The Best Games of 2024: Halfway Edition!

The road to the GOTY is paved with great games

Jul 12, 2024

We stand at the midpoint of 2024. Behind us, we see a towering pile of video games. We reach into the stack and pull something loose. It’s Balatro! We grab another game from the rubble! Like a Dragon! Together, the Besties retrieve the best games of the year from this mess and place them in hermetically sealed chambers where they will await final judgment in the annual Besties Besty Tournament. Join us, won’t you!
