no g*me has caught my interest the whole year so far
have no cool games been released?

Balatro
chill, fun, numbers go up type of game
you get to build completely normal decks of cards like in the above picture, that has nothing out of the ordinary about it
purchase a pair of pants that get stronger the more you wear them
You forgot the best part: the game is $15, with no DLC, no live service, and no micro-transactions. It's just a game. Like, literally just a video game. You pay money to the creator (one guy) and in return you get a game you can play that is fun to play. And it does not strain your graphics card. The only downside is how addictive it is.
Honestly the older I get, the less I buy new games. It gets easier to just say "oh yeah that game was fun, let's play it again." I think I've played two new games so far this year and neither of them actually came out in 2024.
This year has had an amazing start with indie titles so far imo. All cheaper than full blown triple A games.
And then rimworld is getting a new expansion, what more can you wish for?
Give us something to work with, and I'm sure people could recommend something for you. What genres do you like? What platforms do you play on? If on PC, do you have an above-average PC, etc.? Do you like multiplayer games? Single-player only? Etc
Maybe give us the last 2-3 games you did enjoy.
Depends on what you like to play but yeah I haven't bothered playing any games that came out this year except Balatro.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is cool, though there some things I wish were ironed out. Performance and such. Unicorn Overlord is cool, though their choice of releasing anywhere but PC is odd.
There's the Elden Ring DLC, Stalker 2 and Avowed coming out this year and I'm really not sure whether I should get too hyped about the latter two.
El Paso, Elsewhere
max payne shooter with vampires and werewolves, and the noirest, coolest, minimalist story i've seen in years where you're trying to kill your ex girlfriend, Dracula, before she ends the world.
Aba got released for season 3 of Guilty Gear Strive. It does seem like a lot of cool games and DLC are a little further out.
i pretty much exclusively play minecraft, factorio has racked up numerous hours as of late, GTA V i played through quite a bit, it's a pretty good open world sandbox, and unturned, again another open world sandbox.
Give me a true open world sandbox and i will be content for the rest of my life.
If you don't mind games that release with half their features that get patched in later because their spokesman is a habitual liar, check out Light No Fire. With the current condition of No Man's Sky I have to say I'm actually looking forward to this.
i see why you described it like that, it doesn't exist yet, lol.
I dont mind games that don't have a ton of features, especially if they build a really good open world environment, where you just don't need very many. You can often build your own game on your own time.
I finally played Dwarf Fortress Steam edition after buying it at launch and never touching it. It's just as good as Dwarf Fortress has always been, but a little more visual and coherent.
