January 2025 is a very packed month for video game releases. This is the most exciting January I can think of, maybe ever. There are tons of remasters, and our runners-up this month are both PC ports of PS5 exclusives.
When looking at 2024’s most disappointing video games, they’re mostly big budget titles. A lot of them are from developers with quality pedigree. Some are from established franchises. What’s curious about this list is that a lot of these games reviewed well.
November 2024 was a very similar month to October 2024, in terms of game release quality. There were lots of high profile games. The biggest titles of the month scored in the 75-85 range. And it was difficult to make a Bad section, because there were few games that scored poorly.
December 2024 has pretty slim pickin’s for video game releases. Because of the holidays, there are almost none in the second half of the month. But a few of December’s games are really anticipated.
October 2024 was such a crazy month for video game releases! There were so many, and such a high percentage had major hype behind them. A lot of these games scored in the 75-85 range. It was actually hard to create a Bad section this month, because everything was so good!
November 2024 isn’t as crazy good of a month as October 2024 for game releases, but October was probably the most stacked month of the year. November still has a lot of great releases.
The Jackbox Survey Scramble is the Jackbox series’ interesting take on Family Feud. It doesn’t have the same format as the TV show, but takes the idea of people answering surveys, then having the players guess what the most popular answers will be.
The Three Best (and Worst) Video Games from September 2024 is full of games that slipped under the radar, in a month of huge releases. Most of the big titles scored well, but not as well as these three gems.
October 2024 is the best month for video game releases in as long as I can remember! We have to have 3 runners-up this month, all of which would have easily been in the Top 5 any other month.
Only 2 months after Earth Defense Force 6’s North American release, we get the spin-off Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2.
