2024 has been a great year for gaming, and I was able to play some of the big releases of the year, as well as many more from previous years. Like I do every year, here is my ranking of the best video games I have played in 2024. These are not games specifically released in 2024, but rather these are games that I played for the first time in 2024. Let's get into it.

Cultured Individual's Best of 2024

It is that time again where I get to look back at the year that was for this blog. I have had several interesting experiences in the year of 2024 from vacations, to local events, to video games, and everything in between. I want to highlight some of the memorable posts in 2024, as well as the posts I feel particularly proud about writing.

When I bought my PS5, there was a game pre-installed on the system called “Astro’s Playroom”, which was a tech demo for the PS5 controller. Outside of showing off the features of the controller, Astro’s Playroom was a pretty good game with its platforming and PlayStation secrets. At the time, I thought to myself “I would love to play a full-fledged Astro game”.

Random Thoughts: Canada vs. Suriname

DISCLAIMER: I wrote part of this post on the day of the match between Canada and Suriname at BMO Field. I know I am late on this considering the match happened weeks ago but I was trying to weave this match experience with some mental health thoughts, but I could not make it work.
