Best of 2024

Published 31. december 2024

1000 x RESIST - my GOTY, beautiful storytelling, clever play with the medium
Felvidek - really funny JRPG set in medieval Slovakia
Helldivers 2 - dumb fun with friends, beautiful environments
Persona 5 & Metaphor Re:Phantasio - I finally tried this style of JRPG and i quite liked it
Path of Exile 2 - I had an absolute blast with this one... until i've hit a wall with one boss halfway through the campaign :(
Guardians of the Galaxy

Tatami
The Old Oak
Civil War
The Legend of Vox Machina
Arcane - although not as breathtaking as the first one, the second season was still very enjoyable

Lots of great boos this year, kinda hard to pick:

Revolutions - out of blue Mike dropped a new (11th) season about Martian Revolution. Plus, he annonced that it won't be the last and he'll be doing more seasons about revolutions in 20th century. Yay!
People's History of Ideas - very detailed history of the Chinese Revolution.
Mindscape - interviews with scientists from various fields
Tech Won't Save Us - tech critical interviews
Blowback (4th season) - very interesting history of the war in Cambodia

Bicycle - after i injured my knee on the spring ultramarathon, i bought a gravel bike as an attempt to give the knee some rest but stay in shape at the same time. I completely fell for it, even joined a local biking club and bought a road bike. I've become a living stereotype (MAMIL), but love it nevertheless :D
Tiger and Dragon - a board game that we played the most with kids this year
Critical - "proto" tabletop RPG that we also played with kids a lot. I'd say it's a bit too simplified, but it's zero prep and still quite enjoyable, the kids liked it.
