While I think over an hour is a bit too long for a video like this, I appreciate you highlighting little known games that break the mold of every other top games of the year videos. Keep that up.
All great picks!! My top 3 would have to be Persona 3 Reload, Stellar Blade, and Paper Mario with honorable mentions to FF7R2 and Infinite Wealth. Wanted to leave a comment since I’ve been loving the videos on this channel so very much!!
Great list. This might be the first time and last time ive ever seen Like a Dragon infinite as #1. I share similar taste in games and completely agree!
I feel " weird " because it seem i have to be one of the only ones who prefered Like a Dragon ( Yakuza 7 ) story over Infinite Wealth ? 😅 Like a Dragon ( which is one of my favourite gaming experience of all time along with Yakuza 0 ) had a better balance between serious themes/fun, whereas i found Infinite Wealth to be > many times and the ending was .. okey. I waited for IW for years and i felt dissapointed by the story, but everything else from the mini games, combat, Hawaï is very good and a superb improvement though.
@@michaelmacorso4479 For me Story comes First so i prefer Yakuza Like a Dragon ( Y7 ) but as i said in my previous comment, the Gameplay is far better in this one, although i did enjoy it very much in LAD. Each player will have his opinion, i personally préfère Yakuza Like a Dragon Story more, it was more impactful, meaningful.
@@michaelmacorso4479 Did you prefere Infinite Wealth story over Like a Dragon's ? Story in IW was > not grounded nor personal enough as opposed to like a dragon .. whzt do you think ?
Good stuff, My favorites are SMT V Vengeance, P3R, Paper Mario TTYD, ER Shadow of the Erdtree, and Stellar Blade. Honerable mentions to Killer Klowns and Dragons Dogma 2.
I enjoyed Persona 3 but nowhere near as much as 4 and 5. I played backwards from 5 so I may be missing something compared to someone who played in order.
4 and 5 definitely improved from 3 in many ways, so they're better games, but the reason why 3 has many fans is because of how much it impacted those who played it back then, and also it was the first Persona game to have the calendar system and basically the prototype of every modern Persona, 4 and 5 are pretty much improved versions of 3.
I recently found your channel I love it; Could you please add what platforms titles are available on in these bigger lists, just means I don't have to click off the video to find out 😏
Wow, so even though i have bought and tried quite a lot games of this year i somohow end up finishing only 2 games of 2024 which i guess i would rank as such 1. Rise of the Ronin 2. Outcast new behinning. Nonetheless great video my man, it looks you've been busy this year as the industry is getting bigger it looks like each year from now on is gonna be pretty huge.
FF7 Rebirth is my favorite GOTY. I’m absolutely HOOKED on Balatro right now, you should give it a try! It’s a card deck-based rogue-like that uses the base mechanics of poker
We have the same #1:) My top 5 so far for me 1- Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth 2- Sin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance 3- Tekken 8 4- Stellar Blade (I don’t own a PS5 tho, but I’ve played the game) 5- Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess
I’ve just platinumed rise of ronin. I skipped every cutscene and payed no attention to the story. Also am I the only one who had major pop in I’d be riding my horse and a building would just appear 10 foot from me
Me trys to play expedition's 😭 can't even get the first truck to move 😭😭😭😭. Not my kinda game but i can see how it could be fun. If you know what you're doing
I love prince of persia the lost crown so much 100 percent the game n got all the achievements for it. Easily the best ubisoft game since mario rabbits.
A game looking amazing will never be enough for me to enjoy a game all the way through, i need some creative gameplay choices or fun gameplay loops hellblade 2 is just so slow and on rails akdni cannot get thru it
@@ShisuiSamaare u sure? i enjoyed the dlc but p3r and infinite wealth are two of the best modern jrpgs. this just reeks of disingenuous elden ring fanboyism
To be honest dragon dogma 2 is a 7 out of 10 for me. Story was terrible, performance was awful side content is not good. I really wanted to love the game. Monster hunter rise is so much better
Best games so far. More to come in second half of the year. Also, "Best" in a group doesn't mean perfect. The top 10 in this list come close. But the first 15 are solid or at least honorable mentions.
Lmao Jonathan always says in between sentences “is this the best” or “or this the greatest… no” 😂😂😂 every video
I thought I was losing my mind I heard Balamb garden music and was taken back to my childhood. I love it..hope you get well soon dude.
Same. Song is so iconic.

