COGconnected GOTY Awards 2024: Summary
Every year, the COGconnected staff votes on the best and worst of the year and 2024 will be no different. In a year full of great games, we've compiled the full list of Game of the Year awards right here, all in one place, for easy reading. This includes my favorite lists of two people: the sexiest character and everything that can be fucked since 2024 (because they were so horrible). So without further ado, here are our GOTY Awards for 2024.
game of the year
Our Game of the Year category looks at the brightest and most spectacular games of the year, crowning the winner as the best of them all.
Best new IP
Our Best New IP category looks at the best new indie games. That means no sequels, remakes, or DLC can be found here.
Best Surprises
Every once in a while there is a video game that surprises because of how unexpected and how good it is. Our Best Surprises category takes a look at all of these.
Best Music
If you're a music lover, buckle up as we count down the best game soundtracks of the year in this Best Music category.
Best indie game
Our Best Indie Game category delves into recognizing and celebrating the best games that come from smaller studios.
Most disappointing game
Among the best games there are bound to be some flops. Our Most Disappointing Games category highlights the worst of the year.
The most anticipated game of 2025
Our Most Anticipated Games of 2025 category focuses on the best games coming out next year, the ones we're most excited to sink our teeth into.
sexiest character
Not every game has a hot, sexy character, but those that do, damn. Our Sexiest Character category showcases the hottest heroes and villains alike.
Better performance
Have you ever played a game where the voice acting was so good that it resonated with the character so much? Those are always the ones that make you want to play the game again because the performance was fantastic. That's what you'll find in our Best Performance category.
Everything that can be fucked from 2024
Finally, our 2024 Everything That Can Be Fucked category is all about the worst moments or problems of the year. Like they're so bad we hope to never see them happen again.
