2024 has been an amazing year for the gaming industry so far, and it is inevitably going to get better as studios prepare to release many anticipated titles in the coming months, such as Black Myth: Wukong and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
However, there are many titles released this year that deserve more recognition from players than they got at the time of release. Starting with Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn, the following are a few video games that gamers are missing out on.
5. Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
Released recently on July 18th, 2024, Flintlock is one of the many first-day titles that Xbox Game Pass offered to its subscribers. The game also explores the rarely touched genre of Souls-lite games, which helps bring a unique identity to the title while maintaining the same level of combat mechanics and techniques that have mesmerized fans over the years.
4. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Bringing back the iconic Prince of Persia franchise, this game released back in January was unfortunately overseen by gamers at the time of release. It also has a unique take on the signature time-bending mechanics that the video game series is known for, something that gamers will have to check out for themselves.
3. Stellar Blade
Stellar Blade remains one of the few PlayStation exclusives to be released in 2024. While it is unfortunate that the game is not available on different platforms, select users with a PS5 need to check out this game as soon as possible.
It has also managed to gather a small community within just a few months of release, which should be a testament enough to the amazing experience it offers to the players, who have already started demanding a sequel to the game.
2. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II
Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is another entry on this list that, unfortunately, remains locked behind exclusivity. Released on May 21st, 2024, the game is a sequel to Hellblade I, which was released back in 2017.
Not only have the developers made surreal use of the new Unreal Engine 5 while producing the game, but it also features binaural tech, delivering an audio experience like no other game in the industry and proving why Ninja Theory just does it better.
1. Spiritfall
Spiritfall is a roguelike title that offers an exciting blend of different elements and genres. Developed by Gentle Giant Games, it offers a unique experience that combines the fluidity of a platform title with the challenging progression of a roguelike title.
The game, which offers intriguing fast-paced combat is unfortunately only available on Steam, but it will surely arrive on other platforms soon enough if given the attention it deserves by gamers.
2024 is one of the best years in the gaming industry so far and is going to become better as fans witness the launch of much-awaited titles such as the aforementioned Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and many more.