Persona 3 reload, the thousand year door and the Elden ring dlc are my favourites
Have never played persona games but eldenring i agree on
Man I’m still playing all the 2023 games! 😂 but managed to do FF Rebirth, Tekken 8, and now Shadow of the Erdtree and loved all of them.
I never get tired of people singing the praises of infinite wealth. Such a beautiful amazing game. My favorite in the series n my game of the year.
All great picks!! My top 3 would have to be Persona 3 Reload, Stellar Blade, and Paper Mario with honorable mentions to FF7R2 and Infinite Wealth.

Jonathan never misses
The FF8 Soundtrack in the background hit me right in the nostalgia
Great list. This might be the first time and last time ive ever seen Like a Dragon infinite as #1. I share similar taste in games and completely agree!
To Me infinite wealth is my number one

@@Pablo-ig7tx story was worst with terrible villains. But gameplay is king n boy did it destroy yakuza 7

Adding Metaphor ReFantazio to the list
Always a good vid! Respect for diy! I hope u feel better!
Hey Jonathan I love your channel! Have you ever though about making a Backloggd account so your subs can see what games you have played/finished?
Hmmm on like how long to beat? Thought about it for sure right now I just have a note on my phone for all it lol
@@TotallyTubularJonathanyou should definitely do a video like that
@@TotallyTubularJonathanya sites like that!!
Good stuff, My favorites are SMT V Vengeance, P3R, Paper Mario TTYD, ER Shadow of the Erdtree, and Stellar Blade. Honerable mentions to Killer Klowns and Dragons Dogma 2.
My list so far:
1. Infinite Wealth 2. Rebirth 3. Stellar Blade
Wow, had never heard of Arzette before seeing this and now I have to get it, looks hilarious. On Sale too!
this year has been a little weak for games ive liked but another crabs treasure was such a special little game to me
I enjoyed Persona 3 but nowhere near as much as 4 and 5.
I played backwards from 5 so I may be missing something compared to someone who played in order.
4 and 5 are better. But man that has to be the best ending to a Persona game ever.
4 and 5 definitely improved from 3 in many ways, so they're better games, but the reason why 3 has many fans is because of how much it impacted those who played it back then, and also it was the first Persona game to have the calendar system and basically the prototype of every modern Persona, 4 and 5 are pretty much improved versions of 3.

