2024 was a stellar year for games, whether you wanted to hang out with shooty McSpace fascists, or fall in love with gaming's most eclectic mix of genres
Briefly

No Rest for the Wicked is the new release from the Ori games' Moon Studios, and it's easily the team's most ambitious undertaking ever. This is a game that flirts with different genres and does the work to make each of them work within the context of its world. It's part ARPG, isometric action game with Soulslike elements, a light town management sim, a survival/crafting game, and there was even room for a loot element.
I am genuinely quite surprised I haven't seen much talk about No Rest for the Wicked in the end-of-year discourse. It's not been nominated for any Keighley's, and it almost feels as if many of us don't know it exists.
Though things have been improved since, the initial launch had a scattering of ideas, many of which couldn't quite find harmony in the (admittedly difficult) genre medley Moon is going for.
