10 Best Video Games Of 2024 You Didn't Play

[@hendrix4207]

Dude really compared Star Wars Outlaws world to Red Dead Redemption 2s world.. literally the most detailed and well thought out sandbox in a video game to date.

I think the Prince of Persia game came out when Ubisoft was being known as the game company who said "Get used to not owning your games."

[@jasewildheart]

Except they never said that.

[@jbzhummerh2gamer]

@jasewildheart Yes they did

[@NickB4NEbody]

The one guy said that IN ORDER FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO TAKE OFF, gamers would have to get used to not owning their games He also pointed out that many people subscribe to Ubisoft+ for a month to try a new game, then cancel the subscription and just buy it, and Ubisoft are happy with that.

[@jasewildheart]

@jbzhummerh2gamer no they didn't..

[@benderrodriguez2008]

@@jasewildheart "One of the things we saw is that gamers are used to, a little bit like DVD, having and owning their games. That's the consumer shift that needs to happen. They got comfortable not owning their CD collection or DVD collection. That's a transformation that's been a bit slower to happen [in games]. As gamers grow comfortable in that aspect… you don't lose your progress. If you resume your game at another time, your progress file is still there. That's not been deleted. You don't lose what you've built in the game or your engagement with the game. So it's about feeling comfortable with not owning your game. "I still have two boxes of DVDs. I definitely understand the gamers perspective with that. But as people embrace that model, they will see that these games will exist, the service will continue, and you'll be able to access them when you feel like. That's reassuring. They said that and then they went into peoples account and deleted a game

[@manaash4316]

Pacific Drive was a lot of fun. The story seemed to end kinda abruptly, but I really enjoyed it overall. Very quirky and fun.

[@Sebs739]

What about Nine Sols? If you are waiting for Silksong, it's a fun way to pass the time.

[@john41690]

Can't a successful channel like this take 2-5 minutes to put in time stamps or "chapters" as YT calls it. Pretty dumb that solo unknown KZbin are able to care and put in chapters in their videos but a big channel can't even be bothered to respect people who watch their videos.

The 2024 Prince of Persia game has finally achieved that “Buy before it’s rare” status. That was in RECORD time!

[@eddiesec]

too lazy to check when they were released, but two lesser known games that i played this year and impressed me greatly: lorelei and the laser eyes, and crow country.

[@Xtraflossy]

Hey, there's one person who said they liked flintlock. First time I've heard that said. 4.4 user score now, don't know if that's better or worse then at release

[@OversoulGaming]

I don't hate what I've played of it so far. The premise at the very least is intriguing. Also, you can't trust user scores on Metacritic because they let people who never played the game review it which leads to People review bombing games for things like having a black main character. You should have to be able to prove you played the game before you can review it

[@Toledotourbillion]

Been sinking hours playing Stalker 2. Honestly my back catalogue is so big I can't venture to try other things.😂

[@boj666]

FINALLY one of you has mentioned trepang²

[@Teraphas]

Biggest thing with the battle pass for me is that the challenges that give the most currency encourage you to try other characters. But each character has systems to reward you for becoming proficient and spend time with them. So it can feel like you have to sacrifice one to do the other. But it being new I guess having the first season encouraging you to try lots of heroes is a better goal to find the play styles you like

[@stevem3997]

Unicorn Overlord should've been on this list imo. It's an excellent game and is my 2nd favourite game this year after Metaphor. It was a mild success. But it feels like it's disappearing into obscurity way too quickly. And the fact that it didn't even appear in this video helps prove my point.

[@KaosHitman]

Flintlock felt like it had buggy gameplay. After 2 hours I moved forward. Good that it was on Game pass and didn't have to pay separately for it.

[@UKDarkJedi]

Going to massively diasgree with Outlaws being on here. I played it, and absolutely did not care for most of it's core gameplay, mechanics or even story. Felt devoid of anything that made it "Star Wars", and if it was set in any other universe it would have been ignored by the industry as a whole.

[@TheTodd5761]

Respectfully, i couldnt disagree with you more. I put just over 100 hours into it and loved it. Different strokes for different folks 🤷

[@Marmagon]

3:20 Why is no one playing these games? They were not on the plattform where most people, who like these type of games, were. STEAM! It is now on Steam, but waaaaaaay too late.

[@BartOppeel]

Pacific Drive, I hardly ever finish any game I start, but this game... Played it 2 months straight and even 100%'ed it, game is amazing !

