2023 is a tough act to follow, with IGN awarding 83 games a review score of 8 or higher last year, including five 10s, with games such as Baldur’s Gate 3, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom offering a couple of generational greats.
Now, in 2024, over 50 games have earned a spot on this list, such as the “Great” Black Myth: Wukong, Palworld, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, plus the “Amazing” Balatro, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, alongside the 10/10 “Masterpiece” which was Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree.
