. Big fan of Vanillaware since the beginning with Odin Sphere and GrimGrimoire. And I'm currently playing Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, which I'm loving despite a few minor frustrations. Gives me all the old school RPG warm and fuzzies.
I played like 150 hours of it without realizing! Was a blast for me too.
Love you dude! Hope you have a wonderful father's day. I put sandland on my wishlist. Not in the right mood now but I truly love Toriyamas artwork so I'll definitely will pick this up along the road ❤
Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth is my favourite game this year and it probably will remain so at the end of the year, it was a great send off for Kiryu and Ichiban is still as great and funny as ever, i can't wait to see where the series goes next and i do wish that Like A Dragon Kenzan would get localised finally
Stellar blade was better than I was expecting and it had great depth to its combat mechanics.
Agreed
Way better than it had any right to be
Gameplay was fantastic - kind of underwhelmed by the writing / voice acting but hope they can improve on that in their next game
well it's mostly fromsoft combat
@@sumetal405bro it’s even better than sekiros combat
Genuinely made me happy to see you’ve uploaded this! Love your videos 🙂 I’ve only played one game released this year (Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden)!
Just beat TOTK, 250 hours, an entire year of playing. It was a fabulous experience. I’m glad it’s over though too! Because I’m looking forward to finishing Hogwarts Legacy PS5 and diving into Metroid Prime remastered on my upcoming vacation ☀️ 🌴 🌊
Yeah TOTK was an awesome experience. And Metroid Prime Remastered was a fantastic game. Play that game 10 times last year ago.
Dang, I put the bulk of the same number of hours into the game within a few months 😳
@@JohnnyRamirez86 Nice, i'm wondering how much i'll get used to the 3D graphics... any motion sickness or fine?
@@RPGreg2600 haha yeah i'm sure a lot of people did... i was just steadily playing evenings from like 9:30pm-11:30pm most week nights and a few sundays.
@@JGRICH61 It's fine. The only part where people kinda complained was the heat visor that gave them motion sickness but I thought it was fine.
Thank you for recommending Sand Land. 👍 I was skeptical about it before.
Thanks Johnny! Great way to start Father's Day!
Absolutely loved Granblue Fantasy Relink. A lot of post game stuff to fight bosses even though a lot of them are the same. The combat is addicting
Banishers Ghosts of New Eden is my personal favorite this year so far. I was so much in the mood for this type of game.
Sand Land is incredible and really keeps building in scope as you play it. It’s always adding in new stuff and the story was so good.
Sales are down because people don’t want to spend 70$ USD on a video game when inflation is skyrocketing. I’ll wait for a Black Friday deal and get it for half off.
Or just feast on cheap old games. I will buy 2024 releases in 2028 😊
Or maybe most games now are the same, with only a few exceptional standouts. It now seems every game now is a giant open world with the same action, derivative characters, same 7 type of missions, and derivative story that stretches waaaaaay too long. That is why I am thankful for smaller devs that take risks and try something new, whether it be ultra successful or a flop. They are still trying new things.
Yeah prices for many people hurt and feel overkill. I wait for sales on physicals and even use MS reward points to make prices even cheaper. 95% of my PS5/switch physicals were under $50 probably half were bought under $25.

The first FF7 remake was an atrocity in my opinion
Happy Sunday 😎
Really want to play Nine Sols
Hopefully it comes to consoles soon
Granblue relink is definitely my favorite game this year as it definitely hit the monster hunter itch for me, its story is definitely short but it basically just acts as a tutorial and the game really opens up afterwards with all the different builds you can do with your characters and the higher difficulty fights were absolutely amazing.
I am actually more enticed by the fact that people say its shorter. I know its counterintuitive as its less bang for your buck. I am not one to quit a game until I finish it. I just finished Persona 3 Reload and it was a great game but a monster time commitment. I will have to pick up Granblue!
Spot on with Stellar Blade! I was hesitant to buy it, but I am so glad I did in fact played it back to back three times to get all the endings!
Happy Father's Day to the OG Johnny Millennium! 🍻🍻👏👏
Granblue fantasy relink, Undernight 2, and Tekken 8 have been my favorites so far. Great video Johnny! Happy Father's day!
Happy father day Johnny and great video and stellar blade is great
Happy Fathers Day. I may have lost my job this week but hyped about this video! Stay Awesome
Hopefully a better opportunity will come your way!
Wish you the best. You got this.
Just want to say great video Johnny! & Happy Fathers Day to you and everyone here ✊🏽
Stellar Blade FF7 Dragons Dogma 2 Infinite Wealth and Sand Land were all amazing. Currently playing Banishers and I’m loving it too.