[@ashtonturner2862]

Thank you for the list, but timestamps would be useful for this video

[@paulblake7889]

Nine sols should be on this list. One of the best games of the year and most people don’t even know of it

[@chadddavis4750]

Who didn’t play Prince of Persia? I had the preorder so got to play it a few days early. I straight no-lifed this game because it was amazing

[@Ranemoraken]

I'm doing pretty well, I played 4 of your 10 this year. Only one of them wasn't on my radar (Nobody Wants to Die) Apparently, I shall have to put that on there. There's Prince of Persia DLC that came out a month or so ago, by the way. Really cheap price too. And challenging. And just as fun.

[@bendybenbenderson]

Thanks to WCG I can confirm Prince Of Persia was a great game and I currently have Nobody Want To Die & Pacific Drive currently sat on my PS5 homescreen. I just need to get out the loop of Graveyard Keeper and I'll be all over them (please send help!)

[@OversoulGaming]

I've played almost all of these. But that shouldn't surprise either of you gentlemen. There's a lot of overlap in our tastes clearly. And before anyone in the comments jumps down my throat, yes I also played the big games this year like Astrobot, Silent Hill, Metaphor, Final Fantasy, Zelda and so forth. That's besides the point

[@glorbog]

[@MiamiSunrise]

Kunitsu-Gami was a sales flop according to Capcom. No physical release and as well very little marketing blended into something so few played aside from maybe some people on Gamepass. I feel like a bunch of its failure was up to Capcom under-pushing this thing to try and get any foothold.

Flintlock ? Are you serious? That game felt like it was trying to emulate GoW but the bosses had some of the worst AI I've seen in recent years. As for SW outlaws. That game is a repetitive boring buggy slop fest. You guys need to try other games.

[@OversoulGaming]

They have played other games. They have played astrobot they have played Silent Hill 2 remake they have played metaphor. That's not what this list is about. Read the title again

[@EtsuMatsuya]

Why, why do you never post a link to a list of names for all these games? It would be helpful if we had something that was easy to copy paste and use to google these games. I get you don't want to list them all in the description since then no one would watch the video. But least put a link to a google doc with a password towards the end of the video. People get a list of usable names, and are going to watch the video to get the password. Win win, no?

[@chovymasters7577]

Just skip to the end of the video and get the password

[@EtsuMatsuya]

@@chovymasters7577 Yeah, but that is the thing; if they don't put it right at the end, but somewhere randomly in the middle or end-ish, and made sure it was not on one of the preview shots, then you have to watch it to know it. Also if they didn't put it on screen but made it a quick blurb like "password "pasta" then it is harder to skip to without watching. The only issue is getting a moderator to delete comments with the password in them, at least for the first 24 hours or so when you get the most views.

[@OversoulGaming]

Can't you just, you know.... pause the video when the text comes up on screen and then open a new tab and Google it? Are you really so lazy that you need a copy paste feature spoonfed to you? Can't handle a few keystrokes? this is the laziness that the movie Wall-E warned us about

I really enjoyed Flintlock and completed it on game pass, think it got very underrated, played the demo of Prince of Persia as well and was very impressed

[@DannyboyO1]

Flintlock: when you understand each boss's mechanics, it's brilliant. I did have to look up how to deal with one boss move, because you're supposed to use a long gun to interrupt it. And the final boss would have been a lot easier with the gauntlet that extends your melee range. Really solid game. The moment where I had the greatest respect for it though, first optional superhard boss. Because the reward for it was an extremely optional melee weapon that buffs up with your XP combo, based on you doing a variety of moves without getting hit. So it's a weapon that is only a reward for the kind of player who can handle a boss that can two-shot you and you *really* need to parry the heck out of him to win. And it doesn't require any special material to upgrade, just your XP/cash. So it isn't part of the normal upgrade economy. That's clearly intentional. It told me SO much about the way the dev team thinks, and that they were allowing for a high skill ceiling, but not making it mandatory.

[@CurstNecromancer]

To be honest, I don't like these videos. Scott and Josh alone are good in their own right but when they release a video together I can't be bothered to listen. I appreciate they're trying something, but it's like News Room stuff where they aren't really looking at each other. I don't know, I just don't like it. The title gets me and when I hear them together I just leave. EDIT: They looked at each other in this video. Not in any of the others I watched..

[@Mentalrift]

No One Wants to Die was the biggest waste of money. There are no stakes; it's impossible to not succeed. The voice acting was awful and the characters tried so hard to convince us that there was a chemistry there, but there was less than zero chemistry. It was a walking simulator. It never once let go of your hand and let you play and figure things out and mess things up. Don't buy it, watch a play-through in KZbin and you're going to get more out of the game than actually playing it. Don't waste your money on that pretentious game that does nothing but jerk off in your face while asking you constantly "Isn't this SO COOL!?!?"
