Best Games of 2024

NXTO's catalog has 172 games released in 2024. These 30 rank highest once player ratings, Metacritic scores and Steam reviews are combined. The top three: Minishoot' Adventures, Satisfactory and Balatro.

How it's ranked: a blend of RAWG player ratings, Metacritic and Steam reviews, adjusted so games with very few ratings can't outrank well-proven ones. Times are average player-reported playtime, so treat them as rough guides.
