A lot of people have asked me lately what I think game of the year was for 2024. This was a hard question to answer because there were some good games released this year. Black Myth Wukong, Stellar Blade, Indiana Jones and the great circle, among others. But the game that really did it for me this year was…

Space Marines 2.

SM2 has everything you’d want in a great video game. Gorgeous graphics, excellent gameplay, great voice acting and a kick butt soundtrack. It’s brutal and unforgiving, a solid wild ride to the end. The only thing I would change, I’d make it longer. It’s not short at all, I just wanted more. Even the multiplayer is fun but I don’t really play it that much to be honest with you. For me, this game is better experienced single player.

If you haven’t played it yet you owe it yourself to do so. Like I said, SM2 hits all the buttons. You really feel like a bad ass space marine. Giant hulking armor, pulse pounding weapons fire. Just thinking about it makes want to play it again. I had a great time with it, and I hope you do too. I played it on the series X but it’s also on PS5 and PC. No matter where you play, play it.
