These 2024 god games have a lot to live up to and they have to deliver the best life simulation, supernatural powers, and magical worlds in gaming if they hope to match the best games we had in the past like Spore, Black & White, and Populous. Evolution sims are a big theme but also managing and building civilizations, populations, and empire sims are on offer.

I hope we get some additional games inspired by Black and White. I had so much fun with those games and it honestly bothers me that there aren’t many games like it. I’ll forever remember the game whispering my name, making me think I was crazy 😂

[megmucklebones]

Black and white was amazing. Fond memories of playing that many years ago.

[Wauzmons]

Yay, another mention of my game!

Even if version 1.0 of Elysian Eclipse won't exceed Spore, which will very likely be the case, me and my team will keep expanding it with free updates, making it a little better every time! It has been a lot of fun working on this project so far. ^^

[Merohill]

Just a note on WorldBox - God Simulator there is a lot of delays due to the war in Ukraine but the dev is still actively working on it.

[PYRA]

I literally just want a Black and White 2 Remake with modern tech, QoL, and expectations.

[Ziplinz]

Populous and Black & White were my favorite god games to play back in the day. Looking forward to more games inspired by those in 2024.

[FIRESQUIDGAMES]

Thank you so much for mentioning Reus 2! We're so pleased to appear in such a well-curated video. We'll share more news on the release date soon!

[dateusz]

it is absolutely wild to me that we haven't gotten a game like Black & White. There's so much potential in the idea and with the today's technology you'd assume we'd at least have a bunch of failed attempts and maybe one that would be a spiritual successor. But to me even Fata Deum isn't picking it up, because to me what was the most Black & White about Black & White was the Creature. I'm left with playing the original games in loop forever I guess...

[martindevries]

What I miss in games is one that picks up the mechanic of Black and White's avatar's. With our current level of AI it would be much easier to have a game where in you raise and teach your own creature/thing to act on your behalf.

[VenomLion]

One of my yearly Christmas tradition is to binge these lists you make while adding games to my wishlist. Always looking forward to these every year, thanks for making these!

[Valdore]

Microcivilization is my friend's game, he works on it by himself, he gave me beta to try and I lost instantly 13 hours to it. That good it is! Thanks Gamerzakh to include it!

[exosproudmamabear]

I am still salty about ea buying Lionheads studios and killing them.We will never get another proper Black and white game ever

[Demonancer]

black and white 2 (never played 1) was actually my favorite city builder. It was so simple, but your cities could look impressive. The impressiveniss score with the high ground bonus and diminishing returns was great.

every city builder or colony sim nowadays is way too gritty ;v I don't care what "Adam" is good at or what his skills are

[zofifi]

The main reason for people not liking tribal and furder phazes in spore was that they were very very unfinished. Of ourse a lot of folks would prefer funny animals parts of game either way but also Spore was striped of the chance to reach it's full potential due to very rushed dedlines. Thanks EA.
I hope elysian eclipse will fix that. Crossing my fingers for the developers.

[RuskiVodkaaaa]

crazy how nearly 10+ years later and Spore still has such a huge effect on this genre. I know this has been said a million times but it is a tragedy that EA killed Maxis Studio...imagine what a Spore 2 on Unity 5 would be like? Legit a dream game and it's so sad we will never get Spore 2 unless someone pays EA a shit ton of money to take the IP away from them.

[jellysquiddles]

Thanks for the nice video! In fact Thrive looks exactly like something I've been wanting for a long time!

My favorite was the classic Black & White! Nothing was better than ripping out a few trees, putting them on fire with the fireball, place a large bolder on it, wait till it's glowing hot and pick it up / fling it toward the enemy temple! 🤣🤣They never see these long range artillery strikes coming...

[SabacoCoyote]

Why hasn't anyone just converted Black and White into VR as a mod project or something? God games were literally MADE for the VR platform- so much so, they even included a virtual representation for your hand in the games. Populus made the UI appear as if you were standing over a table looking down onto the world which is a cool idea for interacting with a world in VR.

[mercster]

One game I had a lot of fun with in the 90s was Creatures. Little creatures that had genetics, biochemistry and a simple neurological system, they would play and eat and mate and all this stuff. Wandered around in a kind of terrarium. You could teach them basic commands... it was a very interesting game. The last one was ages ago, once in awhile I look to see if anyone has made something like it but nothing hits the mark.

[person]

Thrive is criminally underrated, it easily has the most potential out of all the games in the list by far
Plus, even though it will take a decade or more to be finished, by the time aware stage is complete it will already be the mother of all evolution games with the amount of possibilities

[raffaelechinotti]

16:27 me trying to remember that game similar to this "doodle god universe" where you combine basic elements to make more elements to combine: *meme dude thinking intensely*

(it's doodle god, it was an old flash game, there were also doodle devil, but kinda the same games)