Thank you TH-cam recommendation 🙏🏼 good content
Brother, great video but what the fuck are the timestamps for this video😂😂
Appreciate the timestamps my man
Lost crown is definitely my goty. As a huge metroid dread fan this feels like the first metroidvania since that can compete
The time stamps are messed up was trying to skip around for games I already played
Glad to see alone in the dark on here. Was super excited before it came out but all the bad reviews made me skip it, I’ll give it a try now!
Expeditions looks like Death Stranding in a pickup 😂
FF7 Rebirth is my favorite GOTY. I’m absolutely HOOKED on Balatro right now, you should give it a try! It’s a card deck-based rogue-like that uses the base mechanics of poker
Dragon's dogma 2 is awesome. Hope you try it. Definitely my goty so far. Smt 5 vengeance is my number 2
Dragons dogma 2 is incredible 🫡
@Hono1256dragon's dogma 2 is great what are you talking about!?
Day 1 of asking for a days of the week ranking
*Infinite Wealth, NCAA Football 25 or AC Shadows gonna be my GOTY 2024* 🙌
We have the same #1:)
My top 5 so far for me
1- Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth
2- Sin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
3- Tekken 8
4- Stellar Blade (I don’t own a PS5 tho, but I’ve played the game)
5- Kunitsu-Gami: Path Of The Goddess
W list. Finished IW and P3 a while back and been looking at SMT5 and Kunitsu-Gami as potential playthroughs. Looks really interesting
happy holidays!
Unicorn Overlord missing
Sand Land love :)
I think paper Mario and the thousand year door is the first paper Mario game I would beat.
Super paper Mario on the wii was also an amazing game, I highly recommend you play it if you haven't already
@@darrenarchibald5238 I did play the first level of super paper Mario super Mario galaxy is better on switch than the Wii in my opinion
I’ve just platinumed rise of ronin. I skipped every cutscene and payed no attention to the story.
Also am I the only one who had major pop in I’d be riding my horse and a building would just appear 10 foot from me
I love persona 5 and been on the fence with buying 3 reload, but maybe I’ll go buy it on Steam now.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is easily my favorite game this year so far!!!
Me trys to play expedition's 😭 can't even get the first truck to move 😭😭😭😭. Not my kinda game but i can see how it could be fun. If you know what you're doing
Is it me or do you have some kind of screen tearing issue in some of your footage?
How have you not played every single release? I’m on top of that 💩
I love prince of persia the lost crown so much 100 percent the game n got all the achievements for it. Easily the best ubisoft game since mario rabbits.
W video
I would say FFRebirth or Like a Dragon Infinite Wealth
A game looking amazing will never be enough for me to enjoy a game all the way through, i need some creative gameplay choices or fun gameplay loops hellblade 2 is just so slow and on rails akdni cannot get thru it
my list: Bladurs Gate 3 for ps5 x10
Please excuse the timestamps.
Dude recently had a stroke.
Great
Crazy that a DLC in 2024 ist still better than every major release
Shadow of the Erdtree is truly a masterpiece
the real question is if you even played any other games aside from SotE lol
@@yannispirou101 I did otherwise I couldn’t make the comparison
@@ShisuiSamaare u sure? i enjoyed the dlc but p3r and infinite wealth are two of the best modern jrpgs. this just reeks of disingenuous elden ring fanboyism
@@sleddinggybe142the fromsoft fanboyism is a little too prevalent these days
Your favourite games from last 5 years?
this list made me shit bricks
Prince of persia was up there with blasphemous
Honestly, The Witcher games are the most Polish games.
Johnathan how come you haven’t played Dragons Dogma 2 yet? It’s god like
Open world game burnout tbh. I will play it this summer though as it’s not a game I want to miss
To be honest dragon dogma 2 is a 7 out of 10 for me. Story was terrible, performance was awful side content is not good. I really wanted to love the game. Monster hunter rise is so much better
0:00 to 0:03??? What manner of gibberish was that?
"Howdie, my totally always as tubular gamers, we're back..." 😂😂 Did he just misspeak or is this some OG thing I don't know about hahaha
He just be saying that
Babe wake up
Helldivers? 😂
No game sucked me in like baldurs gate 3 has I’m still sucked into the game till today
😮😮😮
Like a dragon and Infinite wealth are the worst Yakuza games, can't believe they butchered a legendary franchise like this.
Really awesome to see wrath in here, i fuckin love boomer shooters
Wow this has been an awful year so far
Alright, so all the top 4 games are japanese! You really have it going for that japanese bullshit aren't ya ! 😅 Just kidding
Be careful when you say Emulator and Nintendo lmao
Lol fighting covid....
The fact that they are milking 3 games to remake ff7 is a gross slimy way of trying to take advantage of 30 and 40 year olds.
Bro goes "First on the list of BEST GAMES THIS YEAR.... this game is decent but clunky and annoying"
Lmao yoooooooo
Title says best games of 24 but you talk about mediocre games with lackluster stories or gameplay with a few highlights within said games?
Wow, its almost like games, like most art, is subjective. What you think is good is bad to others, and what others like is underwhelming to you.
Best games so far. More to come in second half of the year.
Also, "Best" in a group doesn't mean perfect. The top 10 in this list come close. But the first 15 are solid or at least honorable mentions.