I feel game sales are suffering because new releases are WAY too expensive. Most people I know wait for a big price drop.
and also because we all have a huge backlog
@@seraphim.angel. Yes, and not enough time to play through the backlog. Especially with how long so many games are.
So true, the quality of games is excellent at the moment but asking for £100 for a new release in a time when we are hard up for cash just isn’t right. That’s why the Indy scene is doing so well. In my opinion. New games should be £50 max! And don’t even get me started on leaving content out and making us pay extra 😂
I just don't like a lot of the games. I buy and support the ones I like. Such as persona 3 reload, unicorn overlord, I'll be getting astro bot and metaphor.
@FizzWizard your right! Some micro transactions/DLCs aren't priced so eff'ing "micro".
I'm not up to date on many games, but I heard good things both from you and the community about Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes and it's on sale so I'll be picking that up tomorrow.
Johnny sure does love his tank games lol
I learn to play the Cosmo Canyon theme on my flute and recorder.
I put my controller down 30 years ago and today on the same place just to listen to that native music.
So far I've only played Mario vs Donkey Kong and Thousand Year Door remakes. Both fantastic.
Great video! Happy Father's Day!
Happy Father’s Day bro! Nice video!
Happy Father’s Day John!! Hope you and your family had a wonderful day. Always love watching on Sundays, and getting to catch up. Really looking forward to Metaphor Refantazio!! Thanks for all you do!!
Happy Father’s Day, Johnny. Great content as always!
That is a solid line up Johnny! I bought half the games you've listed
I can’t wait to dive into Sandland! I know I’m gonna be complelty obsessed and immersed in the world! It looks fantastic and has so much to do!! Your passion for the game has made me want to play it even more!! And Persona 3 is another one I’ve been dying to try! It looks so unique, the story seems amazing and the menus like you said wow!! It looks so crisp and fun! It would be my first Persona game! Love your channel! ☺️
Happy Father's Day!! Thanks for all the great videos and sharing your life with all of us. Have an amazing day with your family. 🎉
Totally agree about great looking characters 👍
AMAZING SHIRT
Hey Suzi! Two of the very best in the same room 🥹
What a year man!
Happy Fathers Day Johnny and all the other dads out there 🖖🏻
Right there with you on art style.
Happy Father's day Jhonny I'm on a PS2 binge right now with Radiatta Stories and MS Saga
Matawan I love Radiata Stories ❤
How is radiata stories? I haven't played it yet but it looks interesting
@@jameskozy7254 it's great fun with the setting is IMHO top medival fantasy the characters are endearing and charming. Best of all its just a fun world to explore.
Thanks for sharing your games so far. What a quality list. You are a treasure my friend. Take care.
He has so many good choices here and OMG - I was looking at getting Sand Land as he mentioned it!!! ❤
Sand Land is so underrated, and almost no one is talking about it in my circle. Action rpg, with tank combat, exploration, awesome characters and story, even town building. Just an all around great game. Awesome list, John! Happy father's day, dude!
Happy Father’s Day Johnny and to all my brothas putting in that work day in and day out
Unicorn Overlord and Paper Mario too much love there
Your taste in games is so close to mine I could just play your recs and be happy.
Here's hoping that you had an amazing Father's Day. You deserve it! I am currently playing the heck out of Grim Dawn. I do have Sandland installed on my Xbox, but I currently can't get past that first sand dragon.
Great stuff as always but I must know where you got that shirt 😅
I've only gotten a few hours in Stellar Blade but it is definitely a great one. I just need the time to really dig into it, its the kind of combat that I can't put down for more than a day, or I lose all skill... so I'll probably need to start over at this point lol.
Currently playing Fire emblem engage and I'm loving it, thanks for the recommendation Johnny, also doing doom 2016 in between grabbed it on a sale, so even tho they are old they are my favorites of 2024 so far lol😅
Rebirth game of the year followed by Stellar Blade
Same here.
Ive put over 60 hours into Brotato this year haha. Its in the vein of Vampire Survivors but with some really neat and addictive mechanics that make it fun in its own right.
Only played the demo for Unicorn Overlord but I was really impressed with it, looking forward to picking up the full game.
Been making my way through my backlog. So far: Blasphemous, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Fallout: New Vegas, The Bug Butcher, and Divinity: Original Sin.
Happy Father’s Day Johnny! Great list and I felt much the same about these great games. Unfortunately Sand Land was a big disappointment for me. I’m one of those that tried to enjoy it, but just got bored with it and gave up. It does have a lot of cool gameplay ideas going for it. P3 Reload is up there for me too, but damn that game went on about 20 hours too long. By then end I just wanted to get it over with and move on to something else.
