Star Citizen Let’s just put that figure into perspective for a second.
Game Of The Year Editor’s Pick, 2024 - David W. Duffy

Dec 10, 2024 | thegamer.com | David Duffy

2023 was dominated by massive, showpiece experiences such as Baldur’s Gate 3, Tears of the Kingdom, Alan Wake 2, and Resident Evil 4. This year has felt significantly different. Sure, a handful of triple-A tentpoles still made headlines, but it’s also been a stellar - if not an all-timer - year for indie upstarts. As such, it’s been a challenge compiling this list, especially nailing down the order.

Buying Games For Kids These Days Is Hard

Dec 1, 2024 | thegamer.com | David Duffy

Growing up, Christmas was always the best time of year. Not because of the school holidays, or seeing family that lived far, far away, but because it was pretty much the only time I’d get new video games. The joy of unwrapping a brand new Game Boy, Mega Drive, or PlayStation game was undoubtedly shared by my mother, especially when the game she had chosen (or told my dad to buy) was received positively.
We Should Be Very Excited For Light No Fire

Sep 24, 2024 | thegamer.com | David Duffy

I was always going to be hyped for whatever Hello Games did next. I’m a massive fan of No Man’s Sky - both the initial release and what it has transformed into since, and its unique space exploration has helped me through a tough time recently. But the moment I heard Alt-J’s Hunger of the Pines start in that reveal trailer at The Game Awards 2023, I was sold on Light No Fire.

No Man's Sky Doesn't Care For The Difficulty Debate

Aug 17, 2024 | thegamer.com | David Duffy

No Man's Sky might seem a little overwhelming at first, but that's not actually the case. A wide range of options and settings means that its difficulty is very customisable. Hello Games makes it clear that it doesn't matter how you play No Man's Sky, as long as you're having a good time doing it. There’s nothing wrong with wanting a challenge when playing a video game.
Survival Games Are The Best Social Games

Feb 16, 2024 | thegamer.com | David Duffy

I’m one of those people that has a zombie apocalypse plan. I know where my friends and I will rendezvous, what our plan of action will be, and what role each of us will play in keeping the group alive. I’ve long maintained that my role, in the case that we have to resort to cannibalism to keep the rest alive, will be to die and feed my friends.
Game of the Year Editor's Pick, 2023 - David W. Duffy

Dec 5, 2023 | thegamer.com | David Duffy

I probably played fewer games in 2023 than in any other year in recent memory, but the ones I did play all left their mark in pretty impactful ways. It was a superb year for indies, full of stories that tugged at my heartstrings for a variety of reasons. My only regret is not having played more. There’s a feast of GOTY lists coming your way over the next couple of weeks, with 30 of us in total contributing to an overall list that will be revealed on December 18.
