2024 Gaming Wrap Ups [Nintendo + Steam added!]

[Cherrim]

It's that time of year again! I'll be updating this thread with each gaming giant's year-end Spotify Wrapped knockoffs.

The list so far:

• Playstation Wrap-Up
• Nintendo Switch Year in Review
• Steam Replay

 

[Cherrim]

My Playstation Wrapped didn't include any Vita time I played (rip) and it cut off to do the tally while I was in the midst of the game I just Platinumed so my stats look dismal (although they also make me look like a very reasonable person lmao... gaming? yeah I played like 47 hours all year,,,, trust me bro,,,). This would have been empty if I didn't get a PS5 and if not for the games I took out from the library it would have been like maybe 8 hours total lol.

Instead of video game releases for December, I think this being pinned till January will suffice! Anyway, mine are miserable as I hardly gamed on Xbox, Switch, and don't have a PS5.

[Nah]

Switch:
-First game played of the year: Pokemon Violet
-Most played game of the year: Persona 4 Golden (83 hours)
-Games played this year: Pokemon Violet, Persona 4 Golden, Persona 3 Portable

....I didn't use my Switch a whole lot this year lol

Playstation:
-First game played of the year: Demon's Souls remake
-Most played games of the year: Elden Ring (302 hours), Lords of the Fallen 2023 (171 hours), Demon's Souls (144 hours), Nioh 2 (76 hours), Dark Souls 2 (64 hours)
-Number of games played this year: 12 (some of the other games being Dark Souls 1, Dark Souls 3, Code Vein, and Dragon Age The Veilguard, can't remember everything right now)
-Total hours played this year: 939 (and counting)
-Trophies earned this year: 65 (1 Platinum, 2 Gold, 11 Silver, 51 Bronze)

But my PS4 and PS5 saw a lot of use. Didn't realize I put quite that many additional hours into ER, especially considering I didn't touch the game this year until Shadow of the Erdtree released in the summer.

Not too suprised how FFXIV, just like last year, dominates the charts by a huge margin. I am however very shocked to see Bannerlord in the top 5, I cannot remember for the life of me playing that a whole lot this year, though from the charts 70% of the time in Bannerlord came from January hmmm...

Total War Rome Remastered being on here aswell is kinda forboding for 2025, I started that in mid November I think so I can honestly see that game showing up way higher next year :'D

 

[Cherrim]

Kinda relieved that Steam doesn't show hours played because as always the FFXIV amount would be atrocious lmaoo. Although probably not as bad as previous years, I suppose.


My Switch got way more use than last year because I got really into borrowing games from my library, so most of my non-XIV playtime was there, I think.

 

[Zeostar]

Pretty much what I expected for PlayStation. I played a lot of WWE with my cousin.

I played Danganronpa/Persona 3 early in the year, Persona 5 in the summer, and Elden Ring late this year.

My switch didn't have nearly as many hours. It was also mostly just smash brothers/dragon quest.

 

[Lysander]

Top 2 are definitely the games I was expecting to see up there, FIFA I've been going back to every so often and Shadowverse I played pretty much non-stop in between the start of January and early March.

I wouldn't have been surprised to see games like Freedom Planet 2 or Atelier Sophie 2 ahead of Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, I doubt my hours in either of those games this year are far behind 56 hours.

1,319 hours for me this year, about 200 hours less than last year. I've barely used my PS4 this year and can probably guess the three games I've spent the most time on with it: GTA 5, Skyrim and Soul Calibur 6.

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Nintendo Year In Review:
970 total hours, 11 total games

Most played was unfortunately Eiyuden Chronicle, since I racked up a LOT of playtime due to a softlock requiring a full start-over from the beginning (after about 70 hours), several hard crashes, a ridicluous difficulty spike that required excessive level grinding (not to mention parts where I was forced to use weaker characters/my stronger characters were unusable because "story") and sluggish performance in general (those 3-5 second pauses every time you bring up the menu really add up.) Did not like the game, but was determined to finish it.

Second was Tokoyo Xanadu eX+ and third was Unicorn Overlord, and honestly, I thought those two would be reversed. They *are* my other two long JRPGs this year, so there's little surprise that they were 2nd and 3rd, though.

RPG was my top genre (36%)
Game of the Year: Still debating between Unicorn Overlord, the ONE visual novel, and Another Code: Recollection.

Steam Year in Review:
Top game by far was American Truck Simulator (76%). Second place was White Album visual novel (17%)