Happy fathers day man
Your passion for gaming is so refreshing, I'm 57 now but been a gamer/Collector for the past 30 yrs, i do have times where i totally go off gaming for a period then bam it's back again, think that's normal with all gamers but i also think too much & spoilt for choice don't help, i remember the first time i bought my first ever console, the SEGA MEGADRIVE & games back then were scarce so you played one till you finished, think it was Aladdin, then i was waiting patiently for another decent game to come which was jungle book, then Lion king, such good memories but i use to complete games back then, atm I'm going through Demon Souls, Bloodbourne & Dark Souls & keeping to a minimum of 3 instead of jumping from game to game, i have such a huge collection but hardly completed any 😂
So far I think the only new game I’ve played (and still grinding through) is FF7 Rebirth! Been enjoying taking my time with this one
I love your shirt!
Johnny I gotta say that you remind me of myself as far as how you look at games. I'm 42 and have been playing since nes Mario Zelda etc. I like games for what they are. I'm not over critical and I don't focus on everyone else's expectations. I just like to have fun and I can find something good about most games. I'm a huge jrpg fan and we are spoiled right now.
Happy Father’s Day!! Thanks for what you do, Johnny.
I don't exactly have one yet. Been very busy. However I do want to wish you a Happy Father's Day from one father to another.
HFD! Gotta say SMT5 Vengeance might be my GOTY (BUT REBIRTH and Indika are also great games)
Happy Father’s Day, bud! Prince of Persia: Lost Crown was a huge surprise for me this year. I wasn’t expecting much but I picked it up cheap on an Amazon sale and was honestly blown away.
So far nothing from the first half of the year stood out for me that much to be honest, I'd classify this as a slower year for gaming xD
My top two this year are Like a Dragon and Infinite Wealth, however I have a certain fondness to Grandblue Fantasy Relink because in the end game after the story, you can literally set up your party to grind for you while you are afk so it allows you to play a game while doing other tasks which is nice.
Absolutely agree Johnny I absolutely game as an escape and would rather be good looking characters than someone like myself haha.
Only time I try to play a game as myself is Fallout and what I feel like I’m good and bad at.
Also where did you get that shirt?! That’s amazing!
“Unicorn Overlord” and it’s not even close.
Just waiting for the Pc version;( will buy it at full price and day 1 if it comes
Really good game, i got the Collectors edition, Love the game, was glued to it, lucky for me i was doing some work traveling for 12+hrs, so i just played nonstop
I liked the game but persona 3 reload is my goty so far
As a fan of 90s/2000s anime Granblue Fantasy Relink really hits the spot. It feels like a love letter to 16-32 bit RPGs/anime.
Happy Fathers Day mate!!!
Just finished playing Tales of Kenzera: Zau, and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I didn't have super high expectations, but I really enjoyed the combat, story, and music.
I've been playing Contra Operation Galuga a lot on the PS5. Having a lot of fun😊😊😊
Happy Father’s Day Johnny !!!! Have a great day dude ! Love your channel Brother.
For any gamers on a budget: check if your local library lends video games. Many do, and it’s a great way to try out a game before buying.
Been playing some new ish games, nothing new yet but ao far my favorites have been Armored Core 6 and Bomb Rush Cyberfunk and Stray. Played the two Judgment games and they are fantastic with some goofyness to it. Also finished Gravity Circuit and Hardspace Shipbreaker, solid games.
happy fathers day man!!!
Not GoTY but Eiyuden Chronicles is very cool...70 hours in and still going..❤
The RE2 shirt is the coolest
I remember GamePro magazine or EGM magazine had a section with a long list of games (1990s) with the prices and some of those games were like 70 or 90 i think. I think one of those games was Phantasy Star 3 for the Genesis.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has been my favorite game so far, this year.
Just picked up “Sand Land” on sale!👍
lost crown is my JAM
Bought the collector's edition of Unicorn Overlord, my first ever collector's edition but it came with a card game.
I wasnt making the same mistake I made with Odin Sphere.
Looking forward to some of these games coming to the next Switch console.
Edit: Unicorn Overlord is the best game I've played this year right next to Prince of Persia
I noticed your capture quality is really dark?
Unicorn Overlord and since I just got my physical copy in the last 30 days and didn’t pick it up on digital - Sea of Stars! Wow! That’s been a great run as well!
My GOTY so far is Tomb Raider 1-3. Played the first for 90 hours to get all the trophies and loved every minute
Stellar blade has been a suprise. And probably my top for goty so far. The story and music is also very underated! Also Dragon Dogma and FF7 were great! Looking forward to games like Black Myth.
I love that rebirth so much
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is such a great game! Love it.
Animal Well is my game of the year so far, but I can see Metaphor: ReFantazio taking that spot!! Happy Father's Day!!!
Unicorn overlord was awesome! The most like the Ogre battle series of any game I've played.
