In 2024 almost 19.000 games were released on Steam. I have yet to find a single title from 2024 worth playing.

Satisfactory was released in 2024. It was in Early Access for some time before that.

Ditto for Caves of Qud and Nova Drift all games that I’ve played quite a bit — 2024 release following time in Early Access.

Dominions 6 is a pretty involved fantasy strategy game. I haven’t played 6 much, but I’ve played the series a lot in the past, and each game is a pretty direct expansion of prior games. Not sure if that’s up your alley, though. The game turns can get pretty long late-game, as there’s a lot going on.

I liked Balatro, a roguelike deckbuilder, quite a bit.
