Here it is: 2024. And with it, we're leaving behind 2023: a year that is already considered by many to be the best 365 days for gaming in at least a decade. Granted, not all expected blockbusters hit the mark. This was especially hard on us when the title featured a solid co-op option (Redfall anyone?). But there was way too much good, cooperative stuff released to keep us complaining for too long about these mishaps.
In that regard, December was, as expected, a bit on the lighter side in terms of new releases. But that doesn't mean there was nothing of note. Warhammer 40.000: Rogue Trader, for example, seems to be Owlcat's best work, yet. Hopefully, console players won't have to wait much longer for the arrival of the co-op mode. At least Xbox fans can bridge that time with Baldur's Gate III, having seen a surprise release for the platform during this year's Game Awards Show. The Anacrusis, meanwhile, left Early Access at the beginning of the month, and we can confirm that it has significantly improved since we first played it in January 2022. And on the virtual reality front, there came the release of Arizona Sunshine 2, the long-awaited sequel to the awesome co-op zombie shooter from 2016.
Speaking of VR, the release of the Meta Quest 3 in October saw a new wave of gamers joining that dimension - including our very own Paul. And while we've always featured Meta Quest VR titles on the site, we finally decided to add a dedicated platform for them: Meta Quest. So, if you and your friend group also got a shiny new toy for Christmas, take a look at all the available options!
