That countdown screen is so white like a flashbang, completely blinds me.

[jeinnerabdel]

Thanks for putting this list together. I was looking for games to play and this feels like quick gameplays to check.

I'll definitely give it a try to your #19!

[ChefMychel]

Watching Gamranx feels like weekend cartoons and cereal 😊

I remember these type of videos on TV back in 2009. GINX TV. Only Gameplay, loved it so much. Im glad your videos are similar to those i used to watch back in the days but with with modern games.

Great list as always. Thanks gameranx! One I love and would have included is Abiotic Factor which is currently sitting at an overwhelmingly positive rating on Steam. Its a blast and multiplayer as well.

[NgotachYTG]

Thanks, can add some to the wishlist now :)

[ARIXANDRE]

Thank you, Infinite Wealth, for not giving me time to play the other 19 games on the list..

[Seisachtheia]

Ultros, GranBlue, Helldivers, Pacific Drive, PalWorld, FF7, DD2, Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Penny’s Big Break, Persona Reload and Haunti

ive personally really been enjoying dave the diver atm. though its not even a 2024 game, idk its cozy

[KrsJin]

These are good selections :)

This year is nuts. If it stopped right now I would feel content.

[AsiaAziatics]

In just the first half of this Year, Ghost of Tsushima PC Edition and Elden Rings DLC Shadow of the Erdtree have yet again ate their lunch and have bested their contenders in every other way.

[jpbenn]

Great list, but I was a bit surprised that No Rest for the Wicked did not make the cut.

[Sam-Fisher]

Hype for metal gear solid delta snake eater

[zackw]

I know it literally just dropped like a week ago, but I was a bit bummed to not see Fallen Aces make at least honorable mention. Really good, heavy Immersive Sim vibes in that one. And happy to see DD2 make #1!

[jase]

Not mentioning Unicorn Overlord at all is criminal

[dannypassion]

My top 3 from this list are: Tekken 8 with over 4k battles, PoP the lost crown and #1 Shadow of the Erdtree
