The LauraKBuzz Game of the Year Awards 2024

It's the end of the year. Here's the 18 games from the last 12 months I thought were most interesting. Only a small handful of them are games I have to disclose a conflict of intrest for, which I think is a pretty decent ratio honestly. 00:00 - Intro 01:30 - Indika 04:40 - Another Crab's Treasure 06:51 - Hellblade 2 09:11 - Shadow of the Erdtree 10:49 - Ode to Castlevania 13:42 - Thank Goodness You're Here 14:40 - Balatro 16:18 - Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown 18:35 - Pacific Drive 20:43 - Mouthwashing 23:43 - UFO 50 25:50 - Echoes of Wisdom 28:44 - Astro Bot 30:43 - Life is Strange: Double Exposure 33:50 - Dragon Age: The Veilguard 37:22 - Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth 39:18 - Metaphor Re:Fantazio 42:13 - Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth 45:47 - The Sujimon Rap
