13th Game of 2024 was The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Simply put I love this game. I love variety of way you can approach puzzles and combat. I someday hope we actually get voice acting in Nintendo Games. Other than that this may very well be my favorite Zelda game.
12th Game of 2024 was Visions of Mana. I really enjoyed this game, although I wish they would branch out more on the plot of games, felt very similar to Trials of Mana. Spell casting felt too slow, but Melee combat felt good. Overall a fun game and had some heartfelt scenes.
11th Game of 2024 was AI: The Somnium Files - nivanA Initiative. I love the humor in these games along with characters. I really hope we get a third game in this franchise. With that being said, this game didn't capture my attention as much as the original. Not sure why.
10th Game of 2024 was Persona 5 Royal. I absolutely loved this game and it makes me want to try and play 3 and 4. Characters were awesome. Combat was really fun and interesting. Biggest complaint was the item inventory system was terrible. Hope we see 6 sometime soon.
7th Game of 2024 was Trials of Mana. This was a pretty remake and fairly fun. However combat and story was too simple for me to justify trying to play it 2 more times to see the other story paths. I'm looking forward to the new Mana game in the summer.
6th game for 2024 was FF7: Remake. I wanted to like this game more than I did. I didn't particularly enjoy the combat system(played on the new system), I much preferred FF16 combat although I did enjoy being able to swap characters, but the NPC i didn't basically sat around.
4th Game of 2024 - Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Overall I loved this game. I think the gameplay made good QoL and improvements over Like a Dragon, however there were some major skill balance issues(looking at you Burning Arrow). Story felt weaker to me.
3rd Game of 2024 - Super Mario RPG. I loved this game back on the Super Nintendo, and the love and care it got for the remake for the Nintendo Switch is amazing. I truly hope we get a true sequel someday.
2nd Game of 2024 - Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I quite simply loved this game, I have never previously played other Yakuza games but the change in combat style made me try this one out. I loved the Characters, the randomness was amazing and parts made me emotional.
